1070. Abū Hurairah narrated: “A deceased man would be brought to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ while a debt was due upon him. So he would say: ‘Has he left anything to pay off his debt?’ If he was told that he had left something to pay it then he would pray (the funeral prayer) for him. Otherwise he
would tell the Muslims: 'Pray for your companion.' So when Allāh granted him the victories, he stood and said: 'I am more worthy in the case of the believers than they themselves are. So whoever among the believers dies and leaves a debt behind, then it is up to me to fulfill it. And whoever leaves wealth behind, then it is for his heirs.'" (Sahih)
Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadīth is Hasan Šāhih. Yaḥya bin Bukair and others have reported it from Al-Laith bin Sa'd [similarly to the narration of 'Abdullāh bin Šāliḥ (a narrator in the chain of this Hadīth)].

Commentary
As the Prophet ﷺ is kinder to every Muslim, more than his own self, so it is obligatory on every individual of the Ummah to follow him sincerely.
