Sunan Ibn Majah: Book 15, Hadith 41
It was narrated that Qais bin Rumi said: “Sulaiman bin Udhunan lent ‘Alqamah one thousand Dirham until he got his salary, When he got his salary, he demanded that he pay him back and treated him harshly. He paid him back, and it was as if ‘Alqamah was angry. Several months passed then he came to him and said: ‘Lend me one thousand Dirham until my salary comes.’ He said ‘Yes, it would be an honor. O Umm ‘Utbah! Bring me that sealed leather bag that you have.’ He said: ‘By Allah(SWT), these are your Dirham that you paid back to me; I did not touch a single Dirham., ‘ What made you do what you did to me (i.e., treat me so harshly)?’ He said: ‘What I heard from you.’ He said: ‘What did you hear from me?’ He said: ‘I heard you narrated from Ibn Mas’ud that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “There is no Muslim who lends something to another Muslim twice, but it will be like giving charity once.”He said: ‘That is what Ibn Mas’ud told me.’ ”
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ الْعَسْقَلاَنِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْلَى، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ يُسَيْرٍ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ رُومِيٍّ، قَالَ كَانَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ أُذُنَانٍ يُقْرِضُ عَلْقَمَةَ أَلْفَ دِرْهَمٍ إِلَى عَطَائِهِ فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ عَطَاؤُهُ تَقَاضَاهَا مِنْهُ وَاشْتَدَّ عَلَيْهِ فَقَضَاهُ فَكَأَنَّ عَلْقَمَةَ غَضِبَ فَمَكَثَ أَشْهُرًا ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ فَقَالَ أَقْرِضْنِي أَلْفَ دِرْهَمٍ إِلَى عَطَائِي قَالَ نَعَمْ وَكَرَامَةً يَا أُمَّ عُتْبَةَ هَلُمِّي تِلْكَ الْخَرِيطَةَ الْمَخْتُومَةَ الَّتِي عِنْدَكِ . فَجَاءَتْ بِهَا فَقَالَ أَمَا وَاللَّهِ إِنَّهَا لَدَرَاهِمُكَ الَّتِي قَضَيْتَنِي مَا حَرَّكْتُ مِنْهَا دِرْهَمًا وَاحِدًا . قَالَ فَلِلَّهِ أَبُوكَ مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى مَا فَعَلْتَ بِي . قَالَ مَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْكَ . قَالَ مَا سَمِعْتَ مِنِّي قَالَ سَمِعْتُكَ تَذْكُرُ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
“ مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يُقْرِضُ مُسْلِمًا قَرْضًا مَرَّتَيْنِ إِلاَّ كَانَ كَصَدَقَتِهَا مَرَّةً ” . قَالَ كَذَلِكَ أَنْبَأَنِي ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ .
Sunan Ibn Majah: Book 15, Hadith 41
Sahih (Darussalam)
The above hadith is from the Sunan Ibn Majah collection of hadiths. The Sunan Ibn Majah is a monumental work in Islamic literature, being one of the six primary hadith collections accepted by Sunni Muslims. Its author, Ibn Majah, passed away in the year 886 CE after compiling thousands of prophetic traditions. The book’s content is remarkably wide-ranging, offering teachings on fundamental beliefs, detailed instructions for worship, ethical directives, and commentary on community affairs. A distinguishing feature of this collection is its critical reception. While it is held in high regard, it does not quite match the perceived authenticity level of the other five major collections due to the presence of some less reliable reports. Despite this, it maintains its vital role in scholarly research.
