Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 8810 — When someone among the people died, they
حَدَّثَنَا مِقْدَامٌ : نَا عَمِّي : ثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ ، عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ مُضَرَ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَارِثِ ، عَنْ يُونُسَ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ : كَانَ النَّاسُ إِذَا مَاتَ لَهُمُ الْمَيِّتُ أَتَوْا بِهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِيُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ ، فَيَسْأَلُ : I " هَلْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ دَيْنٍ ؟ I " فَإِنْ قَالُوا : نَعَمْ قَالَ : I " هَلْ تَرَكَ لِدَيْنِهِ مِنْ قَضَاءٍ ؟ I " ، فَإِنْ قَالُوا : نَعَمْ ، صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ ، وَإِلَّا قَالَ : صَلُّوا عَلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ ، فَلَمَّا فَتَحَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ الْفُتُوحَ قَالَ : I " أَنَا أَوْلَى بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ مَنْ مَاتَ وَعَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ فَعَلَيْنَا ، وَمَنْ تَرَكَ مَالًا فَلِوَرَثَتِهِ .
Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: When someone among the people died, they would bring him to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) so that he would lead his funeral prayer. He (peace and blessings be upon him) would ask: "Does he owe any debt?" If the people said: "Yes," he (peace and blessings be upon him) would ask: "Has he left anything to pay off his debt?" If they said: "Yes," he (peace and blessings be upon him) would lead his funeral prayer; otherwise he would say: "Pray over your companion yourselves." Then, when Allah Almighty opened the doors of conquests for him (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I am closer (and have more right) to the believers than their own selves. So whoever dies while owing a debt, it is upon us; and whoever leaves wealth, it is for his heirs."
