Commentary
In the Qur'ān it has been commanded to Muslims to be gentle and kind with a debtor who is in difficulty. It is better to forgive his debt. Sūrat Al-Baqarah Verse no. 280 says "If the debtor is in a difficulty grant him time till it is easy for him to repay, but if you remit by way of charity that is the best for you, if you know." In this narration the reward of a virtuous deed has been mentioned. On the Day of Judgement, which will be a very hard day, and when there will be no shade at all except the Shade of Allāh, doers of virtuous deeds will get a place under this Shade.
