The man said, "You have paid me in full, and may Allah pay you in full." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The best amongst you is he who pays his debts in the most handsome manner

Abu Huraira (رضی اللہ عنہ) bataate hain: Nabi par kisi ka ek khaas umr ka unt qarz tha, jo use wapas maangne aaya. Nabi ne apne sahaba ko ise dene ka hukum diya. Unhone usi umr ka unt dhoonda magar unhe koi nahi mila siwaye ek unt ke jo ek saal bada tha. Nabi ne unhe use de dene ko kaha. Shaks ne kaha: "Aapne mujhe poora ada kiya, aur Allah aapko poora ada kare." Nabi ne kaha: "Tum mein sabse behtar woh hai jo apna qarz sabse behtareen tareeke se chukata hai."
