Pay the labourer his wages even before his sweat dries up. HADLTH OF IBN MAJAH ON THE AUTHORITY OF ‘ABDULLAH IBN ‘UMAR. 126 There was a man who used to give loans to poor people. When his assistant had to go to them to recover the loans, he would urge him to be forgiving to those who were not able to pay back his loans with ease, believing that, in that way, perhaps God would show him forgiveness. When that man came face to face with the Almighty, He forgave him. HADITH OF AL-BUKHARI AND MUSLIM
