742 – Ibn Kaʿb ibn Mālik narrates from his father that “the Messenger of Allah ﷺ placed Muʿādh’s property under interdiction and sold it in order to settle a debt he owed.” Reported by al-Dāraquṭnī; al-Ḥākim declared it sound. Abū Dāwūd transmitted it as a mursal report and judged the mursal version to be stronger.⦗1⦘

Hadith status
The report is mursal.
In al-Talkhīṣ it is stated: al-Dāraquṭnī (4/230), al-Ḥākim, and al-Bayhaqī (1141) recorded it through the chain of Hishām ibn Yūsuf--Maʿmar--al-Zuhrī--Ibn Kaʿb ibn Mālik--his father, with the wording: “He placed Muʿādh’s property under interdiction and sold it to cover a debt that was against him.”
ʿAbd al-Razzāq and ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Mubārak, however, related it from Maʿmar without the Companion in the chain, making it mursal. Abū Dāwūd included it in al-Marāsīl, through ʿAbd al-Razzāq, in a longer mursal form. Al-Ḥākim graded it ṣaḥīḥ, and al-Dhahabī agreed.
ʿAbd al-Ḥaqq said: “The mursal version is sounder than the connected one,” while Ibn al-Ṭallāʿ held that “the hadith is established.”

Glossary
• ḥajr: The verb ḥajara, yaḥjuru, ḥajran literally means to prevent or restrict, as in the Almighty’s words: “ḥijran maḥjūrā” (Q 25:22 – “an absolute prohibition”). In legal usage it refers to barring a person from disposing of his property; if he is legally incompetent, the interdiction is for his own benefit, whereas if he is competent it is for the benefit of others, namely his creditors.

Points derived from the two hadiths
1 – In juristic terminology, ḥajr is the interdiction placed on an insolvent debtor, preventing him from dealing with his existing property or with assets that later accrue to him through inheritance
