Jami at-Tirmidhi
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " مَطْلُ الْغَنِيِّ ظُلْمٌ وَإِذَا أُتْبِعَ أَحَدُكُمْ عَلَى مَلِيٍّ فَلْيَتْبَعْ " . قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ وَالشَّرِيدِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ الثَّقَفِيِّ .
Narrated Abu Hurairah: That The Prophet (ﷺ) 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.
