Musnad Abi Ya'la 5366 — I lent Alqamah (may Allah have mercy on him)
وَعَنْ حَمَّادٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَطَاءُ بْنُ السَّائِبِ ، عَنِ ابْنِ أُذُنَانِ ، قَالَ : أَسْلَفْتُ عَلْقَمَةَ أَلْفَيْ دِرْهَمٍ ، فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ عَطَاؤُهُ ، قُلْتُ لَهُ : اقْضِنِي ، قَالَ : أَخِّرْنِي إِلَى قَابِلٍ ، قَالَ : فَأَبَيْتُ عَلَيْهِ ، فَأَخَذْتُهَا مِنْهُ ، قَالَ : فَأَتَيْتُهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ ، فَقَالَ : بَرَّحْتَ بِي ، وَقَدْ مَنَعْتَنِي ، فَقُلْتُ : نَعَمْ ، هُوَ عَمَلُكَ ، قَالَ : فَمَا شَأْنِي ؟ قُلْتُ : إِنَّكَ حَدَّثْتَنِي ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، قَالَ : إِنَّ السَّلَفَ يَجْرِي مَجْرَى شَطْرِ الصَّدَقَةِ ، قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، فَهُوَ كَذَلِكَ ، قَالَ : فَخُذِ الْآنَ .
Ibn Udhunan (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I lent Alqamah (may Allah have mercy on him) two thousand dirhams. Then when his (state) stipend came out, I demanded of him: "Repay my loan." He said: "Give me respite until next year." But I was strict with him and took my money from him. After that, when I came to him again, he said (in a tone of complaint): "You were very hard on me and refused to give me respite." I said: "Yes, this is a practice you yourself taught." He asked: "What have I to do with it?" I said: "It was you who narrated this hadith to me through Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Indeed, giving a loan is (in reward) equal to giving half of it in charity.'" Alqamah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Yes, it is exactly so." So I said: "(If that is the case,) now take this money again as a loan."
