حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " الظُّلْمُ مَطْلُ الْغَنِيِّ وَإِذَا أُتْبِعَ أَحَدُكُمْ عَلَى مَلِيءٍ فَلْيَتْبَعْ " .

Hisham ibn Ammar narrated to us: Sufyan ibn Uyaynah narrated to us, from Abu al-Zinad, from al-Araj, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Delaying payment by a person of means is wrongdoing. When one of you is referred to a solvent person for repayment, let him accept the transfer.”
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The Arabic condemns a solvent debtor delay and then refers to following a transfer to a solvent party, a debt-assignment context. The chain omitted by the English witness is supplied.
