Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Abu Usman disliked that a person would lend dirhams to someone and then receive better in return.

Hazrat Ata says that Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) used to take dirhams as a loan. Then, when his stipend (salary) was received, he would repay with better dirhams in exchange.

Hazrat Ash'ath narrates that I asked Hasan, "O Abu Sa'id! I have some female neighbors. They have certain fixed tasks. They take loans from me, and at the time of repayment, my intention is that their dirhams, when returned, should be better than my dirhams." He replied, "There is no harm in this."

Hazrat Zakariya says that I said to Hazrat Aamir: A person takes a loan from me, and when he receives a gift, he gives me something better than that. He (Aamir) said: If you did not give him the loan on this condition, then there is no harm in it.

Hazrat Dhahhak says that when you take a loan, repay it with something better, and if this was not stipulated at the time of the loan, then there is no harm.

Hazrat Hakam and Hazrat Hammad were asked if a person gives a loan to someone and then receives better than what he gave? They replied: If it was not stipulated as a condition, then there is no harm.

It is narrated from Hazrat Al-Awza'i that a person lent ten dirhams to another. When the borrower came to repay the loan, he brought ten dirhams and two daniq (one-sixth of a dirham). He (Al-Awza'i) said: Do not accept it. I said: He is giving it willingly. He replied: Was usury not given willingly?!

Hazrat Aamir says regarding the person who gives a loan and, at the time of giving the loan, has the intention that he will be repaid with something better than what he gave. He said that this is a bad intention.

It is narrated from Ibn Sirin that a person asked Hazrat Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) for a loan, so he granted it. That person said: I have added better and finer dirhams from my own generosity for you. Hazrat Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) disliked this and said: Return to me dirhams like the ones I gave you.

Hazrat Ata bin Yaqub narrates that Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) took a loan of one thousand dirhams from me, then returned my dirhams to me in a better condition, and said: Whatever is extra in this is a gift from me to you, will you accept it? I said: Yes!

Hazrat Sha’bah says that I asked Hazrat Hakam and Hazrat Hammad whether a person gives dirhams as a loan to another, and he returns better and superior ones to him? They replied: If he does not intend (to receive better ones), then there is no harm in it.

Hazrat Aamir also says that if he does not have the intention and has not set a condition, then there is no harm.

Hazrat Mughira narrates that I asked Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) that I lent my neighbor some dirhams and he repaid the loan with better quality dirhams than those I had given him. He replied: If this was not stipulated as a condition, then there is no harm in it.
