The Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, remembered those who had done him favors and would repay them for those favors
Jubayr ibn Mut`im (a Companion) reported that the Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said about the captives of the Battle of Badr: “Had Al-Mut`im ibn `Adiyy been alive, and interceded with me on the behalf of these putrid individuals, I would have given them to him.”
This was to repay his good conduct towards the Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, when he accepted him into his protection after returning from At-Taa’if to Makkah.
He, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, repaid Safwaan ibn Umayyah:
The Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, borrowed some coats of mail from him, and after the Battle of Hunayn he repaid him and compensated him.
Safwaan ibn Umayyah reported that the Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, borrowed chainmail armor from him during the Battle of Hunayn, and he said: “Are you usurping this, O Muhammad?” The Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, responded: “No, rather, it is a loan that I guarantee to pay back.”
Safwaan said
“Some of it was lost,” so the Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, wanted to repay him for them, but he said: “O Messenger of Allah, today, I seek to enter Islam.”
Then the Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, paid him back on the day of Hunayn
