بَاب تَحْرِيمِ مَطْلِ الْغَنِيِّ وَصِحَّةِ الْحَوَالَةِ وَاسْتِحْبَابِ قَبُولِهَا إِذَا أُحِيلَ عَلَى مَلِيٍّ
Sahih Muslim 1564 a
Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying
Delay (in the payment of debt) on the part of a rich man is injustice, and when one of you is retired to a rich man, he should follow him.حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، . أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " مَطْلُ الْغَنِيِّ ظُلْمٌ وَإِذَا أُتْبِعَ أَحَدُكُمْ عَلَى مَلِيءٍ فَلْيَتْبَعْ " .
