Arabic hadith text

وَقَالَ اللَّيْثُ حَدَّثَنِي جَعْفَرُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ هُرْمُزَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، رضى الله عنه عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ ذَكَرَ رَجُلاً سَأَلَ بَعْضَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يُسْلِفَهُ أَلْفَ دِينَارِ، فَدَفَعَهَا إِلَيْهِ إِلَى أَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى‏.‏ وَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ وَعَطَاءٌ إِذَا أَجَّلَهُ فِي الْقَرْضِ جَازَ‏.‏

Translation

Al-Layth said: Jaʿfar ibn Rabiʿa narrated to me, from ʿAbd al-Rahman ibn Hurmuz, from Abu Hurayra (may Allah be pleased with him), from the Messenger of Allah, that he mentioned a man who asked one of the Children of Israel to lend him one thousand dinars. The man handed it over to him for a fixed term.

Ibn ʿUmar and ʿAtaʾ said: If a period is specified for a loan, that is permissible.
