Narrated 'Aisha: Allah's Messenger ﷺ used to invoke Allah in the prayer saying, "O Allah, I seek refuge with you from all sins, and from being in debt". Someone said, O Allah's Messenger ﷺ! (I see you) very often you seek refuge with Allah from being in debt. He replied, "If a person is in debt, he tells lies when he speaks, and breaks his promises when he promises".
Sahih al-Bukhari 2397 (Book 43, Hadith 13)
QUICK LESSONS:
Pay off debts quickly; Be honest with your words; Keep your promises; Strive for financial responsibility.
EXPLANATIONS:
In this hadith, narrated by 'Aisha, Allah's Messenger is teaching us about the consequences of being in debt. He says that if someone is in debt, they will tell lies when they speak and break their promises when they make them. This teaches us to be careful with our finances and to avoid getting into debt as much as possible. It also reminds us to be honest with our words and keep our promises so we can stay away from the consequences of being in debt. We should strive to pay off any debts we have as soon as possible so that we can remain truthful and trustworthy people.
