((بارَكَ اللَّهُ لَكَ فِي أَهْلِكَ وَمَالِكَ، إِنَّمَا جَزَاءُ السَّلَفِ الْحَمْدُ وَالأَدَاءُ)).
(Barakal-lahu laka fee ahlika wamalik, innama jaza-os-salafil-hamdu wal-ada'.)
(May Allah bless for you, your family and wealth. Surely commendation and payment are the reward for a loan.)

The first sentence asks for blessing on three things belonging to the lender — the person, the family, the wealth — widening in scope as it goes. The second sentence stops addressing anyone and states a general principle instead: commendation and payment are what a loan earns in return. The supplication therefore supplies both halves of that repayment, the words and the money, and names them together.
These words are recorded by Nasa'i, said when the loan is handed back.
Blessing is asked for wealth that lending has just diminished. What the second sentence calls reward includes the very commendation being spoken in the first.
