SURAH AL-BAQARAH: 280 Part 2

According to a Hadith in the Mu'jim of al-Tabarani, if a person wants to be under the shadow of divine mercy when there will be no other shadow for anyone to hide under, he should treat the poor borrower with lenience and deferment, or forgive him the debt.

It is said in a Hadith from Musnad of Ahmad that the person who gives relief to a poor borrower will get a daily thawab (reward) of sadaqah (charity) in proportion to the amount that borrower owes to him, and this relates to giving relief before the due date of returning the loan arrives. And if the borrower still doesn't have the means to pay after the deadline has arrived, then the thawab of giving relief and relaxation then will be equal to giving double the amount of the due loan in sadaqah every day.

Another Hadith says that if a person wishes that his prayers be answered, or his difficulties be lifted, then he should give relief and relaxation to the poor borrower.
