اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي أُوَيْسٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي أَخِي ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الرِّجَالِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، أَنَّأُمَّهُ عَمْرَةَ بِنْتَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، قَالَتْ : سَمِعْتُ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا ، تَقُولُ " سَمِعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَوْتَ خُصُومٍ بِالْبَابِ عَالِيَةٍ أَصْوَاتُهُمَا ، وَإِذَا أَحَدُهُمَا يَسْتَوْضِعُ الْآخَرَ وَيَسْتَرْفِقُهُ فِي شَيْءٍ ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ : وَاللَّهِ لَا أَفْعَلُ ، فَخَرَجَ عَلَيْهِمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : أَيْنَ الْمُتَأَلِّي عَلَى اللَّهِ لَا يَفْعَلُ الْمَعْرُوفَ ؟ فَقَالَ : أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، وَلَهُ أَيُّ ذَلِكَ أَحَبَّ " .
Narrated Aisha: Once Allah's Apostle heard the loud voices of some opponents quarreling at the door. One of them was appealing to the other to deduct his debt and asking him to be lenient but the other was saying, "By Allah I will not do so." Allah's Apostle went out to them and said, "Who is the one who was swearing by Allah that he would not do a favor?" That man said, "I am that person, O Allah's Apostle! I will give my opponent whatever he wishes."

Hadith Commentary:
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) instructed reconciliation between both parties, and from this the objective of the chapter is established.
Hafiz (rahimahullah) said: The names of those people are not known.
The translation of the chapter is derived from the fact that you (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) asked about the person who was swearing not to speak kindly.
It is as if you considered his action to be wrong and indicated towards reconciliation.
He understood, and as soon as you inquired, he himself said: “Whatever my debtor wishes, I accept.”
This person, out of respect and reverence for the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), immediately, upon receiving your indication, announced a reduction in the debtor’s debt.
It is better for a person to bear some personal loss out of respect for elders.

Hadith Commentary:
(1)
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) inquired:
“Where is the one who swore an oath not to speak a good word?” It is as if he (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) considered this action to be blameworthy and advised reconciliation.
He understood your (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) indication and, of his own accord, said:
Whatever my debtor wishes, I accept.
(2)
The purpose of Imam Bukhari (rahimahullah) is to show that a judge may order a decision that is in the best interest of both parties, even if it results in a delay in the fulfillment of someone’s right, provided that it does not cause significant harm.
If the second party is not agreeable, then the judge should order the debtor to pay the full right. Thus, the person involved in the incident, out of respect and reverence for the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), upon perceiving his indication, announced a reduction in the debtor’s debt.
