(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ ، وَأَبُو سَعِيدٍ المعنى ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، قَالَ : تُوُفِّيَ رَجُلٌ فَغَسَّلْنَاهُ ، وَحَنَّطْنَاهُ وَكَفَّنَّاهُ ، ثُمَّ أَتَيْنَا بِهِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ ، فَقُلْنَا نُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ ، فَخَطَا خُطًى ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " أَعَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ ؟ " قُلْنَا : دِينَارَانِ ، فَانْصَرَفَ فَتَحَمَّلَهُمَا أَبُو قَتَادَةَ ، فَأَتَيْنَاهُ ، فَقَالَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ الدِّينَارَانِ عَلَيَّ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أُحِقَّ الْغَرِيمُ ، وَبَرِئَ مِنْهُمَا الْمَيِّتُ ؟ " قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بِيَوْمٍ : " مَا فَعَلَ الدِّينَارَانِ ؟ " فَقَالَ : إِنَّمَا مَاتَ أَمْسِ ، قَالَ : فَعَادَ إِلَيْهِ مِنَ الْغَدِ ، فَقَالَ : قَدْ قَضَيْتُهُمَا ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " الْآنَ بَرَدَتْ عَلَيْهِ جِلْدُهُ " ، وقَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ : فَغَسَّلْنَاهُ ، وَقَالَ : فَقُلْنَا : تُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir, may Allah be pleased with him, that a man passed away. We gave him a bath, applied perfume, dressed him in a shroud, and brought him to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, for the funeral prayer. After walking a few steps, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, asked whether he had any debt. The people informed him that he owed two dinars. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, turned back. Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah took responsibility for his debt upon himself. We presented ourselves before the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah said: O Messenger of Allah! His debt is upon me. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The right of the debtor is now upon you, and the deceased is free from it. He replied: Yes. Upon this, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, led his funeral prayer. Then, after a day had passed, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, asked him about the two dinars. He replied: He only died yesterday. In any case, the next day when he presented himself before the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, he said: I have paid his debt. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Now his body has cooled.
