كثمن مبيع وبدل القرض
Translation: Such as the price of purchased property and the equivalent due on a loan.
Thaman al-mabiʿ is the price payable for goods acquired; badal al-qard is repayment of what was borrowed. In each, value had previously come into the debtor’s hands.
Under the cited classical rule, a bare claim of having no assets does not necessarily preclude initial detention while the judge investigates. It does not mean unconditional or perpetual imprisonment.
