Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 10532 — Zakah on debts
١٠٥٣٢ - حدثنا أبو بكر (١) قال: حدثنا جرير عن منصور عن (الحكم) (٢) قال: سئل علي عن الرجل (يكون له الدين على الرجل) (٣). قال: يزكيه صاحب المال، فإن (توى) (٤) ما عليه وخشي أن (لا يقضي) (٥) (فإنه) (٦) يمهل، فإذا خرج أدى زكاة (ما مضى) (٧) (٨).
Al-Hakam said: Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked about a man who is owed a debt by another man (what is the ruling on zakah?). He said: The owner of the wealth will pay its zakah. If what is owed to him is in danger of being lost and he fears that it will not be repaid, he is given respite (in paying its zakah); when it comes out (and is recovered), he should pay the zakah for the period that has passed.
