“A Bedouin man came to the Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhiwa sallam, to ask for a debt that he loaned him, and he spoke harshly to him until he said: ‘I insist that you repay me!’ The Companions said to the Bedouin, ‘Woe to you, do you know who you are speaking to?’ He said: ‘I am seeking my right’, so the Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said (to his Companions): ‘Why don’t you support the person with the right (meaning the Bedouin)?’ He then sent to Khawlah bint Qays (a woman Companion) and said to her: ‘If you have any dates then loan them to us, until we receive our dates to repay you.’ She said: ‘Of course, may my father be sacrificed for you, O Messenger of Allah!’ So she loaned him the dates, and the Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, repaid the Bedouin man and gave him extra dates as well. The man said: ‘You have fulfilled (well), may Allah do the same to you.’ The Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: ‘They are the best of people. A nation in which a weak person cannot take his right without being harmed is not a pure nation.’”[1]
