It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she used to take loans. It was said to her: "Why do you take loans when you have no apparent means of repaying?" She said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whenever a servant has the intention of repaying his debt, he receives help from Allah." So I am always seeking that (unseen) help. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it; and a similar narration has been reported from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) through Muhammad bin Ali bin al-Husayn as well.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Muhammad bin Ali (may Allah have mercy on him) that Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) used to take loans. She was asked: "Why do you take loans?" She said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whenever a servant has the intention of repaying his debt, he receives help from Allah." So I am always seeking that help. Its supporting narration (shahid) is the hadith of Sayyidah Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her).

It is narrated from Sayyidah Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she used to take loans frequently. When she was asked about this, she said: "I will not stop taking loans, because there is help from Allah for it, and I am always seeking that help."
