Jami' at-Tirmidhi 1309

Translation

That the Prophet ﷺ said: "Procrastination (in paying a debt) by a rich person is oppression. So if your debt is transfered from your debtor you should agree, and do not make two sales in one sale."

Notes

• [Abu 'Eisa said:] The Hadith is the Abu Hurairah (no. 1308) is a Hasan Sahih Hadith. And its meaning is that when the debt of one of you is transferred then agree. Some of the people of knowledge said when a man is offered to transfer his debt to a rich man and he does so, then the transferor is free of it, he is not to seek its return from the transferor. This is the view of Ash-Shafi'i, Ahmad, and Ishaq. Some of the people of knowledge said: "When this wealth could not be collected due to bankruptcy of the one it was transferred to, then he may seek its return to the first one." They argue this view with the saying of 'Uthman and others, when they said: "There is nothing due on a Muslim's wealth that is lost." Ishaq said: "The meaning of this Hadith: 'There is nothing due on a Muslim's wealth that is lost' this is when a man transfers it to another whom he thinks is wealthy, then he becomes bankrupt, so there is nothing due on the Muslim's wealth that is lost."

• Yaḥyá b. Maʿīn

  قال يحيى بن معين في حديث يونس بن عبيد عن نافع عن ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما مطل الغني ظلم قال يحيى قد سمعته عن هشيم ولم يسمعه يونس من نافع قال لنا ابن أبي داود قلت ليحيى لم يسمع يونس من نافع شيئا قال بلى ولكن هذا الحديث خاصة لم يسمعه يونس من نافع

  machine translationYaḥyā b. Maʿīn said regarding the ḥadīth of Yūnus b. ʿUbayd, from Nāfiʿ, from Ibn ʿUmar, may God be pleased with them both: "The delay of a wealthy man [in repaying a debt] is an injustice." Yaḥyā said: "I heard it from Hushaym, and Yūnus did not hear it from Nāfiʿ." Ibn Abī Dāwūd said to us: I said to Yaḥyā: "Did Yūnus not hear anything from Nāfiʿ?" He said: "Yes, he did, but this ḥadīth in particular Yūnus did not hear from Nāfiʿ." Report a problem
