حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الدَّارَوَرْدِيُّ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرٍو ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا لَزِمَ غَرِيمًا لَهُ بِعَشَرَةِ دَنَانِيرَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : مَا عِنْدِي شَيْءٌ أُعْطِيكَهُ ، فَقَالَ : لَا وَاللَّهِ لَا أُفَارِقُكَ حَتَّى تَقْضِيَنِي أَوْ تَأْتِيَنِي بِحَمِيلٍ فَجَرَّهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " كَمْ تَسْتَنْظِرُهُ ؟ " ، فَقَالَ : شَهْرًا ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " فَأَنَا أَحْمِلُ لَهُ " ، فَجَاءَهُ فِي الْوَقْتِ الَّذِي قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مِنْ أَيْنَ أَصَبْتَ هَذَا " قَالَ : مِنْ مَعْدِنٍ . قَالَ : " لَا خَيْرَ فِيهَا " وَقَضَاهَا عَنْهُ " .
´It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas:` That during the time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), a man pursued a debtor who owed him ten Dinar, and he said: “I do not have anything to give you.” He (the creditor) said: “No, by Allah, I will not leave you until you pay the debt or you bring me a guarantor.” Then he dragged him to the Prophet (ﷺ) and the Prophet (ﷺ) said to him: “How long will you wait?” He said: “One month.” The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “I will be a guarantor for him.” Then he came to him at the time the Prophet (ﷺ) had said, and the Prophet (ﷺ) said to him: “Where did you get this from?” He said: “From a mine.” He said: “There is nothing good in it,” and he paid the debt for him.

Benefits and Issues:
➊
Extracting wealth from mines with the permission of the Islamic government and according to the prescribed legal (shar‘i) conditions is permissible.
➋
The person who had obtained gold from the mine—his method of acquisition was unclear. Therefore, a definite judgment could not be made as to whether he was its lawful owner or not; for this reason, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) did not accept it from him.
➌
When a debtor is not repaying a debt, it is permissible to persistently demand repayment.
➍
Helping a Muslim debtor by becoming his guarantor or surety is a great act of kindness and virtue.
