English Translation

Affan told us: Abd al-Warith told us: Muhammad ibn Juhadah told us, from Sulayman ibn Buraydah, from his father, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: Whoever gives a debtor in difficulty more time has, for every day, the reward of a charity equal to it. Then I heard him say: Whoever gives a debtor in difficulty more time has, for every day, the reward of a charity double it. I said: O Messenger of Allah, I heard you say, whoever gives a debtor in difficulty more time has, for every day, the reward of a charity equal to it, then I heard you say, the reward of a charity double it. He said: He has the reward of a charity for every day before the debt is due; but once the debt is due and he gives him more time, he has the reward of a charity double it for every day.
