Malik related to me from Humayd ibn Qays al-Makki that Mujahidsaid, "Abdullah ibn Umar borrowed some dirhams from a man, then hedischarged his debt with dirhams better than them. The man said, 'AbuAbdar-Rahman. These are better than the dirhams which I lent you.'Abdullah ibn Umar said, 'I know that. But I am happy with myself aboutthat.' " Malik said, "There is no harm in a person who hasborrowed gold, silver, food, or animals, taking to the person who lentit, something better than what he lent, when that is not a stipulationbetween them nor a custom. If that is by a stipulation or promise orcustom, then it is disapproved, and there is no good in it." He said, "That is because the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless himand grant him peace, discharged his debt with a good camel in itsseventh year in place of a young camel which he borrowed, and Abdullahibn Umar borrowed some dirhams, and repaid them with better ones. Ifthat is from the goodness of the borrower, and it is not by astipulation, promise, or custom, it is halal and there is no harm init." Translation Not Available

And Malik related to me that he had heard that a man came toAbdullah ibn Umar and said, "Abu Abd ar-Rahman, I gave a man a loanand stipulated that he give me better than what I lent him." Abdullahibn Umar said, "That is usury." Abdullah said, "Loans are of threetypes: A free loan which you lend by which you desire the pleasure ofAllah, and so you have the pleasure of Allah. A free loan which youlend by which you desire the pleasure of your companion, so you havethe pleasure of your companion, and a free loan which you lend bywhich you take what is impure by what is pure, and that is usury." Hesaid, "What do you order me to do, Abu Abd ar-Rahman?" He said, "Ithink that you should tear up the agreement. If he gives you the likeof what you lent him, accept it. If he gives you less than what youlent him, take it and you will be rewarded. If he gives you betterthan what you lent him, of his own good will, that is his gratitude toyou and you have the wage of the period you gave him the loan." Translation Not Available

Malik related to me that he had heard that Abdullah ibn Masudused to say, "If someone makes a loan, they should not stipulatebetter than it. Even if it is a handful of grass, it is usury." Malik said, "The generally agreed on way of doing things among usis that there is no harm in borrowing any animals with a setdescription and itemisation, and one must return the like of them.This is not done in the case of female slaves. It is feared about thatthat it will lead to making halal what is not halal, so it is notgood. The explanation of what is disapproved of in that, is that a manborrow a slave-girl and have intercourse with her as seems proper tohim. Then he returns her to her owner. That is not good and it is nothalal. The people of knowledge still forbid it and do not give anindulgence to any one in it." Translation Not Available
