حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الدَّرَاوَرْدِيُّ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، لَزِمَ غَرِيمًا لَهُ بِعَشَرَةِ دَنَانِيرَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ مَا عِنْدِي شَىْءٌ أُعْطِيكَهُ فَقَالَ لاَ وَاللَّهِ لاَ أُفَارِقُكَ حَتَّى تَقْضِيَنِي أَوْ تَأْتِيَنِي بِحَمِيلٍ فَجَرَّهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " كَمْ تَسْتَنْظِرُهُ " . فَقَالَ شَهْرًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " فَأَنَا أَحْمِلُ لَهُ " . فَجَاءَهُ فِي الْوَقْتِ الَّذِي قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مِنْ أَيْنَ أَصَبْتَ هَذَا " . قَالَ مِنْ مَعْدِنٍ قَالَ " لاَ خَيْرَ فِيهَا " . وَقَضَاهَا عَنْهُ .

Muhammad ibn al-Sabbah narrated to us: Abd al-Aziz ibn Muhammad al-Darawardi narrated to us, from Amr ibn Abi Amr, from Ikrimah, from Ibn Abbas, who said: During the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, a man was pursuing a debtor who owed him ten dinars. The debtor said, “I have nothing to give you.” The creditor said, “No, by Allah, I will not leave you until you pay me or bring me a guarantor.” He dragged him to the Prophet ﷺ, who asked the creditor, “How long will you give him?” He replied, “One month.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Then I will guarantee him.” The debtor came to him at the time set by the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ asked him, “Where did you get this?” He said, “From a mine.” He said, “There is no good in it,” and paid the debt on his behalf.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The amount (ten dinars), the one-month respite, and the final statement about the mine are all explicit in the Arabic and retained. The closing “there is no good in it” is unusual and left untranslated beyond its literal sense.
