Bayhaqi 11279 — Imprisoning a debtor whose wealth is not apparent

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ بِشْرَانَ، أنبأ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمِصْرِيُّ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، ثنا الْفِرْيَابِيُّ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ وَبْرِ بْنِ أَبِي دُلَيْلَةَ، عَنْ فُلَانِ بْنِ فُلَانٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الشَّرِيدِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لِيُّ الْوَاجِدِ يُحِلُّ عِرْضَهُ وَعُقُوبَتَهُ" قَالَ سُفْيَانُ: يَعْنِي عِرْضَهُ، أَنْ يَقُولَ: ظَلَمَنِي فِي حَقِّي، وَعُقُوبَتُهُ يُسْجَنُ. فُلَانُ بْنُ فُلَانٍ هَذَا هُوَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَيْمُونِ بْنِ مُسَيْكَةَ.
Amr bin al-Sharid narrates from his father (Sayyiduna al-Sharid, may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When someone who has the means delays paying his debt, it becomes lawful (to speak against) his honour and to punish him." Sufyan (may Allah have mercy on him) said: His honour becoming lawful means that he (the creditor) may say: He has wronged me in my right; and punishment becoming permissible means that he may be imprisoned.
