Sahih al-Bukhari
Transferance of a Debt from One Person to Another (Al-Hawaala)
كتاب الحوالات
Chapter 1
فِي الْحَوَالَةِ، وَهَلْ يَرْجِعُ فِي الْحَوَالَةِ
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “A wealthy person’s delay in payment is wrongdoing. If one of you is referred to a solvent person, let him accept the referral.”
Chapter 2
إِذَا أَحَالَ عَلَى مَلِيٍّ فَلَيْسَ لَهُ رَدٌّ
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “A wealthy person’s delay in payment is wrongdoing. Whoever is referred to a solvent person should accept the referral.”
Chapter 3
إِنْ أَحَالَ دَيْنَ الْمَيِّتِ عَلَى رَجُلٍ جَازَ
Narrated Salama ibn al-Akwa: We were sitting with the Prophet (ﷺ) when a funeral bier was brought. They said, “Pray over him.” He asked, “Does he owe a debt?” They said, “No.” He asked, “Did he leave anything?” They said, “No.” So he prayed over him. Then another bier was brought, and they said, “Messenger of Allah, pray over him.” He asked, “Does he owe a debt?” They said, “Yes.” He asked, “Did he leave anything?” They said, “Three dinars.” So he prayed over him. Then a third bier was brought, and they said, “Pray over him.” He asked, “Did he leave anything?” They said, “No.” He asked, “Does he owe a debt?” They said, “Three dinars.” He said, “Pray over your companion.” Abu Qatada said, “Pray over him, Messenger of Allah, and his debt is mine.” So he prayed over him.
