English translation

3343. It was narrated that Jābir said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ would not offer the funeral prayer for a man who had died in debt. A deceased person was brought to him and he said: 'Does he owe any debt?' They said: 'Yes, two Dinars.' He said: "Offer the funeral prayer for your companion." Abū Qatādah Al-Anṣārī said: 'I will pay them, O Messenger of Allāh.' So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ offered the funeral prayer for him. When Allāh granted conquests to His Messenger ﷺ, he said: 'I am more worthy of every believer than himself. Whoever leaves behind a debt, then refer it to me, and whoever leaves behind wealth, it is for his heirs.'" (Sahih)

3343 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُتَوَكِّلِ الْعَسْقَلَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يُصَلِّي عَلَى رَجُلٍ مَاتَ وَعَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ، فَأُتِيَ بِمَيِّتٍ، فَقَالَ: «أَعَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ؟» قَالُوا: نَعَمْ، دِينَارَانِ، قَالَ: «صَلُّوا عَلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ» فَقَالَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ: هُمَا عَلَيَّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَلَمَّا فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «أَنَا أَوْلَى بِكُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ، فَمَنْ تَرَكَ دَيْنًا فَعَلَيَّ قَضَاؤُهُ وَمَنْ تَرَكَ مَالًا فَلِوَرَثَتِهِ»،
