باب مَطْلُ الْغَنِيِّ ظُلْمٌ

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Procrastination (delay) in repaying debts by a wealthy person is injustice.”

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ، أَخِي وَهْبِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ “‏ مَطْلُ الْغَنِيِّ ظُلْمٌ ‏”‏‏.‏
