Hadith.4026 - Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Hajjaj asked him about a man who borrows a dirham and repays it with a mithqal (a weight of gold), or borrows a mithqal and repays it with a dirham.
Imam (as) said: "If it was not stipulated as a condition, then there is no harm. This is considered a favor."
Imam (as) further said: "My father (as) used to borrow inferior dirhams and then, from his earnings, would return better-quality ones. He (as) would say, 'O my son (as), return these to the one from whom we (as) borrowed.'
I said: 'O my father (as), his dirhams were inferior, and these are of better quality.'
Imam (as) replied: 'O my son (as), this is a favor, so give them to him.'"
