Hadith 1427
It is narrated from Sa'id bin al-Musayyib that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "A pledge (rahn) shall not be withheld."
Hadith 1427B1
قَالَ مَالِك : وَتَفْسِيرُ ذَلِكَ فِيمَا نُرَى وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ : أَنْ يَرْهَنَ الرَّجُلُ الرَّهْنَ عِنْدَ الرَّجُلِ بِالشَّيْءِ وَفِي الرَّهْنِ فَضْلٌ عَمَّا رُهِنَ بِهِ، فَيَقُولُ الرَّاهِنُ لِلْمُرْتَهِنِ : إِنْ جِئْتُكَ بِحَقِّكَ إِلَى أَجَلٍ يُسَمِّيهِ لَهُ، وَإِلَّا فَالرَّهْنُ لَكَ بِمَا رُهِنَ فِيهِ، قَالَ : فَهَذَا لَا يَصْلُحُ وَلَا يَحِلُّ، وَهَذَا الَّذِي نُهِيَ عَنْهُ، وَإِنْ جَاءَ صَاحِبُهُ بِالَّذِي رَهَنَ بِهِ بَعْدَ الْأَجَلِ، فَهُوَ لَهُ، وَأُرَى هَذَا الشَّرْطَ مُنْفَسِخًا
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that its explanation is that a person mortgages goods worth one hundred rupees for seventy-five rupees, and says that if I do not redeem it within such a period, then this property will become yours. This is not correct. Even if this happens, when the mortgagor pays the mortgage money, the mortgagee will have to return the property, and the condition will become void.
