The Sufficient (Vol 5) · Hadith 287 (#Ḥadīth #2)

2- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى رَفَعَهُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ قَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ إِنَّ لِي عَلَى بَعْضِ الْحَسَنِيِّينَ مَالا وَقَدْ أَعْيَانِي أَخْذُهُ وَقَدْ جَرَى بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ كَلامٌ وَلا آمَنُ أَنْ يَجْرِيَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ مَا أَغْتَمُّ لَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ لَيْسَ هَذَا طَرِيقَ التَّقَاضِي وَلَكِنْ إِذَا أَتَيْتَهُ أَطِلِ الْجُلُوسَ وَالْزَمِ السُّكُوتَ قَالَ الرَّجُلُ فَمَا فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ إِلا يَسِيراً حَتَّى أَخَذْتُ مَالِي.

2. Muhammad ibn Yahya in a marfu’ manner has narrated the following: “He (the narrator) has said that a man once said to abu ‘Abd Allah , ‘A man of Al- Husayniy people owes me a certain amount. Asking him for payment has become tiring for me. We had an argument about it and I am afraid something may happen between us that will make me sad.’ Abu ‘Abd Allah , said, ‘This is not a proper manner of asking for payment. When you go to him next time sit with him for a long time and remain quiet.’ The man has said, ‘I followed the instruction and shortly thereafter I received full payment.’”
