Sunan Ibn Majah — Voluntary Charity

It was narrated that Qais bin Rumi said:“Sulaiman bin Udhunan lent 'Alqamah one thousand Dirham until he got his salary, When he got his salary, he demanded that he pay him back and treated him harshly. He paid him back, and it was as if 'Alqamah was angry. Several months passed then he came to him and said: 'Lend me one thousand Dirham until my salary comes.' He said 'Yes, it would be an honor. O Umm 'Utbah! Bring me that sealed leather bag that you have.' He said: 'By Allah(SWT), these are your Dirham that you paid back to me; I did not touch a single Dirham., ' What made you do what you did to me (i.e., treat me so harshly)?' He said: 'What I heard from you.' He said: 'What did you hear from me?' He said: 'I heard you narrated from Ibn Mas'ud that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “There is no Muslim who lends something to another Muslim twice, but it will be like giving charity once.”He said: 'That is what Ibn Mas'ud told me.' ”

حدثنا محمد بن خلف العسقلاني، حدثنا يعلى، حدثنا سليمان بن يسير، عن قيس بن رومي، قال كان سليمان بن اذنان يقرض علقمة الف درهم الى عطايه فلما خرج عطاوه تقاضاها منه واشتد عليه فقضاه فكان علقمة غضب فمكث اشهرا ثم اتاه فقال اقرضني الف درهم الى عطايي قال نعم وكرامة يا ام عتبة هلمي تلك الخريطة المختومة التي عندك . فجاءت بها فقال اما والله انها لدراهمك التي قضيتني ما حركت منها درهما واحدا . قال فلله ابوك ما حملك على ما فعلت بي . قال ما سمعت منك . قال ما سمعت مني قال سمعتك تذكر عن ابن مسعود ان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال " ما من مسلم يقرض مسلما قرضا مرتين الا كان كصدقتها مرة " . قال كذلك انباني ابن مسعود

It was narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:“On the night on which I was taken on the Night Journey (Isra), I saw written at the gate of Paradise: 'Charity brings a tenfold reward and a loan brings an eighteen fold reward.' I said: 'O Jibril! Why is a loan better than charity?' He said: 'Because the beggar asks when he has something, but the one who asks for loan does so only because he is in need.' ”

حدثنا عبيد الله بن عبد الكريم، حدثنا هشام بن خالد، حدثنا خالد بن يزيد بن ابي مالك، وحدثنا ابو حاتم، حدثنا هشام بن خالد، حدثنا خالد بن يزيد بن ابي مالك، عن ابيه، عن انس بن مالك، قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " رايت ليلة اسري بي على باب الجنة مكتوبا الصدقة بعشر امثالها والقرض بثمانية عشر . فقلت يا جبريل ما بال القرض افضل من الصدقة . قال لان السايل يسال وعنده والمستقرض لا يستقرض الا من حاجة

It was narrated that Yahya bin Abu Ishaq Al-Huna'i said:“I asked Anas bin Malik: 'What if a man gives his brother a loan, then (the borrower) give him a gift?’ The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘If anyone of you borrow something then he gives (the lender) a gift or gives him a ride on his riding-beast, he should not accept the gift or the ride, unless they used to treat each other in that manner beforehand.'”

حدثنا هشام بن عمار، حدثنا اسماعيل بن عياش، حدثني عتبة بن حميد الضبي، عن يحيى بن ابي اسحاق الهنايي، قال سالت انس بن مالك الرجل منا يقرض اخاه المال فيهدي له قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " اذا اقرض احدكم قرضا فاهدى له او حمله على الدابة فلا يركبها ولا يقبله الا ان يكون جرى بينه وبينه قبل ذلك

It was narrated from Sa'd bin Atwal that :his brother died, leaving behind three hundred Dirham and dependents. “I wanted to spend (his money) on his dependents, but the Prophet (ﷺ) said: 'Your brother is being detained by his debt, so pay it off for him.'” He said “O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), I have paid it off apart from two Dinar, which a woman is claiming but she has no proof.” He said: “Give them to her for she is telling the truth.”

حدثنا ابو بكر بن ابي شيبة، حدثنا عفان، حدثنا حماد بن سلمة، اخبرني عبد الملك ابو جعفر، عن ابي نضرة، عن سعد بن الاطول، ان اخاه، مات وترك ثلاثماية درهم وترك عيالا فاردت ان انفقها على عياله فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم " ان اخاك محتبس بدينه فاقض عنه " . فقال يا رسول الله قد اديت عنه الا دينارين ادعتهما امراة وليس لها بينة . قال " فاعطها فانها محقة

It was narrated from Jabir bin 'Abdullah that :his father died owing thirty Wasq to a Jewish man. Jabir bin Abdullah asked him for respite but he refused. Jabir asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) to intercede for him with him, so the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) went and spoke to the Jew, asking him to accept dates in lieu of what was owed, but he refused. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) spoke to him but he refused to give respite. Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) went in among the date-palm trees and walked among them. Then he said to Jabir: “Pick (dates) for him and pay off what is owed to him in full.” So he picked thirty Wasq of dates after the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came back, and there were twelve Wasq more (than what was owed). Jabir came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) to tell him what had happened, and he found that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was absent. When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came back he came to him and told him that he had paid off the debt in full, and he told him about the extra dates. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Tell 'Umar bin Khattab about that.” So Jabir went to 'Umar said to him: “I knew when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) walked amongst them that Allah (SWT) would bless them for us.”

حدثنا عبد الرحمن بن ابراهيم الدمشقي، حدثنا شعيب بن اسحاق، حدثنا هشام بن عروة، عن وهب بن كيسان، عن جابر بن عبد الله، ان اباه، توفي وترك عليه ثلاثين وسقا لرجل من اليهود فاستنظره جابر بن عبد الله فابى ان ينظره فكلم جابر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ليشفع له اليه فجاءه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فكلم اليهودي لياخذ ثمر نخله بالذي له عليه فابى عليه فكلمه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فابى ان ينظره فدخل رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم النخل فمشى فيها ثم قال لجابر " جد له فاوفه الذي له " . فجد له بعد ما رجع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ثلاثين وسقا وفضل له اثنا عشر وسقا فجاء جابر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ليخبره بالذي كان فوجد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم غايبا فلما انصرف رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم جاءه فاخبره انه قد اوفاه واخبره بالفضل الذي فضل فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " اخبر بذلك عمر بن الخطاب " . فذهب جابر الى عمر فاخبره فقال له عمر لقد علمت حين مشى فيه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ليباركن الله فيها

It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin 'Amr that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:“A debt will be settled on the Day of Resurrection if the one who owes it dies, apart from three: A man who lost his strength fighting in the cause of Allah (SWT), so he borrows in order to become strong again to fighting in the cause of Allah (SWT), so he borrows in order to become strong again to fight the enemy of Allah (SWT) and his enemy. A man who sees a Muslims die and he cannot find anything with which to shroud him except by taking a loan. A man who sees a Muslim die and he cannot find anything with which to shroud him except, by taking a loan. A man who fears Allah (SWT) if he stays single, so he gets married for fear of (losing) his religious commitment. Allah will pay off the debt for these people on the Day of Resurrection.”

حدثنا ابو كريب، حدثنا رشدين بن سعد، وعبد الرحمن المحاربي، وابو اسامة وجعفر بن عون عن ابن انعم، قال ابو كريب وحدثنا وكيع، عن سفيان، عن ابن انعم، عن عمران بن عبد المعافري، عن عبد الله بن عمرو، قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " ان الدين يقضى من صاحبه يوم القيامة اذا مات الا من يدين في ثلاث خلال الرجل تضعف قوته في سبيل الله فيستدين يتقوى به لعدو الله وعدوه ورجل يموت عنده مسلم لا يجد ما يكفنه ويواريه الا بدين ورجل خاف الله على نفسه العزبة فينكح خشية على دينه فان الله يقضي عن هولاء يوم القيامة
