Hawzah News Agency- Shaikh al-Saduq narrated from his father (may Allah be pleased with him), who narrated from Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Attar, from Muhammad ibn Ahmad, from Abu Abdillah al-Razi, from Mansur ibn al-Abbas, from al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Yaqtin, from Amr, from Khalaf ibn Hammad, from Muhriz, from Abu Basir, from Imam Sadiq (pbuh), who said that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh and his family) said:
الدَّیْنُ عَلَی ثَلَاثَهِ وُجُوهٍ رَجُلٍ إِذَا کَانَ لَهُ فَأَنْظَرَ وَ إِذَا کَانَ عَلَیْهِ أَعْطَی وَ لَمْ یُمَاطِلْ فَذَلِکَ لَهُ وَ لَا عَلَیْهِ وَ رَجُلٍ إِذَا کَانَ لَهُ اسْتَوْفَی وَ إِنْ کَانَ عَلَیْهِ أَوْفَی فَذَلِکَ لَا لَهُ وَ لَا عَلَیْهِ وَ رَجُلٍ إِذَا کَانَ لَهُ اسْتَوْفَی وَ إِذَا کَانَ عَلَیْهِ مَطَلَ فَذَلِکَ عَلَیْهِ وَ لَا لَهُ.
Debt (and financial dealing) is of three types:
A man who, when a debt is owed to him, grants an extension, and when he owes a debt, pays it back promptly without delaying—this works in his (the one who deals with him) favor and not against him.
A man who, when a debt is owed to him, demands it in full and on time, and when he owes a debt, pays it back in full and on time—this works neither for him nor against him (it is even).
And a man who, when a debt is owed to him, demands it in full, but when he owes a debt, delays and procrastinates—this works against him and not in his favor.
Al-Khisal,Book 3,Hadith 29
