Chapter: That the soul of the deceased is held back from Paradise due to his debt
Hadith 6030
عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي جَنَازَةٍ فَقَالَ أَهَاهُنَا مِنْ بَنِي فُلَانٍ أَحَدٌ قَالَهَا ثَلَاثًا فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا مَنَعَكَ فِي الْمَرَّتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ أَنْ تَكُونَ أَجَبْتَنِي أَمَا إِنِّي لَمْ أُنَوِّهْ بِكَ إِلَّا لِخَيْرٍ إِنَّ فُلَانًا لِرَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ مَاتَ إِنَّهُ مَأْسُورٌ وَفِي لَفْظٍ إِنَّهُ مَحْبُوسٌ عَنِ الْجَنَّةِ بِدَيْنِهِ قَالَ قَالَ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ أَهْلَهُ وَمَنْ يَتَحَزَّنَ لَهُ قَضَوْا عَنْهُ حَتَّى مَا جَاءَ أَحَدٌ يَطْلُبُهُ بِشَيْءٍ
Narrated from Sayyiduna Samurah bin Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him), he says that one day we were present with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at a funeral. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Is there any man from such-and-such tribe present here?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) repeated this three times. Finally, a man stood up. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "What prevented you from responding the first two times? I only intended good for you. The matter is that your such-and-such man has been prevented from entering Paradise because of his debt." He says: "I saw the family members of the deceased and those who were grieving for him pay off his debt in such a way that not a single claimant remained."
Hadith 6031
وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى الْيَدِ مَا أَخَذَتْ حَتَّى تُؤَدِّيَ وَفِي لَفْظٍ حَتَّى تُوَدِّيَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whatever the hand takes, it remains a liability upon him until it is repaid.
Hadith 6032
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَفْسُ الْمُؤْمِنِ مُعَلَّقَةٌ مَا كَانَ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ
Narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The soul of the believer remains suspended until his debt is paid off.
Hadith 6033
عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ الْأَطْوَلِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ مَاتَ أَخِي وَتَرَكَ ثَلَاثَمِائَةِ دِينَارٍ وَتَرَكَ صِغَارًا فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أُنْفِقَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ أَخَاكَ مَحْبُوسٌ بِدَيْنِهِ فَاذْهَبْ فَاقْضِ عَنْهُ قَالَ فَذَهَبْتُ فَقَضَيْتُ عَنْهُ ثُمَّ جِئْتُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ قَضَيْتُ عَنْهُ وَلَمْ يَبْقَ إِلَّا امْرَأَةٌ تَدَّعِي دِينَارَيْنِ وَلَيْسَتْ لَهَا بَيِّنَةٌ قَالَ أَعْطِهَا فَإِنَّهَا صَادِقَةٌ
Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Atwal (may Allah be pleased with him) says: My brother passed away and left behind three hundred dinars as inheritance, and he also left behind small children. I intended to spend these dinars on them, but the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: Your brother is being held back because of debt, so go and pay off his debt. So I went and paid off all his debt, then came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! I have paid off all my brother’s debt, except for one woman who claims two dinars, but she has no proof. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Give it to her as well, because she is truthful.
