The Prophet ﷺ said, "If I had gold equal to Mount Uhud, I would love that not three days pass while I still have a single Dinar of it left, except for something I set aside to repay a debt, provided I find someone who will accept it."
عن النبي ﷺ قال: لو كان عندي أحد ذهبا لأحببت أن لا يأتي ثلاث، وعندي منه دينار- ليس شيء أرصده في دين علي- أجد من يقبله.
Bukhari narrated it in "Wishing" (7228) from Ishaq bin Nasr, who said, Abdul-Razzaq narrated to us, from Mamar, from Hammam, who heard Abu Hurairah, from the Prophet ﷺ, and he related it. Muslim also included it in "Zakat" (991) through several chains from Abu Hurairah with similar wording. Bukhari also narrated it in "Borrowing" (2389) through Ubaydullah bin Abdullah bin Utba, from Abu Hurairah, with similar wording.His saying, "I am setting it aside," means "I am preparing it." Ibn Hajar said in Fath al-Bari (5/55), "This shows the importance of taking care to pay off debts."
