Riyad as-Salihin 1611 (Book 17, Hadith 101) #38100
The Wrongness of Procrastination

SUMMARY: It is wrong to delay in fulfilling one's obligations, and if a rich person offers to pay off a debt on behalf of someone else, it should be accepted.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah said, "It is an act of oppression on the part of a person to procrastinate in fulfilling his obligation; if the repayment of a debt due to any of you is undertaken by a rich person, you should agree to the substitution". Al-Bukhari and Muslim.
وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله قال‏:‏ ‏"‏مطل الغني ظلم وإذا أُتبع أحدكم على مليء فليتبع‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏.‏ معنى ‏"‏أتبع‏"‏‏:‏ أحيل‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Fulfill one's obligations promptly and accept offers from wealthy people who wish to help out with repaying debts when necessary .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that it is wrong to delay in fulfilling our obligations. We should not put off doing what we are supposed to do, as this can cause harm or distress for others. If someone is unable to repay their debt, and a wealthy person offers to pay it on their behalf, then the offer should be accepted. This shows us that we must always strive for justice and fairness in our dealings with others. We must also remember that Allah will reward those who are generous and kind towards others.
