وَعَنِ الشَّرِيدِ
قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَيُّ الْوَاجِدِ يُحِلُّ عِرْضَهُ وَعُقُوبَتَهُ» قَالَ ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ: يُحِلُّ عِرْضَهُ: يُغَلَّظُ لَهُ. وَعُقُوبَتَهُ: يُحْبَسُ لَهُ
Ash-Sharid reported God’s Messenger as saying, “Delay in payment on the part of one who possesses the means makes it lawful to dishonour and punish him.” Ibn al-Mubarak said that “dishonour” means he may be spoken to roughly and “punish” means he may be imprisoned for it. Abu Dawud and Nasai transmitted it.
