Weak graded by Salim al-Hilali Companion’s words (mawquf) Muwatta Malik 1465

وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ دَلاَفٍ الْمُزَنِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، مِنْ جُهَيْنَةَ كَانَ يَسْبِقُ الْحَاجَّ فَيَشْتَرِي الرَّوَاحِلَ فَيُغْلِي بِهَا ثُمَّ يُسْرِعُ السَّيْرَ فَيَسْبِقُ الْحَاجَّ فَأَفْلَسَ فَرُفِعَ أَمْرُهُ إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ فَقَالَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ فَإِنَّ الأُسَيْفِعَ أُسَيْفِعَ جُهَيْنَةَ رَضِيَ مِنْ دِينِهِ وَأَمَانَتِهِ بِأَنْ يُقَالَ سَبَقَ الْحَاجَّ أَلاَ وَإِنَّهُ قَدْ دَانَ مُعْرِضًا فَأَصْبَحَ قَدْ رِينَ بِهِ فَمَنْ كَانَ لَهُ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ فَلْيَأْتِنَا بِالْغَدَاةِ نَقْسِمُ مَالَهُ بَيْنَهُمْ وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالدَّيْنَ فَإِنَّ أَوَّلَهُ هَمٌّ وَآخِرَهُ حَرْبٌ ‏.‏

Malik related to me from Umar ibn Abd ar-Rahman ibn Dalaf al- Muzani from his father that a man from the Juhayna tribe used to buy camels before people set out for hajj and sell them at a higher price. Then he travelled quickly and used to arrive in Makka before the others who set out for hajj. He went bankrupt and his situation was put before Umar ibn al-Khattab, who said, "O People! al-Usayfi, al- Usayfi of the Juhayna, was satisfied with his deen and his trust because it was said of him that he arrived before the others on hajj. He used to incur debts which he was not careful to repay, so all of his property has been eaten up by it. Whoever has a debt against him, let him come to us tomorrow and we will divide his property between his creditors. Beware of debts! Their beginning is a worry and their end is destitution. "

Reported by Malik (No. 1465).

Abu al-Walid al-Baji — Al-Muntaqa

( ش ) : قَوْلُهُ أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ جُهَيْنَةَ كَانَ يَسْبِقُ الْحَاجَّ يُرِيدُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقْصِدُ ذَلِكَ وَيُجْهِدُ نَفْسَهُ فِيهِ وَيَشْتَرِيَ لَهُ الرَّوَاحِلَ السَّابِقَةَ فَيَزِيدُ فِي ثَمَنِهَا إمَّا لِأَنَّ قِيمَتَهَا أَعْلَى مِنْ قِيمَةِ غَيْرِهَا , أَوْ لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَزِيدُ عَلَى قِيمَتِهَا ; لِأَنَّ مَنْ كَانَتْ عِنْدَهُ كَانَ لَا يَسْمَحُ بِهَا إِلَّا بِأَكْثَرَ مِنْ قِيمَتِهَا لِضَنَانَتِهِ بِهَا لَا سِيَّمَا مِمَّنْ يَشْتَرِيهَا بِالدَّيْنِ , ثُمَّ كَانَ يُسْرِعُ السَّيْرَ عَلَيْهَا لِيَسْبِقَ جَمِيعَ الْحَاجِّ فَكَانَ يُتْعِبُهَا وَيُجْهِدُهَا حَتَّى أَنَّهُ رُبَّمَا أَعْجَفَهَا وَأَهْلَكَهَا فَتَلِفَ بِذَلِكَ مَالُهُ وَقَامَ عَلَيْهِ غُرَمَاؤُهُ وَضَاقَ مَالُهُ عَنْ أَد…
