Hadith 598
۞
Hadith.3715 - Ibrahim ibn Hashim narrated that Muhammad ibn Abi Umayr (may Allah (swt) be pleased with him) was a cloth merchant.
He lost his wealth and became poor. A man owed him ten thousand dirhams. Muhammad ibn Abi Umayr sold his house, which he lived in, for ten thousand dirhams and brought the money to the debtor's door.
Muhammad ibn Abi Umayr came out and asked: "
What is this?"
The man replied: "This is your money that I owe you."
He asked: "Did you inherit it?"
The man said: "No."
He asked: "Was it gifted to you?"
The man said: "No."
He asked: "Is it the price of a property you sold?"
The man said: "No."
He asked: "Then what is it?"
The man replied: "I sold the house I live in to repay my debt."
Muhammad ibn Abi Umayr (may Allah (swt) be pleased with him) said: "Zarih Al-Muharibi narrated to me from Abu Abdillah (as) that he said:
'A man should not be forced out of his home because of a debt.' Take it back; I have no need for it. By Allah (swt), I am in need of a dirham at this moment, yet not a single dirham of it will enter my possession."

كَانَ رَجُلاً بَزَّازاً فَذَهَبَ مَالُهُ وَ اِفْتَقَرَ وَ كَانَ لَهُ عَلَى رَجُلٍ عَشَرَةُ آلاَفِ دِرْهَمٍ فَبَاعَ دَاراً لَهُ كَانَ يَسْكُنُهَا بِعَشَرَةِ آلاَفِ دِرْهَمٍ وَ حَمَلَ اَلْمَالَ إِلَى بَابِهِ فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ فَقَالَ مَا هَذَا قَالَ هَذَا مَالُكَ اَلَّذِي لَكَ عَلَيَّ قَالَ وَرِثْتَهُ قَالَ لاَ قَالَ وُهِبَ لَكَ قَالَ لاَ قَالَ فَقَالَ فَهُوَ ثَمَنُ ضَيْعَةٍ بِعْتَهَا قَالَ لاَ قَالَ فَمَا هُوَ قَالَ بِعْتُ دَارِيَ اَلَّتِي أَسْكُنُهَا لِأَقْضِيَ دَيْنِي
فَقَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُ حَدَّثَنِي ذَرِيحٌ اَلْمُحَارِبِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: "لاَ يُخْرَجُ اَلرَّجُلُ عَنْ مَسْقَطِ رَأْسِهِ بِالدَّيْنِ اِرْفَعْهَا فَلاَ حَاجَةَ لِي فِيهَا وَ اَللَّهِ إِنِّي مُحْتَاجٌ فِي وَقْتِي هَذَا إِلَى دِرْهَمٍ وَ مَا يَدْخُلُ مِلْكِي مِنْهَا دِرْهَمٌ".
