Abu Dawud and Malik reported the aforesaid Hadith from the narration of Abu Bakr bin 'Abdur-Rahman, as Mursal (broken chain after the Tabi'i), with this wording:

"If anyone sells some goods (on credit) and the one who buys them becomes bankrupt, and the seller does not recover any of the price of his goods, and he then finds his very goods (with him), he is more entitled to them (than anyone else). However, if the buyer dies, the owner of the goods finds his actual goods he has most right to them."

وَرَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ, وَمَالِكٌ: مِنْ رِوَايَةِ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ مُرْسَلًا بِلَفْظِ: { أَيُّمَا رَجُلٌ بَاعَ مَتَاعًا فَأَفْلَسَ اَلَّذِي اِبْتَاعَهُ, وَلَمْ يَقْبِضِ اَلَّذِي بَاعَهُ مِنْ ثَمَنِهِ شَيْئًا , فَوَجَدَ مَتَاعَهُ بِعَيْنِهِ, فَهُوَ أَحَقُّ بِهِ, وَإِنْ مَاتَ اَلْمُشْتَرِي فَصَاحِبُ اَلْمَتَاعِ أُسْوَةُ اَلْغُرَمَاءِ } [1]‏ .‏
