It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that during the blessed era of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), a man bought some fruit, but a calamity befell that fruit, due to which the man became heavily indebted. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Give charity to him." People gave charity, but the amount was less than his debt. Eventually, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the creditors: "Take whatever is being given to you, and apart from that, there is nothing more."
