It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa'd bin al-Atwal (may Allah be pleased with him) that his brother died and left three hundred dirhams and a family. I wanted to spend this money on his children, but the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Your brother is held back because of his debt, so pay off the debt on his behalf." So I paid off his debt, then I said: O Messenger of Allah, I have paid everything on his behalf except two dinars which a woman has claimed, who has no proof. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Give them to her, for she is truthful."
