3629. Hirmās bin Ḥabīb — a man from the people of the desert — narrated from his father, that his grandfather said: "I came to the Prophet ﷺ with a man who owed me a debt, and he said to me: 'Stick with him (do not let him out of your sight).' Then he said to me: 'O brother of Banū Tamīm, what do you intend to do with your prisoner?'" (Da'if)
3629 - حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ أَسَدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا هِرْمَاسُ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ، رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَادِيَةِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدَّهِ، قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِغَرِيمٍ لِي، فَقَالَ لِي: «الْزَمْهُ»، ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي: «يَا أَخَا بَنِي تَمِيمٍ مَا تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ بِأَسِيرِكَ؟»
