2403. It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "(Wrongdoing) is when a rich man takes a long time to repay a debt, and if one of you is referred to a rich man (to collect a debt), he should accept that referral." (Sahih)
2403 - حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الظُّلْمُ مَطْلُ الْغَنِيِّ، وَإِذَا أُتْبِعَ أَحَدُكُمْ عَلَى مَلِيءٍ، فَلْيَتْبَعْ»

If one has enough sources to return the debt, it is a sin and moral crime to make a delay in return of debt. 'Should accept that referral' means if the debtor refers the lender to a wealthy man having good reputation to receive his money from him, he should accept this reference and contact him regarding his loan return. The lender can again make a demand from the debtor if he does not receive his money from the referred person.
