عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ أُصِيبَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي ثِمَارٍ ابْتَاعَهَا فَكَثُرَ دَيْنُهُ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَصَدَّقُوا عَلَيْهِ قَالَ فَتَصَدَّقَ النَّاسُ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَبْلُغْ ذَلِكَ وَفَاءَ دَيْنِهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ خُذُوا مَا وَجَدْتُمْ وَلَيْسَ لَكُمْ إِلَّا ذَلِكَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that during the blessed era of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), a man bought some fruit, but a calamity befell that fruit, due to which the man became heavily indebted. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Give charity to him." People gave charity, but the amount was less than his debt. Eventually, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the creditors: "Take whatever is being given to you, and apart from that, there is nothing more."
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The purpose of mentioning this blessed hadith is that when the wealth of an insolvent person is less than the debts he owes, it will still be necessary for him to hand over that wealth to his creditors.
