English translation of the principle

Payment of the debt by the guarantor without notifying the debtor does not extinguish his right of recourse against the debtor for what he paid, unless the latter proves that he had paid the debt or had grounds that would lead to its invalidity.
Arabic original
وفاء الكفيل للدين دون إخطار المدين لا يسقط حقه في الرجوع بما أوفاه على المدين إلا إذا أثبت الأخير أنه كان قد أوفى الدين، أو كانت لديه أسباب من شأنها أن تؤدي إلى بطلانه.
