It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "I seek refuge with Allah from disbelief and debt." A man asked, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Can debt be equal to disbelief?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, "Yes!"
