Muwatta Imam Malik (Riwayat Yahya)
كتاب البيوعBook: On the Rulings of Buying and Selling
بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي إِفْلَاسِ الْغَرِيمِWhat is Reported Regarding the Bankruptcy of a Debtor
Hadith 1385B5
قَالَ مَالِكٌ : فَأَمَّا مَا بِيعَ مِنَ السِّلَعِ الَّتِي لَمْ يُحْدِثْ فِيهَا الْمُبْتَاعُ شَيْئًا، إِلَّا أَنَّ تِلْكَ السِّلْعَةَ نَفَقَتْ، وَارْتَفَعَ ثَمَنُهَا، فَصَاحِبُهَا يَرْغَبُ فِيهَا، وَالْغُرَمَاءُ يُرِيدُونَ إِمْسَاكَهَا، فَإِنَّ الْغُرَمَاءَ يُخَيَّرُونَ بَيْنَ أَنْ : يُعْطُوا رَبَّ السِّلْعَةِ الثَّمَنَ الَّذِي بَاعَهَا بِهِ، وَلَا يُنَقِّصُوهُ شَيْئًا، وَبَيْنَ أَنْ يُسَلِّمُوا إِلَيْهِ سِلْعَتَهُ، وَإِنْ كَانَتِ السِّلْعَةُ قَدْ نَقَصَ ثَمَنُهَا، فَالَّذِي بَاعَهَا بِالْخِيَارِ إِنْ شَاءَ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ سِلْعَتَهُ، وَلَا تِبَاعَةَ لَهُ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنْ مَالِ غَرِيمِهِ، فَذَلِكَ لَهُ. وَإِنْ شَاءَ أَنْ يَكُونَ غَرِيمًا مِنَ الْغُرَمَاءِ يُحَاصُّ بِحَقِّهِ، وَلَا يَأْخُذُ سِلْعَتَهُ فَذَلِكَ لَهُ. ¤
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that if the buyer has not made use of the item, but its price has increased, and now the seller wants to take back his item, while the creditors want that the item should not be given to the seller, then the creditors have the choice, even if they hand over the full price to the seller. If the price of the item has decreased, then the seller has the choice, whether he takes back his item—then he will have nothing to do with the buyer’s wealth—or he does not take back his item and becomes a partner with the creditors.
