2427. It was narrated from 'Amr bin Sharid that his father said that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "If one who can afford it delays repayment, his honor and punishment become permissible." (Hasan) (One of the narrators) 'Ali Al-Tanāfisi said: 'Honor' means that it is permissible to make a complaint, and 'punishment' means that he may be imprisoned.
2427 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَبْرُ بْنُ أَبِي دُلَيْلَةَ الطَّائِفِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَيْمُونِ بْنِ مُسَيْكَةَ - قَالَ وَكِيعٌ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ خَيْرًا - عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الشَّرِيدِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَيُّ الْوَاجِدِ يُحِلُّ عِرْضَهُ وَعُقُوبَتَهُ» قَالَ عَلِيٌّ الطَّنَافِسِيُّ: «يَعْنِي عِرْضَهُ شِكَايَتَهُ، وَعُقُوبَتَهُ سِجْنَهُ»

Repayment of the loan in time is necessary, and delay without a genuine cause must be avoided. If the debtor does not return the loan on time, a complaint can be lodged against him with a Qāzī or the ruler of the time, and it is the duty of the ruler or Qāzī to provide justice to the claimant.
