If he pays you back great but money isn’t worth losing a friendship over.

Agreed that money isn't worth losing a friendship over, but in this scenario, it's not the OP that would be choosing to lose the friend so it really shouldn't apply to him.

That line should apply to the friend asking for money. If OP says no, money isn't worth losing a friendship over should be the line for the friend, not OP.
