Question:
Does the one who lends to people have a reward?
Answer:
He has a reward if he is lenient with them, if he grants a respite to the one in difficulty or waives the debt,[Al-Baqarah 2:280]. So if he grants respite to those in difficulty and is lenient with those who are unable to pay, he has a reward. Allah called it charity [Al-Baqarah 2:280].
