عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الشَّرِيدِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيُّ الْوَاجِدِ ظُلْمٌ يُحِلُّ عِرْضَهُ وَعُقُوبَتَهُ قَالَ وَكِيعٌ عِرْضَهُ شَكَايَتَهُ وَعُقُوبَتَهُ حَبْسَهُ
Sayyiduna Shuraid (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The delaying of a rich man is oppression; this act makes his honor and punishment lawful. Imam Waki’ said: By dishonor is meant to complain about him, and by punishment is meant to imprison him.
