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  

[Machine] Narrated to us Al-Qanabi, narrated to us Abdul Aziz bin Muhammad, from Amr bin Abi Amr, from Ikrima, from Ibn Abbas, that a man had a dispute with his opponent over ten silver coins. The man said to him, "By Allah, I do not currently have the means to pay you today." The opponent said, "By Allah, I will not leave you until you settle the debt or bring someone who will pay on your behalf." The man said, "By Allah, I do not have the means to settle the debt, nor can I find anyone to pay on my behalf." He then brought the case to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, this man is insisting and I have given him a one-month extension, but he refuses to wait until I can settle the debt or find someone to pay on my behalf." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "Do you expect him to wait for only one month?" The man replied, "No." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then I will bear this debt on your behalf." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ took responsibility for the debt and the man went and brought the agreed amount. The Prophet ﷺ asked him, "Where did you get this gold from?" The man replied, "From a mine." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Go, we have no need for it as it does not contain any goodness." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ settled the debt on behalf of the man.  

حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرٍو عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ رَجُلًا لَزِمَ غَرِيمًا لَهُ بِعَشَرَةِ دَنَانِيرَ فَقَالَ لَهُ وَاللَّهِ مَا عِنْدِي قَضَاءٌ أَقْضِيكَهُ الْيَوْمَ قَالَ فَوَاللَّهِ لَا أُفَارِقُكَ حَتَّى تَقْضِيَ أَوْ تَأْتِيَ بِحَمِيلٍ يَحْمِلُ عَنْكَ قَالَ وَاللَّهِ مَا عِنْدِي قَضَاءٌ وَمَا أَجِدُ أَحَدًا يَحْمِلُ عَنِّي قَالَ فَجَرَّهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا لَازِمِي وَاسْتَنْظَرْتُهُ شَهْرًا وَاحِدًا فَأَبَى حَتَّى أَقْضِيَهُ أَوْ آتِيَهُ بِحَمِيلٍ فَقُلْتُ وَاللَّهِ مَا أَجِدُ حَمِيلًا وَلَا عِنْدِي قَضَاءٌ الْيَوْمَ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «هَلْ تَسْتَنْظِرُهُ إِلَّا شَهْرًا وَاحِدًا؟» قَالَ لَا قَالَ «فَأَنَا أَتَحَمَّلُ بِهَا عَنْكَ» قَالَ فَتَحَمَّلَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْهُ فَذَهَبَ الرَّجُلُ فَأَتَى بِقَدْرِ مَا وَعَدَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ أَيْنَ أَصَبْتَ هَذَا الذَّهَبَ؟ قَالَ مِنْ مَعْدِنٍ قَالَ «فَاذْهَبْ فَلَا حَاجَةَ لَنَا فِيهَا لَيْسَ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ» قَالَ فَقَضَاهَا عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ  

[Machine] Al-Qa'nabi narrated that Abdul Aziz ibn Muhammad narrated from Amr ibn Abi Amr ibn Umar that Ikrima narrated from Ibn Abbas that a man owed his adversary ten dinars. The man said, "By Allah, I have no money to pay you today." The adversary replied, "By Allah, I will not leave you until you pay me or bring someone who will pay on your behalf." The man said, "By Allah, I have no one to borrow from and I cannot find anyone to pay for me." He then took him to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, this man owes me and I have been patient with him for a month, but he refuses to pay or bring someone to pay on his behalf." The man said, "By Allah, I cannot find anyone to pay for me and I have no money to pay today." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "Have you been waiting for him for only a month?" The man replied, "Yes." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Then I will pay on his behalf." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ fulfilled the debt for him, and when the man returned with the amount he owed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "Where did you get this gold from?" The man replied, "From a mine." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Go, we have no need for it, and it contains no goodness." Thus, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ settled the debt for him.
