حَدَّثَنَا هَدِيَّةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ، حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْهِرْمَاسُ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، قَالَ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِغَرِيمٍ لِي فَقَالَ لِي " الْزَمْهُ " . ثُمَّ مَرَّ بِي آخِرَ النَّهَارِ فَقَالَ " مَا فَعَلَ أَسِيرُكَ يَا أَخَا بَنِي تَمِيمٍ " .

Hadiyyah ibn Abd al-Wahhab narrated to us: al-Nadr ibn Shumayl narrated to us: al-Hirmas ibn Habib narrated to us, from his father, from his grandfather, who said: I came to the Prophet ﷺ with a debtor of mine. He said to me, “Stay with him.” Later that day, he passed by me and said, “What happened to your captive, brother of Banu Tamim?”
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The Arabic calls the debtor “your captive” in the Prophet question, a pointed rhetorical expression retained from the source.
