حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضى الله عنه

أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلٌ يَتَقَاضَاهُ فَأَغْلَظَ لَهُ فَهَمَّ بِهِ أَصْحَابُهُ. فَقَالَ: «دَعُوهُ فَإِنَّ لِصَاحِبِ الْحَقِّ مَقَالاً»

A man came to the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and demanded his debts and used harsh words. The companions of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) wanted to harm him, but the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “Leave him, as the creditor (owner of the right) has the right to speak.”

আবূ হুরাইরাহ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম -এর কাছে এক লোক (ঋণ পরিশোধের) তাগাদা দিতে আসল এবং কড়া কথা বলল। সাহাবীগণ তাকে শাস্তি দিতে উদ্যত হলে নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বললেন, তাকে ছেড়ে দাও। হাক্বদারের (কড়া) কথা বলার অধিকার আছে। (২৩০৫)

ہم سے مسدد نے بیان کیا، ان سے یحییٰ نے بیان کیا، ان سے شعبہ نے، ان سے سلمہ نے، ان سے ابوسلمہ نے اور ان سے ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ نے کہ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی خدمت میں ایک شخص قرض مانگنے اور سخت تقاضا کرنے لگا۔ صحابہ رضی اللہ عنہم نے اس کی گوشمالی کرنی چاہی تو نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ اسے چھوڑ دو، حقدار ایسی باتیں کہہ سکتا ہے۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Musaddad] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Yahya] dari [Syu'bah] dari [Salamah] dari [Abu Salamah] dari [Abu Hurairah radliallahu 'anhu]: Ada seorang laki-laki datang menemui Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam untuk menagih apa yang dijanjikan kepadanya. Maka para sahabat marah kepadanya. Maka Beliau shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Biarkanlah saja dia, karena orang yang benar berhak memperoleh tempat untuk menyampaikan kebenarannya

Ebu. Hureyre şöyle anlatır: Birgün Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem'e bir adam, alacağını talep etmek üzere geldi. Bu sırada biraz sert davrandı. Sahabiler adamı uyarmak için yönelince Nebiimiz Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem, "Onu bırakın, hak sahibinin, hakkını dile getirme hakkı vardır" buyurdu

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) had borrowed a young camel from a man, so the man came to him demanding the repayment of this debt. The man made his demand in a very rude manner that vexed the Companions of the Prophet to the extent that they wanted to hit him because of his rudeness and harshness with the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him).

However, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: Let him say whatever he wants and do not harm him in any way, for the one who has a right is entitled to demand his debtor to repay his debt and the like, yet he has to do so within the limits of courtesy. As for cursing, slandering, and insulting, they are not among the manners of the Muslims.

Then the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) ordered some of the Companions to give the man a camel of the same age as his. They came back and said: We only found a camel that is older than his (and, thus, of more value).

So he said: Give him a camel that is older than his camel, for indeed the best of you in dealing with people and the best in terms of reward are those who fulfill their obligations in the best of ways, whether it is the settlement of a debt or otherwise.
