The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The reward of three deeds is my responsibility, that is, they are very great deeds: giving a gift, offering a sacrifice, and a person performing Hajj on behalf of another person when he himself has not performed Hajj at all.

Hazrat Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him) says that no person gives a loan nor gives wealth, but the lender is superior to both of them, and if he repays, then he should repay well.

Hazrat Abu Darda says that it is more beloved to me to lend someone two dinars than to give both of them in charity. Indeed, if I give them in charity, then they return to me and I give them in charity again, I will receive double the reward.
