Silsilah as-Sahihah 2561 — Repaying debts is a virtuous act

Sufyan bin ‘Uyaynah narrates from Ibn al-Munkadir, and he narrates from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Bringing happiness to a believer, paying off his debt, fulfilling his need, and removing any distress from him are among the best of deeds.” Sufyan says: It was said to Ibn al-Munkadir, “Is there anything left that is delightful?” He replied: “Good conduct towards brothers.”
