Narrated Suwayd ibn Qays: I and Makhrafah al-Abdi imported some garments from Hajar, and brought them to Makkah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us walking, and after he had bargained with us for some trousers, we sold them to him. There was a man who was weighing for payment. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: Weigh out and give overweight.

حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنِي سُوَيْدُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ "جَلَبْتُ أَنَا وَمَخْرَفَةُ الْعَبْدِيُّ بَزًّا مِنْ هَجَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَتَيْنَا بِهِ مَكَّةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَجَاءَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَمْشِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَسَاوَمَنَا بِسَرَاوِيلَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَبِعْنَاهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَثَمَّ رَجُلٌ يَزِنُ بِالْأَجْرِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ زِنْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَرْجِحْ".

The tradition mentioned above (No. 3330) has also been transmitted by Abu Safwan ibn Umayrah through a different chain of narrators. This version has: Abu Safwan said: I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at Makkah before his immigration. He then narrated the rest of the tradition, but he did not mention the words "who was weighing for payment". Abu Dawud sad: Qais also transmitted it as Sufyan said: The version of Sufyan is authoritative.

حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏الْمَعْنَى قَرِيبٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَا:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي صَفْوَانَ بْنِ عُمَيْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمَكَّةَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُهَاجِرَ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ:‏‏‏‏ يَزِنُ بِالْأَجْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ رَوَاهُ قَيْسٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏كَمَا قَالَ سُفْيَانُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالْقَوْلُ قَوْلُ سُفْيَانَ.

Narrated Ibn Abi Rizmah: I heard my father say: A man said to Shubah: Sufyan opposed you (i. e. narrated a tradition which differs from your version). He replied: You racked my mind. I have been told that Yahya bin Main said: If anyone opposes Sufyan, the version of Sufyan will be acceptable.

حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي رِزْمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏سَمِعْتُ أَبِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَجُلٌ لِشُعْبَةَ:‏‏‏‏ خَالَفَكَ سُفْيَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ دَمَغْتَنِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَبَلَغَنِي عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ مَعِينٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كُلُّ مَنْ خَالَفَ سُفْيَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَالْقَوْلُ قَوْلُ سُفْيَانَ.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar: The Prophet ﷺ said: (The standard) weight is the weight of the people of Makkah, and the (standard) measure is the measure of the people of Madina. Abu Dawud said: Al-Firyabi and Abu Ahmad have also transmitted from Sufyan in a similar way, and he (Ibn Dukain) agreed with them on the text. The version of Abu Ahmad has: "from Ibn Abbas" instead of Ibn Umar. It has also been transmitted by al-Walid bin Muslim from Hanzalah. This version has: "the weight of Madina and the measure of Makkah. " Abu Dawud said: There is a variation in the text of the version of this tradition narrated by Malik bin Dinar from Ata from the Prophet ﷺ.

حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ دُكَيْنٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ حَنْظَلَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ طَاوُسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ "الْوَزْنُ وَزْنُ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالْمِكْيَالُ مِكْيَالُ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ"، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ وَكَذَا رَوَاهُ الْفِرْيَابِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَبُو أَحْمَدَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَافَقَهُمَا فِي الْمَتْنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وقَالَ أَبُو أَحْمَدَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏مَكَانَ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَرَوَاهُ الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ حَنْظَلَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَزْنُ الْمَدِينَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمِكْيَالُ مَكَّةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ وَاخْتُلِفَ فِي الْمَتْنِ فِي حَدِيثِ مَالِكِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فِي هَذَا.

Narrated Samurah: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ addressed us and said: Is here any one of such and such tribe present? But no one replied. He again asked: Is here any one of such and such tribe present? But no one replied. He again asked: Is here any one of such and such tribe? Then a man stood and said: I am (here), Messenger of Allah. He said: What prevented you from replying the first two times? I wish to tell you something good. Your companion has been detained (from entering Paradise) on account of his debt. Then I saw him that he paid off all his debt on his behalf and there remained no one to demand from him anything. Abu Dawud said: The name of the narrator Sam'an is Sam'an bin Mushannaj.

حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ مَسْرُوقٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَمْعَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَمُرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ "خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ "هَاهُنَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ بَنِي فُلَانٍ ؟ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ أَحَدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ هَاهُنَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ بَنِي فُلَانٍ ؟ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ أَحَدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ هَاهُنَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ بَنِي فُلَانٍ ؟ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تُجِيبَنِي فِي الْمَرَّتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ ؟ أَمَا إِنِّي لَمْ أُنَوِّهْ بِكُمْ إِلَّا خَيْرًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِنَّ صَاحِبَكُمْ مَأْسُورٌ بِدَيْنِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ أَدَّى عَنْهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَتَّى مَا بَقِيَ أَحَدٌ يَطْلُبُهُ بِشَيْءٍ"، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ سَمْعَانُ بْنُ مُشَنِّجٍ.

Narrated Abu Musa al-Ashari: The Prophet ﷺ said: After the grave sins which Allah has prohibited the greatest sin is that a man dies while he has debt due from him and does not leave anything to pay it off, and meets Him with it.

حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْمَهْرِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْقُرَشِيَّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا بُرْدَةَ بْنَ أَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيَّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّهُ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ "إِنَّ أَعْظَمَ الذُّنُوبِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنْ يَلْقَاهُ بِهَا عَبْدٌ بَعْدَ الْكَبَائِرِ الَّتِي نَهَى اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنْ يَمُوتَ رَجُلٌ وَعَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏لَا يَدَعُ لَهُ قَضَاءً".

Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would not say funeral prayer over a person who died while the debt was due from him. A dead Muslim was brought to him and he asked: Is there any debt due from him? They (the people) said: Yes, two dirhams. He said: Pray yourselves over your companion. Then Abu Qatadah al-Ansari said: I shall pay them, Messenger of Allah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then prayed over him. When Allah granted conquests to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he said: I am nearer to every believer than himself, so if anyone (dies and) leaves a debt, I shall be responsible for paying it; and if anyone leaves property, it goes to his heirs.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُتَوَكِّلِ الْعَسْقَلَانِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ جَابِرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ "كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يُصَلِّي عَلَى رَجُلٍ مَاتَ وَعَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأُتِيَ بِمَيِّتٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَعَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ ؟، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ نَعَمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏دِينَارَانِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ صَلُّوا عَلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ:‏‏‏‏ هُمَا عَلَيَّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمَّا فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَنَا أَوْلَى بِكُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَمَنْ تَرَكَ دَيْنًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَعَلَيَّ قَضَاؤُهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمَنْ تَرَكَ مَالًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلِوَرَثَتِهِ"،‏‏‏‏

A similar tradition has also been transmitted by Ibn Abbas though a different chain of narrators. This version says: "He (the Prophet) purchased a calf from a caravan, but he had no money with him. He then sold it with some profit and gave the profit in charity to the poor and widows of Banu Abd al-Muttalib. He then said: I shall not buy anything after this but only when I have money with me.

Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: Delay in payment (of debt) by a rich man is injunctive, but when one of you is referred to a wealthy man, he should accept the reference.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَالِكٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ:‏‏‏‏ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ "مَطْلُ الْغَنِيِّ ظُلْمٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِذَا أُتْبِعَ أَحَدُكُمْ عَلَى مَلِيءٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلْيَتْبَعْ".

Narrated Abu Rafi: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ borrowed a young camel, and when the camels of the sadaqah (alms) came to him, he ordered me to pay the man his young camel. I said: I find only an excellent camel in its seventh year. So the Prophet ﷺ said: Give it to him, for the best person is he who discharges his debt in the best manner.
