أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، وَالْحَارِثُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ ، عَنْ ابْنِ الْقَاسِمِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ : أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ قُتِلْتُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ صَابِرًا ، مُحْتَسِبًا ، مُقْبِلًا غَيْرَ مُدْبِرٍ ، أَيُكَفِّرُ اللَّهُ عَنِّي خَطَايَايَ ؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " نَعَمْ " فَلَمَّا وَلَّى الرَّجُلُ ، نَادَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَوْ أَمَرَ بِهِ فَنُودِيَ لَهُ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " كَيْفَ قُلْتَ " فَأَعَادَ عَلَيْهِ قَوْلَهُ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : نَعَمْ ، إِلَّا الدَّيْنَ ، كَذَلِكَ قَالَ لِي جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام " .
´It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin Abi Qatadah that his father said:` "A man came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, if I am killed in the cause of Allah with patience and seeking reward, facing the enemy and not running away, do you think that Allah will forgive my sins?' The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Yes.' When the man turned away, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) called him back and said: 'What did you say?' He repeated his question, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Yes, except debt. Jibril told me.'"

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: Faith in Allah is the foundation and basis of the religion; without it, no deed is acceptable, and among the five pillars, it is the foundation. Although jihad is not included among the five pillars, it is their protector, and the establishment of the religion is not possible without it. However, violating the rights of people is such a grave crime that even something as great as jihad cannot compensate for it. Yet today, consuming people’s wealth and violating their rights is considered a trivial act, and groups that usurp people’s wealth and property roam about brazenly; there is no one to hold them accountable. Furthermore, if the usurpation of wealth cannot be forgiven, then how can killing and bloodshed be forgiven?

Explanation:
1:
In relation to the most virtuous deeds, different hadiths have described different actions as being the most virtuous.
Various explanations have been given for this.
It is considered that in these hadiths, before "the most virtuous of deeds (afdal al-a'mal)", the word "min" (from among) is implied.
The meaning would then be that these deeds are among the most virtuous.
Or, their mention is according to the varying circumstances, times, and places.
It is also said that the superiority of different deeds has been stated according to the condition of the person being addressed.
2:
That is, a debt which is taken with no intention of repayment.

English Translation:
“Obligatory Rights to be Fulfilled”: In the Arabic text, the word *dayn* is used, which is commonly translated as “loan,” but this is not its true meaning; rather, it is only one form of it. By *dayn* is meant any right that is obligatory upon someone to fulfill for another—whether it is a loan or a case where someone has wronged another. As for a loan, it is when something is taken from someone as a trust (ariyah) with the intention of returning it at a specified time. It is permissible to take a loan in times of need. Even the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) took loans. However, not repaying at the appointed time despite having the means, or taking a loan with the intention of not repaying it from the outset, is a crime. If one intends to repay but is unable to do so due to lack of means, then this is not a crime. (For further details, see Hadith: 3157)
