فإن قال: له علي مال عظيم لم يصدق في أقل من مائتي درهم
If someone admits owing 'great property,' al-Quduri does not accept an explanation below 200 dirhams.
Two hundred dirhams is the classical measure for this specific wording in the legal text. It is not a modern universal threshold of wealth. The legal result changes because the speaker said mal ʿazim rather than merely mal.
