حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ نُفَيْعٍ أَبِي دَاوُدَ عَنْ بُرَيْدَةَ الْأَسْلَمِيِّ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ أَنْظَرَ مُعْسِرًا کَانَ لَهُ بِکُلِّ يَوْمٍ صَدَقَةٌ وَمَنْ أَنْظَرَهُ بَعْدَ حِلِّهِ کَانَ لَهُ مِثْلُهُ فِي کُلِّ يَوْمٍ صَدَقَةٌ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 2418
It was narrated from Buraidah Al-Aslami that the Prophet said: "Whoever gives respite to one in difficulty, he will have (the reward of) an act of charity for each day. Whoever gives him respite after payment becomes due, will have (the reward of) an act of charity equal to (the amount of the loan) for each day."
