When someone insisted on giving extra money as a gift after I helped them

A friend asked for financial help and promised to return the money along with a bonus as a gift. I mentioned, "Assalamu Alaikum, I can lend it, but please keep the extra amount because I want to avoid anything resembling riba." They responded that it wasn't riba, just a kindness for assisting them. I politely declined again. Still, when they repaid, they included the extra sum despite my refusal. Any thoughts on what I should do? JazakAllah Khair.

You tried. It was a gift, not riba. Maybe accept it this time but be firm next time.

That's tough. Your intention was sincere, and that's what matters most.

Just pay it forward. Help someone else with it.

They meant well but you were clear. Donate the extra to charity, keep your intentions pure.
