عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ, عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ - رضى الله عنه - [ قَالَ ]: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -يَقُولُ: { مَنْ أَدْرَكَ مَالَهُ بِعَيْنِهِ عِنْدَ رَجُلٍ قَدْ أَفْلَسَ, فَهُوَ أَحَقُّ بِهِ مِنْ غَيْرِهِ } مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ [1] .
Narrated Abu Bakr bin 'Abdur-Rahman on the authority of Abu Hurairah (RA): We heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) say: "If a creditor finds his very property with a debtor who becomes bankrupt, he is more entitled to it than anyone else." [Agreed upon].
