Question

Please provide the reference for the following du’a:

أَوْفَيْتَنِي أَوْفَى اللهُ بِكَ

Awfaytani awfa Allahu bika

Answer

This du’a was recited by a Sahabi (radiyallahu ‘anhu) when Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) paid him his due.

(Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 2305)

The creditor is encouraged to recite this upon payment of the debt.
