2407. It was narrated that 'Uthmān bin 'Abdullāh bin Mawhab said: "I heard 'Abdullāh bin Abu Qatādah narrate from his father that a corpse was brought to the Prophet ﷺ for him to offer the funeral prayer, and he said: 'Pray for your companion, for he owes a debt.' Abu Qatādah said: 'I will stand surety for him.' The Prophet ﷺ said: 'In full?' He said: 'In full.' And the debt he owed was eighteen or nineteen Dirham." (Sahih)

2407 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَوْهَبٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُتِيَ بِجَنَازَةٍ لِيُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهَا، فَقَالَ: «صَلُّوا عَلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ، فَإِنَّ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنًا» ، فَقَالَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ: أَنَا أَتَكَفَّلُ بِهِ، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «بِالْوَفَاءِ؟» قَالَ: بِالْوَفَاءِ، وَكَانَ الَّذِي عَلَيْهِ ثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ، أَوْ تِسْعَةَ عَشَرَ دِرْهَمًا بَابُ مَنِ ادَّانَ دَيْنًا وَهُوَ يَنْوِي قَضَاءَهُ

Commentary

The funeral prayer should be offered for a person who committed a sin; and should not be buried without the prayer. b. Taking the responsibility on behalf of the deceased for payment of debt is legal and permitted, rather it is a favor for the deceased and his relatives.
