And from a man from Halwan who said, ‘I was performing Tawaaf of the House (Kabah) and a man from our companions came over to me, and asked me for a loan of two Dinars, and I had already circled five circuits (out of seven)’. So I said to him, ‘Let me complete my seven then I shall come out’. So when I entered into the sixth, Abu Abdullah-asws leant over to me and placed his-asws hand upon my shoulder’. So, I completed my seventh entering into the last, with Abu Abdullah-asws leaning upon me-asws, and it was so that every time I came over to the corner, the man gestured to me.
Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘Who was this one gesturing to you?’ I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! This is a man from your-asws friends. He asked me for a loan of two Dinars. I said, ‘Let me complete my seven and come out to you’. So Abu Abdullah-asws nodded me and said: ‘Go, and give it to him!’ So I thought he-asws said to give the two (Dinars) to him due to my word which I had given to him.
So when it was the morning, I went over to him-asws, and in his-asws presence were a number of our companions, discussing with them. So when he-asws saw me, he-asws cut off the discussion and said: ‘If I-asws were to walk with a brother of mine regarding a need until I fulfil it for him, it would be more beloved to me-asws than if I-asws were to free a thousand persons, and load upon a thousand horses in the Way of Allah-azwj, saddled, reined’
