حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّی قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ حُصَيْنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ أَنَّ مَيْمُونَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اسْتَدَانَتْ فَقِيلَ لَهَا يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ تَسْتَدِينِينَ وَلَيْسَ عِنْدَکِ وَفَائٌ قَالَتْ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَنْ أَخَذَ دَيْنًا وَهُوَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُؤَدِّيَهُ أَعَانَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4702
It was narrated from ‘Ubaidullah bin ‘Abdullah bin ‘Utbah that Maim the wife of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم took a loan, and it was said to her: “Mother of the Believers, why have you taken a loan when you do not have the means to pay it off?” She said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم say: ‘Whoever takes a loan intending to pay it back, Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, will help him.” (Hasan)
