حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ عَنْ الْأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَا يُمْنَعُ فَضْلُ الْمَائِ لِيُمْنَعَ بِهِ الْکَلَأُ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 1272
Narrated Abu Hurairah: That the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Whichever person becomes bankrupt, and a man finds his particular merchandise with him, then he is more deserving of it than others. [He said:] There are narrations on this topic from Samurah and Ibn 'Umar. [Abu 'Eisa said:] The Hadith of Abu Hurairah is a Hasan Sahih Hadith. This is acted upon according to some of the people of knowledge and it is the view of Ash-Shafi'i, Ahmad, and Ishaq. Some of the people of knowledge said that he is just like one of the debtors. This is the view of the people of Al-Kufah.
