English translation

2884. It was reported from Jābir bin 'Abdullāh who said that his father died and left a debt he had with a Jew for thirty Wasq. Jābir requested him to defer payment for a while but he refused, so Jābir requested the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ to intercede with him on his behalf. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ came and spoke to the Jew to take dates instead of the debt that he was owed, but he refused. Then the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ spoke to him to defer it for a while, but he refused. — Then he narrated the rest of the Hadith. (Sahih)

2884 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، أَنَّ شُعَيْبَ بْنَ إِسْحَاقَ حَدَّثَهُمْ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ، أَنَّ أَبَاهُ تُوُفِّيَ وَتَرَكَ عَلَيْهِ ثَلَاثِينَ وَسْقًا لِرَجُلٍ مِنْ يَهُودَ فَاسْتَنْظَرَهُ جَابِرٌ فَأَبَى، فَكَلَّمَ جَابِرٌ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَشْفَعَ لَهُ إِلَيْهِ، «فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَكَلَّمَ الْيَهُودِيَّ لِيَأْخُذَ ثَمَرَ نَخْلِهِ بِالَّذِي لَهُ عَلَيْهِ فَأَبَى عَلَيْهِ، وَكَلَّمَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُنْظِرَهُ فَأَبَى» وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ

Commentary

Outstanding debts of the deceased person must be paid at the first possible opportunity. Interceding in such matters on behalf of the descendants is a desirable act. The End of the Book of Wills In the Name of Allāh,Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
