Al-Kāfi|Volume 4|Book 1|Chapter 29
5ـ سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ السِّنْدِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ قَرْضُ الْمُؤْمِنِ غَنِيمَةٌ وَتَعْجِيلُ خَيْرٍ إِنْ أَيْسَرَ أَدَّاهُ وَإِنْ مَاتَ احْتُسِبَ مِنَ الزَّكَاةِ.
5. Sahl ibn Ziyad has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-FIamid from Ibrahim al-Sindiy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said that providing a loan for a believing person is an (important) gain and a good deed if done quickly. If he becomes financially capable, he repays, but if he dies, the provider of loan can count it as payment for zakat.”
