The Prophet said this phrase in specific about people capable of repaying his debt but elected to delay. You may refer to Fat'h al-Bari and Sharh an-Nawawi for this particular hadith to learn more about its meaning and background. | |

The debtor makes the decision and bears the consequence. The creditor, however, has the right (legal and otherwise) to ask for repayment when due (like what happens anywhere in the world). | |
| Jan 9, 2018 at 22:38 | comment | added | Shadi | Why are you linking the Hadith of the rich man to anyone who is capable of paying their debt? How are you linking the second Hadith with the idea that the creditor has a LEGAL RIGHT on how the person wishes to spend his money? Your whole post implies the dangerous idea that the creditor can choose how his borrowers spend their money. That’s absurd. | |
