Sunan an-Nasai 4688 (Book 44, Hadith 240) #19221
Repaying Debts Promptly

SUMMARY: It is wrong for a rich man to take a long time to repay a debt.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allah said: 'If one of you is referred to a rich man (to help repay a debt), he should accept that referral, and (wrongdoing) is when a rich man takes a long time to repay a debt"'.
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِذَا أُتْبِعَ أَحَدُكُمْ عَلَى مَلِيءٍ فَلْيَتْبَعْ وَالظُّلْمُ مَطْلُ الْغَنِيِّ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that it is wrong for a rich person to take too long in repaying their debts. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said that if someone is referred to a rich person, they should accept the referral and not delay in repaying the debt. This hadith emphasizes the importance of being prompt and responsible when it comes to paying back what we owe others. It also encourages us to help those who are in need, as we should be willing to refer them towards people who can help them out financially. We should also remember that Allah will reward us for our good deeds, so helping others out financially can be an act of worship if done with the right intentions.
