Hadith #50073
وَعَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: كَانَ مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ شَابًّا سَخِيًّا وَكَانَ لَا يُمْسِكُ شَيْئًا فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يُدَانُ حَتَّى أَغَرَقَ مَالَهُ كُلَّهُ فِي الدَّيْنِ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَكَلَّمَهُ لِيُكَلِّمَ غُرَمَاءَهُ فَلَوْ تَرَكُوا لِأَحَدٍ لَتَرَكُوا لِمُعَاذٍ لِأَجْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَبَاعَ رَسُول الله صلى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسلم مَالَهُ حَتَّى قَامَ مُعَاذٌ بِغَيْرِ شَيْءٍ. رَوَاهُ سعيد فِي سنَنه مُرْسلا
On the authority of Abd al-Rahman bin Ka`b bin Malik, he said: Muadh bin Jabal was a generous young man, and he did not hold back anything, and he continued to be condemned until he drowned his money. He was all in debt, so he came to the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and spoke to him to speak to his creditors. If they had left it to anyone, they would have left it to Muadh. For the sake of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, so the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, sold his money until Muadh came up with nothing. Narrated by Saeed in his Sunan, mursal
