I think it would be easiest to just explain to the user that it's impossible to allow non-admins to view deleted content. You can then ask a different admin or a bureaucrat to double check the deleted content, and they can give a unbiased, second opinion on whether or not the admin's block was unfair.

I suppose you could also temporarily undelete the content to allow the user to view it, and then delete it again after you've convinced them.

Deleted contributions are hidden from non-admins by default. If you want to allow all users to view deleted contributions, the group rights on your wiki would need to be modified to allow all users to have the  and   permissions, according to mw:Manual:User_rights. However, these permissions can only be changed by Wikia staff. You would need to make a request via Special:Contact to see if this is something they can do.
