Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: In the blessed time of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), a man suffered a loss in the fruits he had purchased and his debt increased. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Give charity to him." Charity was given to that man, but still it was not enough to fully pay off his debt. So the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said (i.e., to the creditors): "Take what is being given to you; you will get only this."
