أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى الْفُضَيْلِ أَبِي مُعَاذٍ عَنْ أَبِي حَرِيزٍ أَنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَهُ
أَنَّ الْأَسْوَدَ بْنَ يَزِيدَ كَانَ يَسْتَقْرِضُ مِنْ تَاجِرٍ فَإِذَا خَرَجَ عَطَاؤُهُ قَضَاهُ فَقَالَ الْأَسْوَدُ إِنْ شِئْتَ أَخَّرْتُ عَنْكَ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ كَانَتْ عَلَيْنَا حُقُوقٌ فِي هَذَا الْعَطَاءِ فَقَالَ لَهُ التَّاجِرُ لَسْتَ فَاعِلًا فَنَقَدَهُ الْأَسْوَدُ خَمْسَ مِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ حَتَّى إِذَا قَبَضَهَا قَالَ لَهُ التَّاجِرُ دُونَكَهَا فَخُذْ بِهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ الْأَسْوَدُ قَدْ سَأَلْتُكَ هَذَا فَأَبَيْتَ فَقَالَ لَهُ التَّاجِرُ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُكَ تُحَدِّثُنَا عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُولُ «مَنْ أَقْرَضَ اللَّهَ مَرَّتَيْنِ كَانَ لَهُ مِثْلُ أَجْرِ أَحَدِهِمَا لَوْ تَصَدَّقَ بِهِ»

✧ Al-Aswad b. Yazid used to borrow from a merchant, and when his stipend came out he would pay him back. Al-Aswad said, 'If you wish I will delay it on your behalf, for we have claims in this stipend.' The merchant said to him, 'You will not do that.' Then al-Aswad gave him five hundred dirhams in cash. When he received it, the merchant said to him, 'Here it is, take it.' Al-Aswad said to him, 'I asked you for this and you refused.' The merchant said, 'I heard you narrate to us from Abd Allah b. Mas'ud that the Prophet of Allah ﷺ used to say, "Whoever lends to Allah twice, he will have the like of the reward of one of them had he given it as charity."'
