Hadith.3690 - Sama'ah ibn Mihran narrated that he said: I said to Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, "A man among us has something with which he can sustain himself, but he is in debt. Should he feed his family with it until Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Exalted, provides him with ease so he can repay his debt, or should he borrow despite the difficulty of the times and the hardship of earning, or should he accept charity?" Imam عليه السلام said: "He should use what he has to repay his debt and should not consume people's wealth unless he has the means to repay them. Indeed, Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Exalted, says: 'And do not consume one another's wealth unjustly.'" (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:188)
