hadith 493

Himad ibn Uthman narrated that once when he was with Imam Sadiq (a.s) one of their companions entered, and Imam Sadiq (a.s) asked him: “Why has so and so complained to me about you?” He replied: “He is complaining because I have asked him to pay back what is mine.” Imam Sadiq (a.s) said

“Did you not think that he might get upset if you do so. Have you not read God's words in: “Those who join together those things which God hath commanded to be joined, hold their Lord in awe, and fear the terrible reckoning.” [The Holy Quran: Ra'd 13:21] “Do they fear that God may oppress them? No. They fear that they may be asked to account for their deeds. (Regarding the words in this verse, Imam Sadiq (a.s) commented: ) God called it a terrible reckoning, therefore it is bad to reckon with your (believing) brother.”

عن حماد بن عثمان قال

كنت عند أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام): إذ دخل عليه رجل من أصحابنا، فقال له أبو عبد الله (عليه السلام): يشكوك فلان، قال: يشكوني إني استقضيت حقي منه! فقال أبو عبد الله (عليه السلام): كأنك إذا استقضيت حقك لم تسئ؟ أرأيت ما ذكر عز وجل في القرآن: ﴿يخافون سوء الحساب﴾ أخافوا أن يجور الله عليهم؟ لا والله ما خافوا ذلك إنما خافوا الاستقضاء، فسماه الله سوء الحساب، نعم من استقضى من أخيه فقد أساء.

hadith 502

Huziqat ibn Mansoor narrated that Imam Sadiq (a.s) said

“Do not do something for your believing brother that harms you more than it helps him.” Ibn San'an said: “This means that if, for example, someone has a great debt and you have a little bit of property, do not try to use your property to pay back his debt. This will end up in you losing your property and will also still leave him in debt.”

عن حذيفة بن منصور عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال

لا تدخل لأخيك في أمر مضرته عليك أعظم من منفعته له. قال ابن سنان: يعني أن الرجل يكون عليه دين كثير ولك مال قليل فتؤدي عنه فيذهب مالك ولا تكون قضيت دينه.

hadith 507

Abi Amarat ibn al-Tay'yar narrated that Imam Sadiq (a.s) said

“God does not need to ask anyone for a loan, and whatever rights He has belong to his friends. God has established some of the believers as the means for others to make progress. God has fulfilled His promise and has increased the blessings of those who are grateful.”

عن أبي عمارة بن الطيار قال

سمعت أبا عبد الله (عليه السلام) يقول: إن الله لم يسأل الناس ما في أيديهم قرضا من حاجة منه إلى ذلك، وما كان لله حق فإنما هو لوليه، وإنما جعل المؤمنين بعضهم لبعض سلما ومرتفعا ودرجة، فإن الله وفى لمن وفى له زايدا لمن شكر.
