The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Procrastination (delay) in paying debts by a wealthy man
is injustice. So, if your debt is transferred from your debtor to a rich debtor,
you should agree."
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي
الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ
رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " مَطْلُ الْغَنِيِّ ظُلْمٌ، فَإِذَا
أُتْبِعَ أَحَدُكُمْ عَلَى مَلِيٍّ فَلْيَتْبَعْ ".

Once, while we were sitting in the company of Prophet, a dead man was brought.
The Prophet (ﷺ) was requested to lead the funeral prayer for the deceased. He
said, "Is he in debt?" The people replied in the negative. He said, "Has he left
any wealth?" They said, "No." So, he led his funeral prayer. Another dead man
was brought and the people said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Lead his funeral
prayer." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Is he in debt?" They said, "Yes." He said, "Has
he left any wealth?" They said, ''Three Dinars." So, he led the prayer. Then a
third dead man was brought and the people said (to the Prophet (ﷺ) ), Please
lead his funeral prayer." He said, "Has he left any wealth?" They said, "No." He
asked, "Is he in debt?" They said, ("Yes! He has to pay) three Diners.', He
(refused to pray and) said, "Then pray for your (dead) companion." Abu Qatada
said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Lead his funeral prayer, and I will pay his
debt." So, he led the prayer.
