Qutaybah ibn Sa'id narrated to us, from Layth, from Bukayr, from 'Iyad ibn 'Abdullah, from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, who said: A man suffered a loss during the time of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, in fruits he had purchased, and his debt became great. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Give charity to him." So the people gave charity to him, but it did not reach the amount of his debt. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, then said to his creditors: "Take what you find, and you have nothing but that."
