حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ ، سَمِعْتُ زَيْدَ بْنَ أَسْلَمَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَطَاءُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍمَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : اسْتَسْلَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَكْرًا بِمِثْلِهِ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ ، قَالَ : " فَإِنَّ خَيْرَ عِبَادِ اللَّهِ أَحْسَنُهُمْ قَضَاءً " .
Abu Rafi', the freed slave of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) , said: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) took as a loan (the rest of the hadith is the same), but with this variation that he (the Holy Prophet) said: Good amongst the servants of Allah is he who is best in paying off the debt.
