Muwatta Malik #1432
Business Transactions
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
" مَطْلُ الْغَنِيِّ ظُلْمٌ وَإِذَا أُتْبِعَ أَحَدُكُمْ عَلَى مَلِيءٍ فَلْيَتْبَعْ " .
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'z-Zinad from al Araj from
Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, "Delay in payment by a rich man is injustice, but
when one of you is referred for payment to a wealthy man, let him be
referred."
