[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Whoever helps a person in debt, for him is a reward equal to it every day." He said, "Then I heard him say, 'Whoever helps a person in debt, for him is a reward twice as much every day.'" I said, "I heard you, O Messenger of Allah, saying, 'Whoever helps a person in debt, for him is a reward equal to it every day.'" Then I heard you saying, 'Whoever helps a person in debt, for him is a reward twice as much every day.'" He said to him, "For every day there is a reward before the debt is settled. But once the debt is settled, if he waits for it, for him is a reward twice as much every day."

أحمد:٢٣٠٤٦حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جُحَادَةَ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ أَنْظَرَ مُعْسِرًا فَلَهُ بِكُلِّ يَوْمٍ مِثْلِهِ صَدَقَةٌ قَالَ ثُمَّ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ مَنْ أَنْظَرَ مُعْسِرًا فَلَهُ بِكُلِّ يَوْمٍ مِثْلَيْهِ صَدَقَةٌ قُلْتُ سَمِعْتُكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ تَقُولُ مَنْ أَنْظَرَ مُعْسِرًا فَلَهُ بِكُلِّ يَوْمٍ مِثْلِهِ صَدَقَةٌ ثُمَّ سَمِعْتُكَ تَقُولُ مَنْ أَنْظَرَ مُعْسِرًا فَلَهُ بِكُلِّ يَوْمٍ مِثْلَيْهِ صَدَقَةٌ قَالَ لَهُ بِكُلِّ يَوْمٍ صَدَقَةٌ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَحِلَّ الدَّيْنُ فَإِذَا حَلَّ الدَّيْنُ فَأَنْظَرَهُ فَلَهُ بِكُلِّ يَوْمٍ مِثْلَيْهِ صَدَقَةٌ
