Hadith 3027a

English

Abu Sa‘id (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: A man during the time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) suffered a loss in fruits he had purchased, and his debts increased. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Give charity to him.” So people gave charity to him, but it did not suffice to pay off his debt. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to his creditors: “Take what you find, and you have nothing beyond that.”

Note 1

From Abu Sa‘id

(1) The statement: “From Abu Sa‘id”: This hadith was mentioned recently in the chapter on prohibited sales.

Note 2

In fruits he purchased

(2) The statement: “In fruits he purchased”: This indicates that if the fruits are damaged, the buyer is responsible for them. This was discussed in detail in the chapter on prohibited sales, so refer to it.

Note 3

And you have nothing beyond that

(3) The statement: “And you have nothing beyond that”: Meaning, you take what you find, and the implication is that you have nothing beyond taking what you find and deferring the remaining debt until a time of ease. It does not mean that you take only what you find, and the remaining debt is void, due to the saying of Allah, the Exalted: And if someone is in hardship, then [let there be] postponement until [a time of] ease (Al-Baqarah: 280). This was stated in Al-Marqah.

قوله

(۳) قوله: وليس لكم إلا ذلك : أي ما وجدتم والمعنى ليس لكم إلا أخذ ما وجدتم والإمهال بمطالبة الباقي إلى الميسرة، وليس معناه أنه ليس لكم إلا ما وجدتم، وبطل ما بقي من ديونكم لقوله تعالى: ﴿وَإِن كَانَ ذُو عُسْرَةٍ فَنَظِرَةٌ إِلَى مَيْسَرَة (البقرة: ۲۸۰). قاله في «المرقاة».

Note 1

ف: اس حدیث شریف سے یہ بھی معلوم ہوتا ہے کہ تنگ حال کو مہلت دینا واجب ہے اور مسلم معاشرہ پر ایسے شخص کی امداد واجب ہے اور مہلت سے قرض کی ادائی ساقط نہیں ہوتی بلکہ آئندہ خوشحالی پر دیندار کو چاہئے کہ اپنا قرض واپس کر دے اور قرض دہندہ کو بھی اپنی بقیہ رقم لینے کا حق رہتا ہے۔ مرقات
