أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ قُدَامَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ هِنْدٍ عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُذَيْفَةَ قَالَ کَانَتْ مَيْمُونَةُ تَدَّانُ وَتُکْثِرُ فَقَالَ لَهَا أَهْلُهَا فِي ذَلِکَ وَلَامُوهَا وَوَجَدُوا عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَتْ لَا أَتْرُکُ الدَّيْنَ وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ خَلِيلِي وَصَفِيِّي صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ يَدَّانُ دَيْنًا فَعَلِمَ اللَّهُ أَنَّهُ يُرِيدُ قَضَائَهُ إِلَّا أَدَّاهُ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4701
It was narrated that ‘Imran bin Hudhaifah said: “Maimunah used to take out loans frequently, and some of her family criticized her and denounced her for that. She said: ‘I will not stop taking loans, for I heard my close friend and my beloved say: “There is no one who takes out a loan, and Allah knows that he intends to pay it back, but Allah will pay it back for him in this world.” (Hasan)
