Narrated 'Amr bin ash-Sharid on the authority of his father: Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: "Delay in payment on the part of one who possesses the means, makes it lawful to dishonor and punish him." [Abu Dawud and an-Nasa'i reported it. al-Bukhari reported it as Mu'allaq (broken chain from the side of the Hadith collector), and Ibn Hibban graded it Sahih (authentic)] .
