Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said this.

PAYMENT

FULFILL YOUR REPAYMENTS WELL

|H 1396

“A man came to the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon
him, and was harsh in demanding the repayment of his loan. The
Companions were about to take hold of him when the Messenger of
Allah said, „Leave him alone, because the person to whom an
obligation is due is entitled to make a demand.‟ Then he said, „Give
him a camel similar in age to the camel due to him.‟ He was
informed that there was only a better camel available than the one
due to the person. The Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be
upon him, told them, „Give him the better one because the best of
you are those who discharge their obligations well.‟"
