Sunan Ibn Majah 2425 (Book 15, Hadith 36) #31777
Authority of Those Owed

SUMMARY: The Prophet of Allah taught that those who are owed something have authority over the debtor until it is paid off.

It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said: "A man came to ask the Prophet of Allah for some debt or some right, and he spoke harshly to him, and the Companions of the Messenger of Allah wanted to rebuke him. But the Messenger of Allah said: 'Let him be, for the one who is owed something has authority over the debtor, until it is paid off'. "
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى الصَّنْعَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ حَنَشٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ يَطْلُبُ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ بِدَيْنٍ أَوْ بِحَقٍّ فَتَكَلَّمَ بِبَعْضِ الْكَلاَمِ فَهَمَّ صَحَابَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ بِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ مَهْ إِنَّ صَاحِبَ الدَّيْنِ لَهُ سُلْطَانٌ عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ حَتَّى يَقْضِيَهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that those who are owed something have authority over the debtor until it is paid off. It was narrated by Ibn 'Abbas, a companion of the Prophet Muhammad, that a man came to ask for some debt or right and spoke harshly to him. The Companions wanted to rebuke him but the Prophet said not to because he has authority over the debtor until it is paid off. This hadith teaches us about justice and fairness in dealing with people, even if they owe us something or we owe them something. We should not be harsh with them but instead be patient and understanding as we wait for our rights or debts to be fulfilled. We should also remember that justice will prevail in all cases and everyone will get what they deserve in due time.
