“At the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, a man suffered loss of some fruit that he had purchase, and his debts increased. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Give him charity.' So the people gave him charity, but that was not enough to pay off his debts. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Take what you find, but you have no right to more than that, meaning his creditors.”  

أُصِيبَ رَجُلٌ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي ثِمَارٍ ابْتَاعَهَا فَكَثُرَ دَيْنُهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ تَصَدَّقُوا عَلَيْهِ فَتَصَدَّقَ النَّاسُ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَبْلُغْ ذَلِكَ وَفَاءَ دَيْنِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ خُذُوا مَا وَجَدْتُمْ وَلَيْسَ لَكُمْ إِلاَّ ذَلِكَ يَعْنِي الْغُرَمَاءَ  

the Messenger of Allah ﷺ rid Mu'adh bin Jabal of his creditors, then he appointed him governor of Yemen. Mu'adh said: “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ settled my debts with my creditors using what wealth I had, then he appointed me as governor.”  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَلَعَ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ مِنْ غُرَمَائِهِ ثُمَّ اسْتَعْمَلَهُ عَلَى الْيَمَنِ فَقَالَ مُعَاذٌ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ اسْتَخْلَصَنِي بِمَالِي ثُمَّ اسْتَعْمَلَنِي
