Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 4208

عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ : تُوُفِّيَ رَجُلٌ ، فَغَسَّلْنَاهُ ، وَكَفَّنَّاهُ ، وَحَنَّطْنَاهُ ، ثُمَّ أَتَيْنَا بِهِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ ، فَقُلْنَا : تُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ ؟ فَخَطَا خُطْوَةً ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " أَعَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ ؟ " ، قُلْتُ : دِينَارَانِ ، فَانْصَرَفَ ، فَتَحَمَّلَهَا أَبُو قَتَادَةَ ، فَأَتَيْنَاهُ ، فَقَالَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ : الدِّينَارَانِ عَلَيَّ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " قَدْ أَوْفَى اللَّهُ حَقَّ الْغَرِيمِ ، وَبَرِئَ مِنْهَا الْمَيِّتُ " ، قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بِيَوْمٍ : " مَا فَعَلَ الدِّينَارَانِ ؟ " ، قُلْتُ : إِنَّمَا مَاتَ مِنَ الْأَمْسِ ، قَالَ : فَعَادَ إِلَيْهِ مِنَ الْغَدِ قَالَ : قَدْ قَضَيْتُهُمَا ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " الْآنَ بَرُدَتْ عَلَيْهِ جِلْدَتُهُ " .
قُلْتُ : رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ بِاخْتِصَارٍ .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَالْبَزَّارُ ، وَإِسْنَادُهُ حَسَنٌ .
Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A man died. We washed him, shrouded him and applied perfume (hanut) to him. Then we brought his body to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) so that he would lead his funeral prayer. We said: "Will you lead his funeral prayer?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) walked one step, then asked: "Is there any debt owed by him?" I said: "Two dinars." So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned back. Then Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) took the payment of them upon himself. We came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) again, and Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Paying the two dinars is my responsibility." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty will fulfil the creditor's right, and the deceased will be free of it." Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Yes." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led that man's funeral prayer. A day later the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What has become of the two dinars?" I said: "That man only died yesterday." The narrator says: Then he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) the following day and said: "I have paid them both." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Now his skin has been cooled for him."
(Allamah Haythami says:) I say: Imam Abu Dawud recorded it in abridged form.
Imam Ahmad and Imam Bazzar recorded it, and its chain is hasan (good).
