Sunan Ibn Majah 2409 (Book 15, Hadith 20) #31761
The Debt of Allah

SUMMARY: Allah will be the borrower until He pays off His debt, as long as it is not for something that Allah dislikes.

It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin Ja'far that the Messenger of Allah said: "Allah will be the borrower until he pays off his debt, so long as it (the loan) is not for something that Allah dislikes".
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي فُدَيْكٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، - مَوْلَى الأَسْلَمِيِّينَ - عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الدَّائِنِ حَتَّى يَقْضِيَ دَيْنَهُ مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ فِيمَا يَكْرَهُ اللَّهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ يَقُولُ لِخَازِنِهِ اذْهَبْ فَخُذْ لِي بِدَيْنٍ فَإِنِّي أَكْرَهُ أَنْ أَبِيتَ لَيْلَةً إِلاَّ وَاللَّهُ مَعِي بَعْدَ الَّذِي سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the debt of Allah. It tells us that even though we may think of God as being perfect and without any need, He still has a debt to pay. This debt is not for something that God dislikes, but rather it is a loan taken out by Him in order to help people in need. We can learn from this hadith that we should always be willing to help those who are less fortunate than us and never turn away from them when they ask for assistance. We should also remember that even though God has no need for anything, He still takes out loans in order to help others and this shows us how generous and kind He truly is.
