Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 22201 — Imprisonment for debt
٢٢٢٠١ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا زيد بن حباب و (عبيد اللَّه) (١) عن أبي هلال عن غالب القطان عن أبي (المهزم) (٢) أن رجلًا أتى أبا هريرة في غريم له فقال: (احبسه) (٣) قال: قال أبو هريرة: هل تعلم له (عينًا) (٤) فآخذه به؟ قال: لا، قال: فهل تعلم له عقارًا أكسره؟ قال: لا، قال: فما تريد؟ قال: أحبسه، (قال) (٥): لا، ولكني أدعه يطلب لك ولنفسه ولعياله (٦).
It is narrated from Abu al-Muhazzim (may Allah have mercy on him) that a man brought his debtor to Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: Have him imprisoned. Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Do you know whether he has property on hand which I might take from him and give to you? He said: No. He (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: Do you know whether he owns any real estate that I might break up (and sell)? He said: No. He asked: Then what do you want? He said: Have him imprisoned. He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: No; rather, I will leave him so that he may earn a living for you, for himself and for his family.
