كَانَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( صلوات الله عليه ) يَحْبِسُ الرَّجُلَ إِذَا الْتَوَى عَلَى غُرَمَائِهِ ثُمَّ يَأْمُرُ فَيَقْسِمُ مَالَهُ بَيْنَهُمْ بِالْحِصَصِ فَإِنْ أَبَى بَاعَهُ فَيَقْسِمُ يَعْنِي مَالَهُ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Fazzal, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup> used to imprison the man when he delayed upon his creditors. Then he<sup>asws</sup> would order, so that his wealth would be distributed between them with the apportionment. So if he refused, then he<sup>asws</sup> would sell it, meaning his belongings’.
