´It was narrated that Qais bin Rumi said:` “Sulaiman bin Udhunan lent 'Alqamah one thousand Dirham until he got his salary, When he got his salary, he demanded that he pay him back and treated him harshly. He paid him back, and it was as if 'Alqamah was angry. Several months passed then he came to him and said: 'Lend me one thousand Dirham until my salary comes.' He said 'Yes, it would be an honor. O Umm 'Utbah! Bring me that sealed leather bag that you have.' He said: 'By Allah(SWT), these are your Dirham that you paid back to me; I did not touch a single Dirham., ' What made you do what you did to me (i.e., treat me so harshly)?' He said: 'What I heard from you.' He said: 'What did you hear from me?' He said: 'I heard you narrated from Ibn Mas'ud that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “There is no Muslim who lends something to another Muslim twice, but it will be like giving charity once.”He said: 'That is what Ibn Mas'ud told me.' ”

Brief Explanation
1؎: This is a word of praise. That is, when you did not need it, then why did you demand it from me so insistently? Thus, each time a loan is given, there is half the reward of charity (sadaqah); if the loan is given again, it is as if the entire amount has been given in charity. For this reason, Sulaiman insisted strongly and recovered his loan so that Alqamah would need to take the loan again, and thus his reward would increase. Subhan Allah, how eager and desirous the people of the past were for reward! Further ahead in the hadith, it is mentioned that there is more reward in a loan than in charity. This hadith apparently seems contrary to that, and it is possible that this hadith refers to loans in general, while that refers to a loan in which the lender does not demand repayment from the debtor, or which is given at a time of severe need. And Allah knows best.
