[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
