Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)

LENIENCY WITH DEBTORS

Hadrat Aishah (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, “If any one in my Ummah falls in debt and in spite of his best efforts is unable to discharge it, before he dies I will be his supporter.

Hadrat Abu Qatada (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, “If anyone would like ALLAAH to save him from the anxieties of the day of resurrection, he should grant a respite to one who is in difficult circumstances, or remit his debt.” [Muslim]
