Isa bin Sadaqah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that he went with his father to Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), and they requested him: "Narrate to us a hadith through which Allah Almighty will benefit us." So I heard Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) say: "Whoever among you is able to die in such a state that he owes no debt to anyone, let him certainly do so, for I saw the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when the funeral of a man who owed a debt was brought to him, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'I will not offer the prayer over him until you guarantee his debt, for my praying over him benefits him.' So when the people did not guarantee his debt, he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not lead his funeral prayer, and he said: 'Indeed, he is held in pledge (as security for the debt) in his grave (mortgaged or bound).'"
