Isa bin Sadaqah bin Abbad al-Yashkuri narrates: I went with Abu Isa to Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him). We said: "Narrate to us a hadith through which Allah Almighty may benefit us." Then I heard him say: "Whoever among you is able to die in a state where he owes no debt, let him do so. For I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when the bier of a man who owed a debt was brought to him, and he said: 'I will not lead his funeral prayer until you take responsibility for his debt; then my offering the funeral prayer will benefit him.' The people did not take his debt upon themselves, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not offer his funeral prayer. He said: 'He will remain held in pledge in his grave.'"
Imam Abu Ya'la recorded it. Abu Hatim declared the narrator Isa thiqah (trustworthy), and others declared him da'if (weak).
