Hazrat Hamzah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that Abu Rayhanah (may Allah have mercy on him) was residing on the island of Miyafarqin. There, he bought a rope from the household of a Nabati. Then, when the caravan set out and the people reached the place of Rasīn, he dismounted from his ride and asked his servant, "Did you pay that Nabati?" He replied, "No." So he took out some expenses from his own provisions, gave the rest of the goods to the servant, and said to his companions, "Take care of this ride and the goods until I return home." They asked, "Abu Rayhanah, where are you going?" He replied, "I intend to go to my creditor and return his trust to him." Then he set out until he reached Miyafarqin, and after paying his debt, he returned home.
