Hadith 524
۞
5. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “I like to give one thousand dirhams as loan twice instead of giving them once as Sadaqah. It is not permissible for an indebted person to delay repayment if he is capable of doing so. Similarly it is not permissible to be strict when a person is not capable of repaying it.”
حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِیمَ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ مَعْبَدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ قَاسِمٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ
النَّبِیُّ ص أَلْفُ دِرْهَمٍ أُقْرِضُهَا مَرَّتَیْنِ أَحَبُ إِلَیَّ مِنْ [أَنْ] أَتَصَدَّقَ بِهَا مَرَّهً وَ کَمَا لَا یَحِلُّ لِغَرِیمِکَ أَنْ یَمْطُلَکَ وَ هُوَ مُوسِرٌ فَکَذَلِکَ لَا یَحِلُّ أَنْ تُعْسِرَهُ إِذَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّهُ مُعْسِرٌ.
