Brilio.net - Friends are indeed figures you can rely on in everyday life. Being the closest person makes anyone comfortable to tell stories or complain. In fact, it is not uncommon for fellow friends to often ask for help. If you can, your friends will definitely be happy to help.
For example, a friend who helps you complete your college assignments, helps you when your motorbike runs out of gas on the road in the middle of the night, or even helps you with your work. Anyway, how useful it is to have friends.
But there are times when you and your friends will separate, living your own lives. There are those who are still communicating intensively, but there are also those who no longer know each other's news. It's been so long since you haven't communicated that you and him seem to have forgotten each other.
But what happens if your old friend, who you haven't heard from for a long time, suddenly contacts you? Not just asking for news, your friend turns out to immediately want to borrow money from you. What do you think you will do?

However, it is known that the man who received his old friend's chat actually acted bravely. Instead of giving loan money, he instead replied to his friend's chat containing rejection.
"Bismillah must be firm," wrote the person in the post caption.
Not only did he refuse, he also wrote a detailed message that his old friend should ask the people closest to him for help first.
"My advice is that you should borrow from the closest people first: Family, relatives, neighbors, close friends, close friends, distant friends. If from numbers 1 to 5 you haven't gotten a loan, it means you have a problem in terms of muamalah with them," he wrote. .
He was surprised at why his friend suddenly contacted him and immediately wanted to borrow money. In fact, they had never asked each other before.

"Meanwhile, I haven't seen (you) for several years, I've never asked each other how things are, but suddenly now you're borrowing money. You know, bro, that debt is the sharpest breaker of ties," wrote the person in the reply chat.

"The point is, don't feel uncomfortable being a person, period," said the account @alnakbr.
"For me, yes, this is for me, for example if there is someone who is really urgent like that, because I have been in trouble and I know the position when it is difficult. For example, if he borrows Rp. 100 thousand, God willing, I will lend him, but I am ready for the Rp. 100 thousand. not returned. So my intention was only to help his troubles, and maybe through him, Allah admonished me to share with those in need," wrote the account @bheby_ydh0205.
"Where do you think this is coming from? Yes, the answer makes perfect sense to me. If even the people closest to you don't believe in you, then what about other people? So it's up to you to introspect yourself. At least if it's like this, you can also ask for a loan, so you can feel that "What would it feel like if you borrowed money from someone else but didn't return it," wrote the account @stefanushasbiputra.
"It's more like a complicated way to refuse. Just say: I'm sorry, bro, I don't have any money. Done. No need to type at length," wrote the account @rahmad_dani22.
