EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of paying debts and doing so with generosity. It was narrated by Jabir ibn Abdullah who said that the Prophet owed him a debt and when he paid it back, he gave him something extra. This teaches us that we should always pay our debts on time and do so with generosity. We should not be stingy or try to get away without paying what we owe. Instead, we should be generous in our dealings and show kindness to those who are owed money from us. Furthermore, this hadith also teaches us that even if someone owes you money, you should still treat them kindly and not take advantage of them or make them feel bad for owing you money.
