مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُتَوَكِّلِ الْعَسْقَلَانِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا
عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا
مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنِ
الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ
أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ
جَابِرٍ ، قَالَ : " كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يُصَلِّي عَلَى رَجُلٍ مَاتَ وَعَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ ، فَأُتِيَ بِمَيِّتٍ ، فَقَالَ : أَعَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ ؟ ، قَالُوا : نَعَمْ ، دِينَارَانِ ، قَالَ : صَلُّوا عَلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ ، فَقَالَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ : هُمَا عَلَيَّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَلَمَّا فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : أَنَا أَوْلَى بِكُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ ، فَمَنْ تَرَكَ دَيْنًا ، فَعَلَيَّ قَضَاؤُهُ ، وَمَنْ تَرَكَ مَالًا ، فَلِوَرَثَتِهِ " ،
Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would not say funeral prayer over a person who died while the debt was due from him. A dead Muslim was brought to him and he asked: Is there any debt due from him? They (the people) said: Yes, two dirhams. He said: Pray yourselves over your companion. Then Abu Qatadah al-Ansari said: I shall pay them, Messenger of Allah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then prayed over him. When Allah granted conquests to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he said: I am nearer to every believer than himself, so if anyone (dies and) leaves a debt, I shall be responsible for paying it; and if anyone leaves property, it goes to his heirs.
