EXOD719 One should be aware not to subject the borrower to any indignity, Heaven forbid, but lend to him cheerfully. (See above, chapter 9, where we have explained the matter thoroughly.) He should consider himself. Suppose he wanted to obtain a favor from his neighbor. How ardently would he wish his neighbor to receive him graciously. He should act the same way towards his neighbor. So Rashi has commented on [this verse]: "If you lend money to My people, to the poor that is with you, you shall not treat him disrespectfully when lending him money, since he is "My people." "The poor that is with you"--look at yourself as if you were the poor man.
