Hadith 2401
اُردوEn
وَيُذْكَرُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيُّ الْوَاجِدِ يُحِلُّ عُقُوبَتَهُ وَعِرْضَهُ ، قَالَ سُفْيَانُ : عِرْضُهُ يَقُولُ مَطَلْتَنِي وَعُقُوبَتُهُ الْحَبْسُ .
'And it is narrated from the Prophet (ﷺ) that (delaying repayment of a debt) despite having the ability (to pay) is a wrongdoing, and it makes his punishment and his honor lawful. Sufyan said that making his honor lawful means that the creditor may say, "You are only procrastinating," and his punishment is imprisonment.'
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلٌ يَتَقَاضَاهُ ، فَأَغْلَظَ لَهُ فَهَمَّ بِهِ أَصْحَابُهُ ، فَقَالَ : " دَعُوهُ ، فَإِنَّ لِصَاحِبِ الْحَقِّ مَقَالًا " .
Narrated Abu Huraira: A man came to the Prophet and demanded his debts and used harsh words. The companions of the Prophet wanted to harm him, but the Prophet said, "Leave him, as the creditor (owner of the right) has the right to speak."

Hadith Commentary:
(1)
From this hadith, one can gauge how much Islam has instilled a sense of responsibility regarding the rights of people (huquq al-‘ibad).
(2)
From other narrations, it is understood that the aforementioned creditor had come to demand his due even before the appointed time. Despite this, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) not only tolerated his harsh manner and stern words, but also granted legal protection to his severe behavior.
This is a unique quality of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam): upon hearing such things, he would say that whoever has a right is also entitled to speak up. If it were someone like us, at such a moment we would roll up our sleeves and respond to a brick with a stone.

«أخرجه أبوداود، القضاء، باب في الدين هل يحبس به، حديث:3628، والنسائي، البيوع، حديث:4693، 4694، والبخاري، الاستقراض، قبل حديث:2401، وابن حبان (الموارد)، حديث:1164.»©
Explanation:
According to this hadith, if a wealthy and affluent person, merely due to his own miserliness, resorts to excuses, procrastination, and delay in the repayment of a debt, while he is in a position to easily pay it back, then the creditor is permitted to verbally disgrace him and is also authorized to have him punished through the court.
The majority of scholars have declared that a person who procrastinates in the repayment of an amount or value equivalent to only ten dirhams is considered a fasiq (open sinner) and his testimony is to be rejected (mardud al-shahadah).

«حضرت عمرو» Abu al-Walid Amr ibn Shurayd (with a fatha on the "sheen" and a kasrah under the "ra") ibn Suwayd.
He was from the tribe of Thaqif in Ta’if, hence he was called Thaqafi Ta’ifi.
He was a trustworthy tabi‘i (successor) and belonged to the third generation.
«حضرت شرید رضی اللہ عنہ » Shurayd ibn Suwayd al-Thaqafi.
His name was Malik.
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam named him Shurayd.
He was given this name because he had killed a member of his own tribe and had come to Makkah, after which he accepted Islam.
(Talqih by Ibn al-Jawzi) It is also said that he was from Hadramawt and counted among the tribe of Thaqif.
And another opinion is that he was counted among the people of Ta’if.
