Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ أَخْبَرَنَا عَطَاءُ بْنُ السَّائِبِ عَنِ ابْنِ أُذْنَانَ قَالَ أَسْلَفْتُ عَلْقَمَةَ أَلْفَيْ دِرْهَمٍ فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ عَطَاؤُهُ قُلْتُ لَهُ اقْضِنِي قَالَ أَخِّرْنِي إِلَى قَابِلٍ فَأَتَيْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَأَخَذْتُهَا قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ بَعْدُ قَالَ بَرَّحْتَ بِي قَدْ مَنَعْتَنِي فَقُل
ْتُ نَعَمْ هُوَ عَمَلُكَ قَالَ وَمَا شَأْنِي قُلْتُ إِنَّكَ حَدَّثْتَنِي عَنْ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّ السَّلَفَ يَجْرِي مَجْرَى شَطْرِ الصَّدَقَةِ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَهُوَ كَذَاكَ قَالَ فَخُذْ الْآنَ

English Translation
'Affan narrated to us, Hammad narrated to us, 'Ata' ibn al-Sa'ib informed us, from Ibn Udhnan who said: 'I lent 'Alqamah two thousand dirhams. When his stipend came, I said to him: Pay me back. He said: Delay it until next month's stipend. I said to him: I gave you a lengthy period, and now you want to give me a gift (as compensation for the delay)? He said: Yes, this is your right and my gift. Indeed, 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud رضي الله عنه narrated to us that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: No loan earns a benefit (i.e., it is forbidden to gain from a loan, as that constitutes riba).'
