Hadith Page	Arabic Text	English Translation	Book and Chapter
SahihAlBukhari-017-001-4098		Narrated Jabir Bin Abdullah AlAnsari: My father was martyred on the day of the Ghazwa of Uhud and left six daughters and some debts to be paid. When the time of plucking the date-fruits came; I went to Allah Messenger ﷺ and said; O Allah Apostle! you know that my father was martyred on Uhud day and owed much debt; and I wish that the creditors would see you. The Prophet ﷺ said; Go and collect the various kinds of dates and place them separately in heaps I did accordingly and called him. On seeing him; the creditors started claiming their rights pressingly at that time. When the Prophet ﷺ saw how they behaved; he went round the biggest heap for three times and sat over it and said; Call your companions i.e. the creditors. Then he kept on measuring and giving them; till Allah cleared all my father debts. By Allah; it would have pleased me that Allah would clear the debts of my father even though I had not taken a single date to my sisters. But by Allah; all the heaps were complete; as they were and I looked at the heap where Allah Messenger ﷺ was sitting and noticed as if not a single date had been taken thereof.

SahihAlBukhari-017-001-4787		Narrated Jabir Bin Abdullah: My father was martyred on the day of the battle of Uhud and his creditors demanded the debt back in a harsh manner. So I went to Allah Messenger ﷺ and informed him of that; he asked them to accept the fruits of my garden and excuse my father; but they refused. So; Allah Messenger ﷺ did not give them the fruits; nor did he cut them and distribute them among them; but said; I will come to you tomorrow morning. So; he came to us the next morning and walked about in between the date-palms and invoked Allah to bless their fruits. I plucked the fruits and gave back all the rights of the creditors in full; and a lot of fruits were left for us. Then I went to Allah Messenger ﷺ ; who was sitting; and informed him about what happened. Allah Messenger ﷺ told Umar; who was sitting there; to listen to the story. Umar said; Dont we know that you are Allah Messenger ﷺ ? By Allah! you are Allah Messenger ﷺ !

SahihAlBukhari-017-001-4852		Narrated Jabir Bin Abdullah: My father was martyred on the day of the battle of Uhud; and he was in debt. His creditors demanded their rights persistently. I went to the Prophet and informed him about it. He told them to take the fruits of my garden and exempt my father from the debts but they refused to do so. So; the Prophet did not give them my garden and told me that he would come to me the next morning. He came to us early in the morning and wandered among the date-palms and invoked Allah to bless their fruits. I then plucked the dates and paid the creditors; and there remained some of the dates for us.

SahihAlBukhari-017-001-4884		Narrated Jabir Bin Abdullah: My father died and was in debt. I suggested that his creditors take the fruits i.e. dates of my garden in lieu of the debt of my father; but they refused the offer; as they thought that it would not cover the full debt. So; I went to the Prophet ﷺ and told him about it. He said to me ; When you pluck the dates and collect them in the Mirbad i.e. a place where dates are dried ; call me Allah Messenger ﷺ. Finally he came accompanied by Abu Bakr and Umar and sat on the dates and invoked Allah to bless them. Then he said; Call your creditors and give them their full rights. So; I paid all my father creditors in full and yet thirteen extra Wasqs of dates remained; seven of which were Ajwa and six were Laun or six of which were Ajwa and seven were Laun. I met Allah Messenger ﷺ at sunset and informed him about it. On that he smiled and said; Go to Abu Bakr and Umar and tell them about it. They said; We perceived that was going to happen; as Allah Messenger ﷺ did what he did.

SahihAlBukhari-017-001-5401		Narrated Jabir: Abdullah Bin Amr Bin Haram died and was in debt to others. I asked the Prophet ﷺ to intercede with his creditors for some reduction in the debts. The Prophet ﷺ requested them to reduce the debts but they refused. The Prophet ﷺ said to me; Go and put your dates In heaps according to their different kinds. The Ajwa on one side; the cluster of Ibn Zaid on another side; etc.. Then call me. I did that and called the Prophet ﷺ He came and sat at the head or in the middle of the heaps and ordered me. Measure the dates for the people creditors. I measured for them till I paid all the debts. My dates remained as it nothing had been taken from them. In other narrations; Jabir said; The Prophet ﷺ said; He i.e. Abdullah continued measuring for them till he paid all the debts. The Prophet ﷺ said to Abdullah ; Cut clusters for him i.e. one of the creditors and measure for him fully.

SahihAlBukhari-017-001-6403		Narrated Jabir Bin Abdullah: That his father was martyred on the day of the battle of Uhud and was in debt and left six orphan daughters. Jabir; added; When the season of plucking the dates came; I went to Allah Messenger ﷺ and said; You know that my father was martyred on the day of Uhud; and he was heavily in debt; and I would like that the creditors should see you. The Prophet ﷺ said; Go and pile every kind of dates apart. I did so and called him i.e. the Prophet ﷺ. When the creditors saw him; they started claiming their debts from me then in such a harsh manner as they had never done before. So when he saw their attitude; he went round the biggest heap of dates thrice; and then sat over it and said; O Jabir ; call your companions i.e. the creditors. Then he kept on measuring and giving to the creditors their due till Allah paid all the debt of my father. I would have been satisfied to retain nothing of those dates for my sisters after Allah had paid the debts of my father. But Allah saved all the heaps of dates ; so that when I looked at the heap where the Prophet ﷺ had been sitting; it seemed as if a single date had not been taken away thereof.

SunanAlNasai-017-001-14332		Jabir Bin Abdullah narrated that his father was martyred on the Day of Uhud; and he left behind six daughters; and some outstanding debts. When the time to pick the dates came; I went to the Messenger of Allah and said: You know that my father was martyred on the Day of Uhud and he left behind a great deal of debt. I would like the creditors to see you. He said: Go and pile up the dates in separate heaps. I did that; then I called him. When they saw him; it was as if they started to put pressure on me at that time. When he saw what they were doing; he went around the biggest heap three times; then he sat on it then said: Call your companions the creditors. Then he kept on weighing them out for them; until Allah cleared all my father debts. I am pleased that Allah cleared my father debts without even a single date being missed.

My father has died owing debts; and he has not left anything but what his date-palms produce. What his date-palms produce will not pay off his debts for years. Come with me; O Messenger of Allah; so that the creditors will not be harsh with me. The Messenger of Allah went to each heap; saying Salams and supplicating for it; then sitting on it. He called the creditors and paid them off; and what was left was as much as what they had taken.

So I went to Abu Bakr and Umar and told them about that; and they said: We knew; when the Messenger of Allah did what he did; that this would happen.

SunanAbuDawoud-017-001-28767		A similar tradition to the No. 3513 has been transmitted by Abu Huraira from the Prophet ﷺ. This version has: If he paid something from its price; then he will be equal to the creditors in the remaining price. If a man dies and he has the very property of a man i.e. seller ; he is equal to the creditors whether he the buyer pays him the price or not.Abu Dawud said: Malik version of this tradition is sounder.

In Muwata Malik

Hadith Page	Arabic Text	English Translation	Book and Chapter
MuwataMalik-017-001-34931		Yahya said that he heard Malik say; The way of doing things generally agreed upon in our community in the case of a man who dies and has sons and one of them claims; My father confirmed that so-and- so was his son; is that the relationship is not established by the testimony of one man; and the confirmation of the one who confirmed it is only permitted as regards his own share in the division of his father property. The one testified for is only given his due from the share of the testifier. Malik said; An example of this is that a man dies leaving two sons; and 600 dinars. Each of them takes 300 dinars. Then one of them testifies that his deceased father confirmed that so-and-so was his son. The one who testifies is obliged to give 100 dinars to the one thus connected. This is half of the inheritance of the one thought to be related; had he been related. If the other confirms him; he takes the other 100 and so he completes his right and his relationship is established. His position is similar to that of a woman who confirms a debt against her father or her husband and the other heirs deny it. She must pay to the person whose debt she confirms; the amount according to her share of the full debt; had it been confirmed against all the heirs. If the woman inherits an eighth; she pays the creditor an eighth of his debt. If a daughter inherits a half; she pays the creditor half of his debt. Whichever women confirm him; pay him according to this. Malik said; If a man testimony is in agreement with what the woman testified to; that so- and-so had a debt against his father; the creditor is made to take an oath with one witness and he is given all his due. This is not the position with women because a man testimony is allowed and the creditor must take an oath with the testimony of his witness; and take all his due. If he does not take an oath; he only takes from the inheritance of the one who confirmed him according to his share of the debt; because he confirmed his right and the other heirs denied it. It is permitted for him to confirm it.

MuwataMalik-017-001-34949		Yahya said that he heard Malik say; What is done in our community about a man who refers a creditor to another man for the debt he owes him is that if the one referred to goes bankrupt or dies; and does not leave enough to pay the debt; then the creditor has nothing against the one who referred him and the debt does not return to the first party. Malik said; This is the way of doing things about which there is no dispute in our community. Malik said; If a man has his debt to somebody taken on for him by another man and then the man who took it on dies or goes bankrupt; then whatever was taken on by him returns to the first debtor.

MuwataMalik-017-001-35087		Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that Muhammad Seereen used to say; Do not sell grain on the ears until it is white. Malik said; If someone buys food for a known price to be delivered at a stated date; and when the date comes; the one who owes the food says; I do not have any food; sell me the food which I owe you with delayed terms. The owner of the food says; This is not good; because the Messenger of Allah; may Allah bless him and grant him peace; forbade selling food until the deal was completed. The one who owes the food says to his creditor; Sell me any kind of food on delayed terms until I discharge the debt to you. This is not good because he gives him food and then he returns it to him. The gold which he gave him becomes the price of that which is his right against him and the food which he gave him becomes what clears what is between them. If they do that; it becomes the sale of food before the deal is complete. Malik spoke about a man who was owed food which he had purchased from a man and this man was owed the like of that food by another man. The one who owed the food said to his creditor; I will refer you to my debtor who owes me the same amount of food as I owe you; so that you may obtain the food which I owe you. Malik said; If the man who had to deliver the food; had gone out; and bought the food to pay off his creditor; that is not good. That is selling food before taking possession of it. If the food is an advance which falls due at that particular time; there is no harm in paying off his creditor with it because that is nota sale. It is not halal to sell food before receiving it in full since the Messenger of Allah; may Allah bless him and grant him peace; forbade that. However; the people of knowledge agree that there is no harm in partnership; transfer of responsibility and revocation in sales of food and other goods. Malik said; That is because the people of knowledge consider it as a favour rendered. They do not consider it as a sale. It is like a man lending light dirhams. He is then paid back in dirhams of full weight; and so gets back more than he lent. That is halal for him and permitted. Had a man bought defective dirhams from him as being the full weight; that would not be halal. Had it been stipulated to him that he lend full weight in dirhams; and then he gave faulty ones; that would not be halal for him.

MuwataMalik-017-001-35116		Malik related to me that Zayd Ibn Aslam said; Usury in the Aljahiliya was that a man would give a loan to a man for a set term. When the term was due; he would say; Will you pay it off or increase me? If the man paid; he took it. If not; he increased him in his debt and lengthened the term for him. Malik said; The disapproved of way of doing things about which there is no dispute among us; is that a man should give a loan to a man for a term; and then the demander reduce it and the one from whom it is demanded pay it in advance. To us that is like someone who delays repaying his debt after it is due to his creditor and his creditor increases his debt. Malik said; This is nothing else but usury. No doubt about it. Malik spoke about a man who loaned one hundred dinars to a man for two terms. When it was due; the person who owed the debt said to him; Sell me some goods; whose price is one hundred dinars in cash for one hundred and fifty on credit. Malik said; This transaction is not good; and the people of knowledge still forbid it. Malik said; This is disapproved of because the creditor himself gives the debtor the price of what the man sells him; and he defers repayment of the hundred of the first transaction for the debtor for the term which is mentioned to him in the second transaction; and the debtor increases him with fifty dinars for his deferring him. That is disapproved of and it is not good. It also resembles the hadith of Zayd Ibn Aslam about the transactions of the people of the Aljahiliya. When their debts were due; they said to the person with the debt; Either you pay in full or you increase it. If they paid; they took it; and if not they increased debtors in their debts; and extended the term for them.

MuwataMalik-017-001-35121		Malik related to me from Yahya Ibn Said from Abu Bakr Ibn Muhammad Ibn Amr Ibn Hazm from Umar Ibn Abdal-Aziz from Abu Bakr Ibn Abdulrahman Ibn AlHarith Ibn Hisham from Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah; may Allah bless him and grant him peace; said; If anyone goes bankrupt; and a man finds his own property intact with him; he is more entitled to it than anyone else. Malik spoke about a man who sold a man wares; and the buyer went bankrupt. He said; The seller takes whatever of his goods he finds. If the buyer has sold some of them and distributed them; the seller of the wares is more entitled to them than the creditors. What the buyer has distributed does not prevent the seller from taking whatever of it he finds. It is the seller right if he has received any of the price from the buyer and he wants to return it to take what he finds of his wares; and in what he does not find; he is like the creditors. Malik spoke about some one who bought spun wool or a plot of land; and then did some work on it; like building a house on the plot of land or weaving the spun wool into cloth. Then he went bankrupt after he had bought it; and the original owner of the plot said; I will take the plot and whatever structure is on it. Malik said; That structure is not his. However; the plot and what is in it that the buyer has improved is appraised. Then one sees what the price of the plot is and how much of that value is the price of the structure. They are partners in that. The owner of the plot has as much as his portion; and the creditors have the amount of the portion of the structure. Malik said; The explanation of that is that the value of it all is fifteen hundred dirhams. The value of the plot is five hundred dirhams; and the value of the building is one thousand dirhams. The owner of the plot has a third; and the creditors have two-thirds. Malik said; It is like that with spinning and other things of the same nature in these circumstances and the buyer has a debt which he cannot pay. This is the behaviour in such cases. Malik said; As for goods which have been sold and which the buyer does not improve; but those goods sell well and have gone up in price; so their owner wants them and the creditors also want to seize them; then the creditors choose between giving the owner of the goods the price for which he sold them and not giving him any loss and surrendering his goods to him. If the price of the goods has gone down; the one who sold them has a choice. If he likes; he can take his goods and he has no claim to any of his debtor property; and that is his right. If he likes; he can be one of the creditors and take a portion of his due and not take his goods. That is up to him. Malik said about someone who bought a slave-girl or animal and she gave birth in his possession and the buyer went bankrupt; The slave-girl or the animal and the offspring belong to the seller unless the creditors desire it. In that case they give him his complete due and they take it.	The Chapter on Financial Transaction And Lands in HodHood Indexing, The Book of Blood Money in Muwata Malik
