Hadith 2626
اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى: أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرِ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُمَرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ يُحَدِّثُ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا بَكْرِ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "مَنْ أَدْرَكَ مَالَهُ بِعَيْنِهِ عِنْدَ إِنْسَانٍ قَدْ أَفْلَسَ أَوْ عِنْدَ رَجُلٍ قَدْ أَفْلَسَ فَهُوَ أَحَقُّ بِهِ مِنْ غَيْرِهِ".
Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) reports: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If a person finds his property with someone who has been declared bankrupt, then the owner of the property has more right to it than others."
Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Hadith 2625)
When a person buys something from someone, or takes a loan, and before making payment he becomes bankrupt and destitute, and that item is found with him exactly as it was, then the original owner has the greatest right to it, and the other creditors have no right to it. However, if that item has changed—for example, if he bought gold and made it into jewelry—then all the creditors have equal right to it.
This is the position of Imam Bukhari and Imam Shafi'i rahimahumullah, but the Hanafis have said the opposite, which is not correct.
