Reward of delaying the repayment of loan for an indebted person
1 hadith أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْیَرِیُّ عَنْ یَعْقُوبَ بْنِ یَزِیدَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ سَدِیرٍ عَنْ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: یُبْعَثُ یَوْمَ الْقِیَامَهِ قَوْمٌ تَحْتَ ظِلِّ الْعَرْشِ وَ وُجُوهُهُمْ مِنْ نُورٍ وَ رِیَاشُهُمْ مِنْ نُورٍ جُلُوسٌ عَلَی کَرَاسِیَّ مِنْ نُورٍ قَالَ فَتَشَرَّفَ لَهُمُ الْخَلَائِقُ فَیَقُولُونَ هَؤُلَاءِ الْأَنْبِیَاءُ فَیُنَادِی مُنَادٍ مِنْ تَحْتِ الْعَرْشِ أَنْ لَیْسَ هَؤُلَاءِ بِأَنْبِیَاءَ قَالَ فَیَقُولُونَ هَؤُلَاءِ شُهَدَاءُ فَیُنَادِی مُنَادٍ مِنْ تَحْتِ الْعَرْشِ لَیْسَ هَؤُلَاءِ بِشُهَدَاءَ وَ لَکِنْ هَؤُلَاءِ قَوْمٌ کَانُوا یُیَسِّرُونَ عَلَی الْمُؤْمِنِینَ وَ یُنْظِرُونَ الْمُعْسِرَ حَتَّی یُیَسَّرَ.
1. My father رحمه الله said: it was narrated to us by Abdillah b. Ja’far al-Himyari from Ya’qub b. Yazid from al-Hassan b. Mahbub from Hamad from Sadeer from Abi Ja’far عليه السلام who said: “Some people would be sitting on the chairs of light under the shade of the Divine Throne having bright faces and wearing illuminated dresses. People will wonder, ‘Are they prophets?’ A caller would say, ‘No’. People will ask, ‘Are they martyrs?’ The caller would reply, ‘They are not martyrs. They used to remain lenient with the believers and used to give time to debtors to repay loans and used to ask them to repay the loan whenever they are capable of it’.”
