Hadith 1953
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الأَشَجُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ ، وَسَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ ، وَمُسْلِمٍ الْبَطِينِ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ ، وَعَطَاءٍ ، وَمُجَاهِدٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ : جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , فَقَالَتْ : إِنَّ أُخْتِي مَاتَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا صِيَامُ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ , قَالَ : " لَوْ كَانَ عَلَى أُخْتِكَ دَيْنٌ , أَكُنْتِ تَقْضِينَهُ ؟ " قَالَتْ : نَعَمْ , قَالَ : " فَحَقُّ اللَّهِ أَحَقُّ "
Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that a woman came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said that her sister had passed away and she owed two consecutive months of fasting. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If your sister had a (monetary) debt, would you pay it off for her?" She replied, "Yes." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then Allah's right is more deserving to be fulfilled."
