أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ، ثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ، قَرَأْتُ عَلَى الْفُضَيْلِ أَبِي مُعَاذٍ، عَنْ أَبِي حَرِيزٍ، أَنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَهُ:
أَنَّ الْأَسْوَدَ بْنَ يَزِيدَ كَانَ يَسْتَقْرِضُ مِنْ مَوْلًى لِلنَّخَعِ تَاجِرٍ، فَإِذَا خَرَجَ عَطَاؤُهُ قَضَاهُ، وَأَنَّهُ خَرَجَ عَطَاؤُهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ الْأَسْوَدُ: إِنْ شِئْتَ أَخَّرْتَ عَنَّا، فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ عَلَيْنَا حُقُوقٌ فِي هَذَا الْعَطَاءِ ؟ فَقَالَ التَّاجِرُ: إِنِّي لَسْتُ فَاعِلًا، فَنَقَدَهُ الْأَسْوَدُ خَمْسَمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ، حَتَّى إِذَا قَبَضَهَا التَّاجِرُ، قَالَ لَهُ: دُونَكَ، فَخُذْهَا. قَالَ الْأَسْوَدُ: قَدْ سَأَلْتُكَ هَذَا فَأَبَيْتَ ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ التَّاجِرُ: إِنِّي سَمِعْتُكَ تُحَدِّثُنَا، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ؓ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُولُ: مَنْ أَقْرَضَ مَرَّتَيْنِ، كَانَ لَهُ مِثْلُ أَجْرِ أَحَدِهِمَا لَوْ تَصَدَّقَ بِهِ

✧ Al-Aswad b. Yazid used to borrow from a client of al-Nakha', a merchant, and when his stipend came he would pay him back. When his stipend came he said to him: 'If you wish, postpone it for us, for we have obligations in this stipend.' The merchant said: 'I will not do that.' So al-Aswad paid him five hundred dirhams, until when the merchant took them he said to him: 'Take it; here you are.' Al-Aswad said: 'I asked you this and you refused?' The merchant said to him: 'I heard you narrate to us from 'Abd Allah b. Mas'ud ؓ that the Prophet ﷺ used to say: Whoever lends twice, he will have the like of the reward of one of them as if he had given it in charity.'
