Salim narrates from Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda' (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: For me to lend two dinars twice is dearer to me than to give them both in charity, because the two dinars that I lend will come back to me, then I will give them in charity, and so I will have a double reward.
(b) It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both): That I lend twice is dearer to me than that I give charity or a gift only once.
(c) Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: If I lend twice, that is dearer to me than giving charity once.
