So I took the money back from him. He said, "You broke the agreement with me, even though I prevented you." I said, "Yes, that's your own fault." He said, "What's it to me?" I said, "You told me about Ibn Mas'ood that the Prophet ﷺ said, 'Indeed, the payment comes to the recipient like the flow of charity.' He said, "Yes, it is like that." I said, "So take it now."
