English translation

2956. It was reported from Jābir bin ‘Abdullāh, from the Prophet ﷺ, that he would say: “I am more worthy of every believer than himself. So any man who dies, and leaves a debt behind, then it is referred to me, and whoever leaves wealth behind, it is for his heirs.” (Hasan)

Arabic text

2956 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَقُولُ: «أَنَا أَوْلَى بِكُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ، فَأَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ مَاتَ وَتَرَكَ دَيْنًا فَإِلَيَّ، وَمَنْ تَرَكَ مَالًا فَلِوَرَثَتِهِ»
