Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبِيدَةُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ هِنْدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ حُذَيْفَةَ، - هُوَ عِمْرَانُ - عَنْ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، مَيْمُونَةَ قَالَ كَانَتْ تَدَّانُ دَيْنًا فَقَالَ لَهَا بَعْضُ أَهْلِهَا لاَ تَفْعَلِي وَأَنْكَرَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهَا قَالَتْ بَلَى إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ نَبِيِّي وَخَلِيلِي صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَدَّانُ دَيْنًا يَعْلَمُ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ أَنَّهُ يُرِيدُ أَدَاءَهُ إِلاَّ أَدَّاهُ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.

Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us: Ubaydah ibn Humayd narrated to us, from Mansur, from Ziyad ibn Amr ibn Hind, from Ibn Hudhayfah—that is, Imran—from the Mother of the Believers Maymunah. She used to incur debts, and some of her family told her not to do so and reproached her for it. She said, “No! I heard my Prophet and beloved ﷺ say: If a Muslim incurs a debt and Allah knows that he intends to repay it, Allah will repay it on his behalf in this world.”

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
  • The Arabic parenthetical identifies Ibn Hudhayfah as Imran, and that editorial clarification is preserved. The promise is conditional on the debtor intending repayment, as explicitly stated.
