Chapter on the Reward of Lending
Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 2|Book 1|Chapter 12
قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «مَكْتُوبٌ عَلَى بَابِ اَلْجَنَّةِ اَلصَّدَقَةُ بِعَشَرَةٍ وَ اَلْقَرْضُ بِثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ.
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: "It is written on the gate of Paradise: Charity is rewarded tenfold, and a loan is rewarded eighteenfold."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh
وَ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي قَوْلِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: « لاٰ خَيْرَ فِي كَثِيرٍ مِنْ نَجْوٰاهُمْ إِلاّٰ مَنْ أَمَرَ بِصَدَقَةٍ أَوْ مَعْرُوفٍ أَوْ إِصْلاٰحٍ بَيْنَ اَلنّٰاسِ » قَالَ «اَلْمَعْرُوفُ اَلْقَرْضُ».
Imam عليه السلام said, regarding the words of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Exalted: "There is no good in most of their secret talks except one who enjoins charity or kindness or reconciliation between people" (Surah An-Nisa 4:114); "Kindness (ma'ruf) refers to lending."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh
وَ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «مَا مِنْ مُؤْمِنٍ أَقْرَضَ مُؤْمِناً يَلْتَمِسُ بِهِ وَجْهَ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلاَّ حُسِبَ لَهُ أَجْرُهَا بِحِسَابِ اَلصَّدَقَةِ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ مَالُهُ إِلَيْهِ.
Imam عليه السلام said: "There is no believer who lends to another believer seeking the pleasure of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Majestic, except that it is counted for him as the reward of charity until his money is returned to him."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh
وَ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «قَرْضُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِ غَنِيمَةٌ وَ تَعْجِيلُ خَيْرٍ إِنْ أَيْسَرَ أَدَّاهُ وَ إِنْ مَاتَ اُحْتُسِبَ مِنْ زَكَاتِهِ ».
Imam عليه السلام said: "Lending to a believer is a gain and a hastening of goodness; if he becomes able to repay, he does so, and if he dies, it is counted as part of his zakat."
