Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) said: In the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), a man suffered a loss in fruit that he had bought, and his debts became many. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Give him charity." So the people gave him charity, but that did not reach the full payment of his debt. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Take what you find, and you have nothing but that," meaning the creditors.

It is reported from Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by him while he was pressing a man for two uqiyahs. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the man, gesturing with his hand: "Reduce half of it for him." The man said: "Very well, O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)!" Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) addressed the other and said: "Pay him what remains of his due."

It is reported from Abu Salih al-Hanafi that a group of people fell into debt during the caliphate of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote to their governor: "Defer a third of the debt until they are well-off, cancel a third and collect a third immediately." So they did this.
