Reward of condoning a loanee

1. My father رحمه الله said: it was narrated to me by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Ya’qub b. Yazid from Ibn Abi ’Umayr from Ibrahim b. Abdul-Hameed who said: The narrator told Imam Ja’far Sadiq عليه السلام, “Abdur Rahman bin Siyabah had taken some money from a person and he died without repaying it. We asked that man to write off the loan but he did not accept.” Imam عليه السلام replied, “Pity on that man. Didn’t he know that had he forgiven it, he would have got ten rewards for each dirham and now he will get a dirham only for each dirham?”
