"عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ دِلافٍ أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ جُهَيْنَةَ كَانَ يَشْتَرِى الرَّوَاحِلَ فَيُغَالِى بِهَا، ثُمَّ يُسْرعُ السَّيْرَ فَيَسْبِقُ الْحَاجَّ، فأفْلسَ، فَرُفِعَ أَمْرُهُ إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ فَقَالَ: أَمَّا بَعْدُ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ: فَإِنَّ الأُسَيْفِعَ أُسَيْفِعَ جُهَيْنَةَ رَضِىَ مِنْ دِينِهِ وَأَمَانَتِهِ أَنْ يُقَالَ: سَبَقَ الْحاجَّ، إِلا إِنَّهُ قَدِ ادَّانَ مُعْرِضًا فَأَصْبَحَ وَقَدْ رِينَ بِه، فَمَنْ كَانَ لَهُ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ فَلْيَأتِنَا بِالْغَدَاةِ نَقْسِمُ مَالَهُ بَيْنَ غُرَمَائِهِ بِالْحِصَصِ، وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالدَّيْنَ؛ فإن أوله همٌّ وآخره حرب".

"From 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Dulaf that a man from Juhaynah used to buy riding camels and overprice them, then hasten the journey and overtake the pilgrims. He became bankrupt, so his matter was referred to 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, who said: 'To proceed, O people: al-Usayfi', the Usayfi' of Juhaynah, was content with his religion and trustworthiness being said of him, 'He overtook the pilgrims.' Indeed he incurred debt recklessly, and in the morning he was found to be in debt. Whoever has a debt owed to him by him, let him come to us in the morning, and we will divide his property among his creditors proportionally. Beware of debt, for its beginning is worry and its end is war.'"
