Bayhaqi 11392 — A right becomes binding by guarantee
قَالَ اللهُ تَعَالَى {قَالُوا نَفْقِدُ صُوَاعَ الْمَلِكِ وَلِمَنْ جَاءَ بِهِ حِمْلُ بَعِيرٍ وَأَنَا بِهِ زَعِيمٌ} [يوسف: 72]، وَقَالَ {سَلْهُمْ أَيُّهُمْ بِذَلِكَ زَعِيمٌ} [القلم: 40].
Allah Almighty says: "They said: We are missing the measuring bowl of the king, and for whoever brings it there is a camel's load (of grain as a reward), and I am its guarantor." [Surah Yusuf: 72]
And He said: "Ask them which of them is a guarantor for that (claim)." [Surah al-Qalam: 40]
And He said: "Ask them which of them is a guarantor for that (claim)." [Surah al-Qalam: 40]
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدَانَ، أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الصَّفَّارُ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ، ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ شُرَحْبِيلَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " الزَّعِيمُ غَارِمٌ " قَالَ الْمُزَنِيُّ: وَالزَّعِيمُ فِي اللُّغَةِ هُوَ الْكَفِيلُ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ: وَرُوِّينَاهُ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنِ السُّدِّيِّ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one who gives a guarantee is liable for its payment." Imam al-Muzani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Al-za'im" in the language means "al-kafil" (the surety).
