2430. It was narrated that Qais bin Rumi said: "Sulaimân bin Udhunân lent 'Alqamah one thousand Dirham until he got his salary. When he got his salary, he demanded that he pay him back and treated him harshly. He paid him back, and it was as if 'Alqamah was angry. Several months passed, then he came to him and said: 'Lend me one thousand Dirham until my salary comes.' He said: 'Yes, it would be an honor. O Umm 'Utbah! Bring me that sealed leather bag that you have.' He said: 'By Allâh, these are your Dirham that you paid back to me; I did not touch a single Dirham.' What made you do what you did to me (i.e., treat me so harshly)?" He said: 'What I heard from you.' He said: 'What did you hear from me?' He said: 'I heard you narrated from Ibn Mas'ud that the Prophet ﷺ said: "There is no Muslim who lends something to another Muslim twice, but it will be like giving charity once."
He said: "That is what Ibn Mas'ud told me." (Sahih)

Commentary
A reward is in store for lending to a person that is well off, but to lend a poor man and give him extra time for repayment is a cause of increase in reward. (See Chapter 14, Ahâdîth 2417 to 2420)
