Isnad Chain
أبو سعيد الخدري
English Translation
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (RA) (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that in the time of Allah's Messenger ﷺ a man suffered a loss affecting fruits he had bought, owed a large debt and became bankrupt. So, Allah's Messenger ﷺ said to the people, "Give him Sadaqah (charity)." Hence, the people gave him charity. However, that was not enough to repay his debt in full. Therefore, Allah's Messenger ﷺ said to the creditors, "Take whatever you find, and you will have nothing other than that." .
