قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) الدَّيْنُ ثَلَاثَةٌ رَجُلٌ كَانَ لَهُ فَأَنْظَرَ وَ إِذَا كَانَ عَلَيْهِ فَأَعْطَى وَ لَمْ يَمْطُلْ فَذَاكَ لَهُ وَ لَا عَلَيْهِ وَ رَجُلٌ إِذَا كَانَ لَهُ اسْتَوْفَى وَ إِذَا كَانَ عَلَيْهِ أَوْفَى فَذَاكَ لَا لَهُ وَ لَا عَلَيْهِ وَ رَجُلٌ إِذَا كَانَ لَهُ اسْتَوْفَى وَ إِذَا كَانَ عَلَيْهِ مَطَلَ فَذَاكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ لَا لَهُ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from his father, from Khalaf Bin Hammad, from Muhraz, from Abu Baseer, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘The debts are three – A man has (a debt) for him, so he repites, and when it was against him, so he gives it and does not overlook it, so that is for him and not against him; and a man when there was (a debt) for him he wants it fulfilled, and when it was against him so he fulfils it, so that is neither for him nor against him; and a man when there was (a debt) for him so he wants it fulfilled, and when it was against him he overlooks it, so that is against him and is not for him’.
