حديث عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: سَمِعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَوْتَ خُصُومٍ بِالْبَابِ عَالِيَةٍ أَصْوَاتُهُمَا، وَإِذَا أَحَدُهُمَا يَسْتَوْضِعُ الآخَرَ وَيَسْتَرْفِقُهُ فِي شيْءٍ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: وَاللهِ لَا أَفْعَلُ فَخَرَجَ عَلَيْهِمَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: أَيْنَ الْمُتَأَلِّي عَلَى اللهِ لَا يَفْعَلُ الْمَعْرُوفَ فَقَالَ: أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَلَهُ أَيُّ ذَلِكَ أَحَبَّ.
A'isha Narrated from:
Once Allâh's Messenger heard the loud voices of some opponents quarrelling at the door. One of them was appealing to the other to deduct his debt and asking him to be lenient but the other was saying, "By Allâh, I will not do so." Allâh's Messenger ﷺ went out to them and said, "Who is the one who was swearing by Allâh that he would not do a favour?" That man said, "I am that person, O Allâh's Messenger! I will give my opponent whatever he wishes." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 868, Vol. 3 )
