Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 31037 — Book of the Judgments

Umar bin Khaldah al-Ansari said: We came to Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) concerning a friend of ours who had got caught in debt, meaning that he had become destitute and bankrupt. Abu Hurayrah said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ruled, concerning a person who has died or become bankrupt, that when the owner of the goods finds those very goods of his with him, he has more right to them, unless his companion (the debtor) has left enough to pay in full.
