وَيُذْكَرُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ: «لَيُّ الْوَاجِدِ يُحِلُّ عُقُوبَتَهُ وَعِرْضَهُ». قَالَ سُفْيَانُ عِرْضُهُ يَقُولُ مَطَلْتَنِي. وَعُقُوبَتُهُ الْحَبْسُ.
Sahih al-Bukhari 2401
Narrated Abu Huraira:
A man came to the Prophet and demanded his debts and used harsh words. The companions of the Prophet wanted to harm him, but the Prophet ﷺ said, "Leave him, as the creditor (owner of the right) has the right to speak."
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ رَجُلٌ يَتَقَاضَاهُ فَأَغْلَظَ لَهُ فَهَمَّ بِهِ أَصْحَابُهُ. فَقَالَ " دَعُوهُ فَإِنَّ لِصَاحِبِ الْحَقِّ مَقَالاً ".
