BENEFIT: What reward does a person receive if he lends money to someone?

Do you know that if you lend someone a sum of money, to be repaid after a period of time, then as long as the loan remains between you, it is as if you are giving charity equal to that loan every single day? 📌 Can you imagine how great that is? For example, if you lend someone 1,000 riyals to be repaid after one year, then for every day of that year, it is as if you are giving charity equal to that amount. What is the proof for this? It is the saying of the Prophet ﷺ: “Whoever gives extra time to a person in difficulty will receive a reward equal to it as charity for each day before the debt becomes due. And once the debt becomes due and he still gives him more time, then for each day he will receive a double of it as charity.” [Reported by Ahmad in his Musnad with an authentic chain] This means that if the debt becomes due and the person has not repaid it and asks you for more time, then for every day of that extra time you are rewarded with charity just like before. Relieving the hardships of Muslims carries a tremendous reward with Allāh. 📌 And remember that the Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever gives more time to a person in difficulty or forgives part of the debt, Allah will shade him in His shade.” [Narrated by Muslim].
