Sunan Ibn Majah 2432 (Book 15, Hadith 43) #31784
Accepting Gifts and Rides From Borrowers

SUMMARY: It is not permissible to accept a gift or ride from someone who has borrowed money from you, unless it was a pre-existing practice between the two of you.

It was narrated that Yahya bin Abu Ishaq Al-Huna'i said: "I asked Anas bin Malik: 'What if a man gives his brother a loan, then (the borrower) give him a gift?’ The Messenger of Allah said: 'If anyone of you borrow something then he gives (the lender) a gift or gives him a ride on his riding-beast, he should not accept the gift or the ride, unless they used to treat each other in that manner beforehand'."
حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عُتْبَةُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ الضَّبِّيُّ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ الْهُنَائِيِّ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ الرَّجُلُ مِنَّا يُقْرِضُ أَخَاهُ الْمَالَ فَيُهْدِي لَهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ إِذَا أَقْرَضَ أَحَدُكُمْ قَرْضًا فَأَهْدَى لَهُ أَوْ حَمَلَهُ عَلَى الدَّابَّةِ فَلاَ يَرْكَبْهَا وَلاَ يَقْبَلْهُ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ جَرَى بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهُ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ

QUICK LESSONS:
Be generous with those in need; Help others when possible; Do not take advantage of people who are indebted to you; Treat others fairly even if they owe you something

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith discusses the issue of accepting gifts or rides from someone who has borrowed money from you. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said that if one borrows something and then gives the lender a gift or offers them a ride on their riding beast, they should not accept it unless they used to treat each other in that manner beforehand. This teaches us that we should not take advantage of people who are in debt to us, even if they offer us something as an expression of gratitude for lending them money. We should only accept such gifts if it was already part of our relationship before the loan was taken out. This hadith also teaches us about being generous with those in need and helping others when we can without expecting anything in return.
