If one lends to his Muslim brother, it is for his own (good). Every Dirham that he lends will qualify him for a reward equivalent to Mount Ohud (which is in Mecca) and Mount Sinai. And if he is lenient in collecting his debt he shall cross the bridge of Sirat like a stroke of lightning. And if a Muslim brother relates his woes before a person and this person does not lend him any money, the Heaven shall be denied to him on the Day of recompensing good doers

Some people would be sitting on the chairs of light under the shade of the Divine Throne having bright faces and wearing illuminated dresses. People will wonder, 'Are they prophets?' A caller would say, 'No'. People will ask, 'Are they martyrs?' The caller would reply, 'They are not martyrs. They used to remain lenient with the believers and used to give time to debtors to repay loans and used to ask them to repay the loan whenever they are capable of it'.

The narrator told Imam Ja'far Sadiq (a.s.), "Abdur Rahman bin Siyabah had taken some money from a person and he died without repaying it. We asked that man to write off the loan but he did not accept." Imam (a.s.) replied, "Pity on that man. Didn't he know that had he forgiven it, he would have got ten rewards for each dirham and now he will get a dirham only for each dirham?"
