Chapter: Paying A Debt On Behalf Of The Deceased
Hadith 2433
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ الْأَطْوَلِ ، أَنَّ أَخَاهُ مَاتَ وَتَرَكَ ثَلَاثَ مِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ وَتَرَكَ عِيَالًا فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أُنْفِقَهَا عَلَى عِيَالِهِ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ :" إِنَّ أَخَاكَ مُحْتَبَسٌ بِدَيْنِهِ ، فَاقْضِ عَنْهُ " ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ أَدَّيْتُ عَنْهُ إِلَّا دِينَارَيْنِ ، ادَّعَتْهُمَا امْرَأَةٌ وَلَيْسَ لَهَا بَيِّنَةٌ ، قَالَ : " فَأَعْطِهَا فَإِنَّهَا مُحِقَّةٌ " .
´It was narrated from Sa'd bin Atwal that :` his brother died, leaving behind three hundred Dirham and dependents. “I wanted to spend (his money) on his dependents, but the Prophet (ﷺ) said: 'Your brother is being detained by his debt, so pay it off for him.'” He said “O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), I have paid it off apart from two Dinar, which a woman is claiming but she has no proof.” He said: “Give them to her for she is telling the truth.”
