(40) باب فِي الرَّجُلِ يُفْلِسُ فَيَجِدُ الرَّجُلُ مَتَاعَهُ بِعَيْنِهِ عِنْدَهُ
A similar tradition (to the No. 3513) has been transmitted by AbuHurayrah from the Prophet (ﷺ). This version has:
If he paid something from its price, then he will be equal to the creditors in the remaining price. If a man dies and he has the very property of a man (i.e. seller), he is equal to the creditors whether he (the buyer) pays him (the price) or not.Abu Dawud said: Malik's version of this tradition is sounder.
