Jami at-Tirmidhi 1308 (Book 14, Hadith 111) #26884
The Importance of Paying Debts on Time

SUMMARY: Paying debts on time is important and should not be delayed.

Narrated Abu Hurairah: That the Prophet said: "Procrastination (in paying a debt) by a rich person is oppression. So if your debt is transferred from your debtor to a rich debtor, you should agree". He said: There are narrations on this topic from Ibn 'Umar, and Ash-Sharid bin Suwaid Ath-Thaqafi.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَطْلُ الْغَنِيِّ ظُلْمٌ وَإِذَا أُتْبِعَ أَحَدُكُمْ عَلَى مَلِيٍّ فَلْيَتْبَعْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ وَالشَّرِيدِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ الثَّقَفِيِّ

Pay debts on time
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith emphasizes the importance of paying debts on time. It was narrated by Abu Hurairah that the Prophet said, “Procrastination in paying a debt by a rich person is oppression”. This means that if someone has money and they delay paying their debt, it is considered an act of injustice or oppression. The Prophet also said that if your debt is transferred from your debtor to a rich debtor, you should agree to it. This means that if someone else takes over the responsibility for your debt, you should accept it as long as they are able to pay it off in full and on time. This hadith teaches us about the importance of being responsible with our finances and honoring our commitments when we borrow money from others. It also reminds us to be mindful of how we treat others financially so we do not cause them any harm or distress due to our negligence or procrastination in repaying what we owe them.
