6699. Narrated Ibn ‘Abbās رضي الله عنهما: A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said to him, “My sister vowed to perform the Hajj, but she died (before fulfilling it).” The Prophet ﷺ said, “Would you not have paid her debts if she had any?” The man said, “Yes.” The Prophet ﷺ said, “So pay Allāh’s Rights, as He is more entitled to receive His Rights.”
6699 - حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، قَالَ: أَتَى رَجُلٌ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لَهُ: إِنَّ أُخْتِي قَدْ نَذَرَتْ أَنْ تَحُجَّ، وَإِنَّهَا مَاتَتْ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَوْ كَانَ عَلَيْهَا دَيْنٌ أَكُنْتَ قَاضِيَهُ» قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: «فَاقْضِ اللَّهَ، فَهُوَ أَحَقُّ بِالقَضَاءِ»
