عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ أُصِيبَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي ثِمَارٍ ابْتَاعَهَا فَكَثُرَ دَيْنُهُ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَصَدَّقُوا عَلَيْهِ قَالَ فَتَصَدَّقَ النَّاسُ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَبْلُغْ ذَلِكَ وَفَاءَ دَيْنِهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ خُذُوا مَا وَجَدْتُمْ وَلَيْسَ لَكُمْ إِلَّا ذَلِكَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that in the blessed era of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), a man bought some fruit, but a calamity befell that fruit, due to which the man became heavily indebted. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Give charity to him." So the people gave charity, but its amount was less than his debt. Eventually, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the creditors: "Take whatever is being given to you, and besides this, there is nothing more."
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … According to this hadith as well, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam interceded with the creditors, requesting them to forgive the remaining debt.
