Arabic Text

‏ ‏وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏الْمَطْلُ ‏ ‏ظُلْمُ الْغَنِيِّ وَإِذَا ‏ ‏أُتْبِعَ ‏ ‏أَحَدُكُمْ عَلَى مَلِيءٍ ‏ ‏فَلْيَتْبَعْ ‏

English Translation

And [via the same chain, it was also narrated from Abu Hurayra (رضي الله عنه) that] the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Procrastination [in repaying debt] by the wealthy is injustice. And when one of you is transferred [in payment] to a solvent person, let him follow [accept the transfer].'
