The bankrupt: settling wrongs in good and bad deeds

المفلس: المقاصة بالحسنات والسيئات

The Prophet asked his Companions who the bankrupt is; they said: one with no dirham and no goods. He explained that the bankrupt of his community is the one who comes on the Day of Resurrection with prayer, fasting and alms, having insulted this one, slandered that one, consumed the wealth of another, shed the blood of another and struck another; each is paid from his good deeds, and if they run out before what he owes is settled, their sins are taken and laid on him Muslim 2581 — Do you know who the bankrupt one is?; al-Bukhari carries the urging to settle wrongs before a day with neither dinar nor dirham Sahih al-Bukhari 6534 — deeds settled between people. This is the text that makes good and bad deeds a currency moved between accounts, and it closes the table because it shows that a balance gathered may be paid out to someone else.
