Aisha reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, heard the loud voices of two men arguing at the door. One of them was asking the other to lessen his debt and show leniency. The man said, “By Allah, I will not do so!” The Prophet came out, saying, “Where is the one who swore by Allah that he would not do good?” The man said, “It was me, O Messenger of Allah. He may now have what he likes.”

عن عَائِشَة قالت سَمِعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَوْتَ خُصُومٍ بِالْبَابِ عَالِيَةٍ أَصْوَاتُهُمَا وَإِذَا أَحَدُهُمَا يَسْتَوْضِعُ الْآخَرَ وَيَسْتَرْفِقُهُ فِي شَيْءٍ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ وَاللَّهِ لَا أَفْعَلُ فَخَرَجَ عَلَيْهِمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ أَيْنَ الْمُتَأَلِّي عَلَى اللَّهِ لَا يَفْعَلُ الْمَعْرُوفَ فَقَالَ أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَلَهُ أَيُّ ذَلِكَ أَحَبَّ
