`Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) heard the voices of altercation
of two disputants at the door; both the voices were quite loud. One was asking the other to make his debts little (so
that he could pay them) and was pleading with him to show leniency to him, whereupon the (other one) said: "By
Allah, I will not do that". Then there came Messenger of Allah (PBUH) to them and said,
"Where is he who swore
by Allah that he would not do good?''
He said: "O Messenger of Allah, it is me. Now he may do as he desires".
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
This Hadith highlights the following four main points:
1. It is desirable to help someone who is in straitened circumstances because of a debt. If the lender forgives a part
of the loan or gives concession of time in repayment of loan, it is an act of great merit. As Allah says:
"
And if the debtor is in a hard time (has no money), then grant him time till it is easy for him to repay; but if you
remit it by way of charity, that is better for you if you did but know
.'' (2:280)
2. If someone seems to incline towards evil, he should be scolded so that he would keep himself away from it and
would turn to virtue.
3. Such people who quarrel among themselves should not be left to mutual bickering but efforts should be made for
their reconciliation.
4. People who are quarrelling should also co-operate with those who make efforts for reconciliation, and respect
their spirit of goodwill.

Sahl bin Sa`d As-Sa`idi (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: There was some quarrel among the
members of Banu `Amr bin `Auf. Messenger of Allah (PBUH) went with some of his Companions to bring about
peace between them and he was detained. The time for Salat approached and Bilal (May Allah be pleased with
them) went to Abu Bakr (May Allah be pleased with him) and said to him: "Messenger of Allah (PBUH) has got
late and it is the time for Salat. Will you lead Salat?'' He said: "Yes, if you desire". Bilal (May Allah be pleased with
him) proclaimed the Adhan and then pronounced Iqamah. Abu Bakr (May Allah be pleased with him) stepped
forward and commenced As-Salat. (He recited Takbir and the people followed him). In the meantime, Messenger of
Allah (PBUH) arrived and, passing through the rows, took his stand in the first row. The people started clapping. It
was the habit of Abu Bakr (May Allah be pleased with him) that whenever he started praying, he would never look
