أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَبُو زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْقَاضِي، قَالُوا: ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا بَحْرُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، ثنا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يُؤْتَى بِالرَّجُلِ الْمَيِّتِ أَظُنُّهُ عَلَيْهِ الدَّيْنُ فَيَسْأَلُ: " هَلْ تَرَكَ لِدَيْنِهِ مِنْ قَضَاءٍ؟ " فَإِنْ حُدِّثَ أَنَّهُ تَرَكَ وَفَاءً صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ، وَإِلَّا قَالَ: " صَلُّوا عَلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ "، فَلَمَّا فَتَحَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ الْفُتُوحَ قَالَ: " أَنَا أَوْلَى بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ مَنْ تُوُفِّيَ وَعَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ فَعَلَيَّ قَضَاؤُهُ وَمَنْ تَرَكَ مَالًا فَلِوَرَثَتِهِ "، رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ، عَنْ حَرْمَلَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ، وَأَخْرَجَهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ، عَنْ يُونُسَ.
Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: A man would be brought to him (peace and blessings be upon him) (that is, a deceased person) (the narrator said: I think, a man in debt), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) would ask: "Has he left anything with which his debt can be paid?" If he was told that he had left wealth, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would pray the funeral prayer over him; and if there was nothing, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would say to the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them): "Pray the funeral prayer over your companion." When many conquests came, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I am closer to the believers than their own selves. Whoever dies in debt, I will pay it off, and whoever leaves wealth, it is for his heirs."
