حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، حَدَّثَنَا الثَّوْرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ ، عَن سَمْعَانَ بْنِ مُشَنَّجٍ ، عَن سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ , قَالَ : كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي جَنَازَةٍ فَقَالَ : " أَهَهُنَا مِنْ بَنِي فُلَانٍ أَحَدٌ ؟ " قَالَهَا ثَلَاثًا ، فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَا مَنَعَكَ فِي الْمَرَّتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ أَنْ تَكُونَ أَجَبْتَنِي ؟ أَمَا إِنِّي لَمْ أُنَوِّهْ بِكَ إِلَّا لِخَيْرٍ ، إِنَّ فُلَانًا لِرَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ مَاتَ إِنَّهُ مَأْسُورٌ بِدَيْنِهِ " , قَالَ : لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ أَهْلَهُ وَمَنْ يَتَحَزَّنُ لَهُ قَضَوْا عَنْه حَتَّى مَا جَاءَ أَحَدٌ يَطْلُبُهُ بِشَيْءٍ . .
It is narrated from Hazrat Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at a funeral. After the prayer, he said three times, "Is there anyone here from such-and-such tribe?" A man stood up and said, "Yes! (We are present)." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Why did you not answer the first time? I called you for a good purpose. Your companion who has passed away has been stopped at the gate of Paradise because of a debt. (Therefore, you should pay off his debt.)" The narrator says that then I saw his family and those who grieved for him pay off his debt, and after that, no one came to make a claim.
