23. Commercial Transactions
٢٣۔ كتاب البيوع
A man seized his debtor who owed ten dinars to him. He said to him: I swear by Allah, I shall not leave you until you pay off (my debt) to me or bring a surety. The Prophet ﷺ stood as a surety for him. He then brought as much (money) as he promised. The Prophet ﷺ asked: From where did you acquire this gold? He replied: From a mine. He said: We have no need of it; there is no good in it. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ paid (the debt) on his behalf.
وَاللَّهِ لاَ أُفَارِقُكَ حَتَّى تَقْضِيَنِي أَوْ تَأْتِيَنِي بِحَمِيلٍ فَتَحَمَّلَ بِهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَأَتَاهُ بِقَدْرِ مَا وَعَدَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِنْ أَيْنَ أَصَبْتَ هَذَا الذَّهَبَ قَالَ مِنْ مَعْدِنٍ قَالَ لاَ حَاجَةَ لَنَا فِيهَا وَلَيْسَ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ فَقَضَاهَا عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ
