What It Means: Reading in Context
This is the first clause of a narration that also discusses forgiveness and humility. Read those themes together at the source. The short excerpt should not be turned into a promise of a particular cash return, timetable or financial outcome. This entry comes from Sahih Muslim 2588. The displayed text is an excerpt, not the complete narration. Follow the source link to read the narrator, full wording and in-book reference together. A hadith number identifies the source used here; numbering systems can differ between editions. Being able to inspect a source is important when a short statement is shared outside its original setting. The accompanying reflection is an editorial prompt for everyday conduct. It is not part of the hadith and does not replace explanation from qualified scholarship. Avoid extending a short reminder into a religious ruling that the entry itself does not establish.
