It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever takes a loan while intending in his heart to repay it, and then dies (before repaying), Allah Almighty will pardon him and will satisfy his creditor in whatever way He wills. And whoever takes a loan while not intending in his heart to repay it, and then dies, Allah Almighty will take retribution from him on behalf of his creditor on the Day of Resurrection."

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had two thick, coarse garments (cloaks) made in Qatar. I said: "O Messenger of Allah, these two garments of yours are very coarse and thick; you sweat in them and they become heavy on you. So-and-so has received some fine cloth from Syria; if only you would send word to him and take two garments from him on credit until ease (comes)." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent word to him, and he said: "I know what Muhammad wants; he wants to take my cloth and then delay payment for it." The messenger came and informed the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He has lied. They know full well that I am the most God-fearing of them and the most faithful of them in fulfilling trusts." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Bukhari, but the two Shaykhs did not record it; and Shu'bah has also narrated it from Umarah bin Abi Hafsah in an abridged form.

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: I said: "O Messenger of Allah, your garments are thick; if only you would take them off and send word to so-and-so the merchant to send you two garments on credit until ease (comes)." The narrator said: So he (peace and blessings be upon him) sent word to him: "Send me two garments on credit until ease (comes)." But he refused.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a trade caravan arrived and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) bought some goods from it, on which he (peace and blessings be upon him) made a profit of several uqiyahs of gold. He (peace and blessings be upon him) distributed that profit among the children of Banu Abd al-Muttalib and said: "I do not buy anything whose price I do not have with me." Imam Bukhari used Ikrimah as evidence, and Imam Muslim used Simak and Sharik as evidence. This hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs did not record it.
