Hadith 729
وعن أبي سعيد الخدري رضي الله عنه قال : أصيب رجل في عهد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم في ثمار ابتاعها فكثر دينه فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم : « تصدقوا عليه » فتصدق الناس عليه ولم يبلغ ذلك وفاء دينه فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم لغرمائه :« خذوا ما وجدتم وليس لكم إلا ذلك ». رواه مسلم.
Narrated Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (RA): In the time of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) a man suffered a loss affecting fruits he had bought, owed a large debt and became bankrupt. So, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to the people, "Give him Sadaqah (charity)." Hence, the people gave him charity. However, that was not enough to repay his debt in full. Therefore, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to the creditors, "Take whatever you find, and you will have nothing other than that." [Reported by Muslim].
