بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي إِفْلَاسِ الْغَرِيمِWhat is Reported Regarding the Bankruptcy of a Debtor
Hadith 1385B1
قَالَ مَالِكٌ : فِي رَجُلٍ بَاعَ مِنْ رَجُلٍ مَتَاعًا فَأَفْلَسَ الْمُبْتَاعُ، فَإِنَّ الْبَائِعَ إِذَا وَجَدَ شَيْئًا مِنْ مَتَاعِهِ بِعَيْنِهِ أَخَذَهُ، وَإِنْ كَانَ الْمُشْتَرِي قَدْ بَاعَ بَعْضَهُ، وَفَرَّقَهُ فَصَاحِبُ الْمَتَاعِ أَحَقُّ بِهِ مِنَ الْغُرَمَاءِ، لَا يَمْنَعُهُ مَا فَرَّقَ الْمُبْتَاعُ مِنْهُ، أَنْ يَأْخُذَ مَا وَجَدَ بِعَيْنِهِ، فَإِنِ اقْتَضَى مِنْ ثَمَنِ الْمُبْتَاعِ شَيْئًا فَأَحَبَّ أَنْ يَرُدَّهُ وَيَقْبِضَ مَا وَجَدَ مِنْ مَتَاعِهِ، وَيَكُونَ فِيمَا لَمْ يَجِدْ أُسْوَةَ الْغُرَمَاءِ فَذَلِكَ لَهُ. ¤
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that if a person sold some goods, then the buyer became insolvent and the seller found his goods exactly as they were with the buyer, then the seller may take them back. If the buyer has sold some of them, then the seller has more right to whatever remains than the other creditors. If the seller has received a small part of the price, then if the seller wishes to return that amount and take back whatever of his goods remain, and whatever is left after that is shared equally among the other creditors, then that is permissible.
