Is the seller sinful if he refuses to pay the amount demanded by the buyer, after the cancellation of a medical clinic's license due to the failure to transfer the license in the buyer's name at the time of sale, knowing that the sale contract stipulated that the buyer is responsible for transferring ownership?

Based on what you have stated, since you sold the clinic to your friend for him to own outright, and he is responsible for transferring the ownership, you are not obligated to pay him anything, nor is there any sin upon you for refusing to do so. He is responsible for his own negligence.
