It is now my responsibility

Reference: al-Hilyah – Volume 3 / Page 141

‘Amr ibn Deenaar narrated that ‘Ali ibn al-Husayn entered upon Muhammed ibn Usaamah ibn Zayd whilst he was ill; He then began to cry. [‘Alee] asked him:

What is the matter with you (what makes you cry)?

He replied:

I [still] have a[n outstanding] loan.

[‘Alee] enquired:

How much is it?

He replied:

15,000 deenaars.

[‘Alee] said:

[In that case, the outstanding loan] is [now] my responsibility!
