Narrated Abu Huraira The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "A man from Bani Israel asked someone from Bani Israel to give him a loan of one thousand Dinars and the later gave it to him.

Abu Huraira (رضی اللہ عنہ) bataate hain: Nabi ne farmaya: "Bani Israel ke ek shaks ne doosre Bani Israel se hazaar Dinar ka qarz maanga aur usne de diya. Qarzdaar ek safar par gaya (jab qarz wapas karne ka waqt aaya) magar usse koi kashti nahi mili, isliye usne ek lakdi ka tukda lekar usme surakh kiya aur usme hazaar Dinar rakhkar samundar mein phenk diya. Qarz dene wala bahar gaya aur us lakdi ke tukde ko apne ghar leke gaya jalane ke liye." Aur Nabi ne yeh kahani (aage) bayan ki (aur kaha): "Jab usne lakdi kaati, usne apna paisa paaya."
