Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَجُلٌ يَتَقَاضَاهُ فَأَغْلَظَ لَهُ فَهَمَّ بِهِ أَصْحَابُهُ. فَقَالَ " دَعُوهُ فَإِنَّ لِصَاحِبِ الْحَقِّ مَقَالاً ".
Translation
Musaddad narrated to us: Yahya narrated to us, from Shu'ba, from Salama, from Abu Salama, from Abu Hurayra (may Allah be pleased with him): A man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) demanding repayment and spoke harshly to him. The Prophet’s Companions were about to act against him, but he said: ‘Leave him, for the one who holds a right is entitled to speak.’
