43.14 If somebody lends something and the possessor gets bankrupt
٤٣۔١٤ باب إِذَا وَجَدَ مَالَهُ عِنْدَ مُفْلِسٍ فِي الْبَيْعِ وَالْقَرْضِ وَالْوَدِيعَةِ فَهْوَ أَحَقُّ بِهِ
[Machine] And Al-Hasan said: If a person becomes bankrupt and it becomes clear, his slaves cannot be freed, his goods cannot be sold, and his debts cannot be repaid. And Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib said: Uthman judged that whoever claims his right before becoming bankrupt, it belongs to him, and whoever recognizes his possessions with his own eyes, he has more right to them.
وَقَالَ الْحَسَنُ إِذَا أَفْلَسَ وَتَبَيَّنَ لَمْ يَجُزْ عِتْقُهُ، وَلاَ بَيْعُهُ وَلاَ شِرَاؤُهُ. وَقَالَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ قَضَى عُثْمَانُ مَنِ اقْتَضَى مِنْ حَقِّهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُفْلِسَ فَهْوَ لَهُ، وَمَنْ عَرَفَ مَتَاعَهُ بِعَيْنِهِ فَهْوَ أَحَقُّ بِهِ.
