Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 6719 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: On the night
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ ، نَا هِشَامُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْأَزْرَقُ ، نَا خَالِدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي مَالِكٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : رَأَيْتُ لَيْلَةَ أُسْرِيَ بِي مَكْتُوبٌ عَلَى بَابِ الْجَنَّةِ : الصَّدَقَةُ بِعَشْرِ أَمْثَالِهَا ، وَالْقَرْضُ بِثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ ، قُلْتُ : يَا جِبْرِيلُ ، مَا بَالُ الْقَرْضِ أَفْضَلُ مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ ؟ فَقَالَ : إِنَّ السَّائِلَ يَسْأَلُ وَعِنْدَهُ ، وَالْمُسْتَقْرِضُ لَا يَسْتَقْرِضُ إِلَّا مِنْ حَاجَةٍ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "On the night I was taken on the Night Journey, I saw written on the gate of Paradise: 'Charity is (rewarded) tenfold, and a loan eighteenfold.' I asked: 'O Jibril, why is a loan better than charity?' He replied: 'Because the beggar asks even while he has wealth with him, whereas the one who seeks a loan borrows only out of need.'"
