[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ once said, "Is there anyone amongst you from these two?" to which no one answered. He then repeated, "Is there anyone amongst you from these two?" A man said, "Yes, it is me, and a man from them has died." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "What prevented you from speaking where I spoke?" The man replied, "O Messenger of Allah, I thought that something had been revealed in my tribe, and I disliked being the one to bring it to them." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "No, indeed your friend is being detained by his debt."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ «أَفِيكُمْ أَحَدٌ مِنْ هُذَيْلٍ؟» فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ أَحَدٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَفِيكُمْ أَحَدٌ مِنْ هُذَيْلٍ؟» فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ أَنَا وَقَدْ مَاتَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تَكَلَّمَ حَيْثُ تَكَلَّمْتُ؟» قَالَ ظَنَنْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنَّهُ أُنْزِلَ فِي قَوْمِي شَيْءٌ فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ أَنَا الَّذِي آتِيَهُمْ بِهِ قَالَ «لَا إِنَّ صَاحِبَكُمْ مُحْتَبَسٌ بِدَيْنِهِ»
