حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ، سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضى الله عنه

أَنَّ رَجُلاً، أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَتَقَاضَاهُ، فَأَغْلَظَ، فَهَمَّ بِهِ أَصْحَابُهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «دَعُوهُ فَإِنَّ لِصَاحِبِ الْحَقِّ مَقَالاً». ثُمَّ قَالَ: «أَعْطُوهُ سِنًّا مِثْلَ سِنِّهِ». قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَا نَجِدُ إِلاَّ أَمْثَلَ مِنْ سِنِّهِ. فَقَالَ: «أَعْطُوهُ فَإِنَّ مِنْ خَيْرِكُمْ أَحْسَنَكُمْ قَضَاءً»

A man came to the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) demanding his debts and behaved rudely. The companions of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) intended to harm him, but the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said (to them), “Leave him, for the creditor (i.e. owner of a right) has the right to speak.” The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) then said, “Give him a camel of the same age as that of his.”

The people said, “O Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)! There is only a camel that is older than his.” The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “Give (it to) him, for the best amongst you is he who pays the rights of others handsomely.”

আবূ হুরাইরাহ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। এক ব্যক্তি নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম -এর কাছে পাওনার জন্য তাগাদা দিতে এসে রূঢ় ভাষায় কথা বলতে লাগল। এতে সাহাবীগণ তাকে শায়েস্তা করতে উদ্যত হলেন।

তখন আল্লাহর রাসূল সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বললেন, তাকে ছেড়ে দাও। কেননা, পাওনাদারদের কড়া কথা বলার অধিকার রয়েছে। তারপর তিনি বললেন, তার উটের সমবয়সী একটি উট তাকে দিয়ে দাও।

তাঁরা বললেন, হে আল্লাহর রাসূল! এটা নেই। এর চেয়ে উত্তম উট রয়েছে। তিনি বললেন, তাই দিয়ে দাও। তোমাদের মধ্যে সেই সর্বোৎকৃষ্ট, যে ঋণ পরিশোধের বেলায় উত্তম। (২৩০৫)

ہم سے سلیمان بن حرب نے بیان کیا، کہا کہ ہم سے شعبہ نے بیان کیا، ان سے سلمہ بن کہیل نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے ابوسلمہ بن عبدالرحمٰن سے سنا اور انہوں نے ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ سے کہ ایک شخص نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے ( اپنے قرض کا ) تقاضا کرنے آیا، اور سخت گفتگو کرنے لگا۔

صحابہ کرام رضی اللہ عنہم غصہ ہو کر اس کی طرف بڑھے لیکن آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ اسے چھوڑ دو۔ کیونکہ جس کا کسی پر حق ہو تو وہ ( بات ) کہنے کا بھی حق رکھتا ہے۔ پھر آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ اس کے قرض والے جانور کی عمر کا ایک جانور اسے دے دو۔

صحابہ رضی اللہ عنہم نے عرض کیا یا رسول اللہ! اس سے زیادہ عمر کا جانور تو موجود ہے۔ ( لیکن اس عمر کا نہیں ) آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ اسے وہی دے دو۔ کیونکہ سب سے اچھا آدمی وہ ہے جو دوسروں کا حق پوری طرح ادا کر دے۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Sulaiman bin Harb] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Syu'bah] dari [Salamah bin Kuhail] aku mendengar [Abu Salamah bin 'Abdurrahman] dari [Abu Hurairah radliallahu 'anhu] berkata; Ada seorang laki-laki yang datang menemui Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam untuk menagih apa yang dijanjikan kepadanya.

Maka para sahabat marah kepadanya. Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Biarkanlah dia karena bagi orang yang benar ucapannya wajib dipenuhi". Kemudian Beliau berkata: "Berikanlah untuknya seekor anak unta".

Mereka berkata: "Wahai Rasulullah, tidakada kecuali yang umurnya lebih tua". Maka Beliau bersabda: "Berikanlah kepadanya, karena sesungguhnya yang terbaik diantara kalian adalah yang paling baik menunaikan janji

Ebu Hureyre r.a. şöyle anlatır: Bir adam, alacağını almak üzere Hz. Nebi (Sallallahu aleyhi ve Sellem)'e geldi ve biraz sert ve kaba davrandı. Sahabller, o adamı (durdurmak) için yöneldiler. Bunun üzerine Resulullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem, "Onu bırakın, hak sahibinin konuşmaya hakkı vardır. (Ondan alınan deve ile) aynı yaşta bir deve verin ona" buyurdu.

Sahabller, "Sadece onun verdiğinden daha değerli olan (yaşı daha büyük) deve bulabildik" dediler. Efendimiz Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem, "Onu verin, çünkü sizin en hayırlınız borcu en güzel şekilde ödeyeninizdir" 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.
