Is it permissible to give more to the one who lent money, as an act of kindness?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Is it permissible to give more to the one who lent money, as an act of kindness?

Answer:
Yes, as a form of good repayment, provided he did not stipulate it by saying, "I will not lend to you unless you pay more." That would be riba (usury or interest). But if you lent a good loan and then you want to repay it generously by giving more, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did this, and he said, "The best of you are those who are best in their repayment." Yes.
