1069. ‘Abdullāh bin Abī Qatādah narrated from his father that the Prophet ﷺ was brought a (deceased) man to perform Salāt over. So the Prophet ﷺ said: “Pray for your companion; for indeed he had a debt upon him.” Abū Qatādah said: “It shall be upon me.” So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “To pay it off?” (He said: “To pay it off.”) So he performed the prayer for him. (Sahih) (He said:) There are narrations on this topic from Jābir, Salamah bin Al-Akwa’, and Asmā’ bint Yazīd. Abū ‘Eisā said: The Hadīth of Abū Qatādah is a Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ Hadīth.

١٠٦٩ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبُو دَاوُدَ ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ‌شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ ‌عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَوْهَبٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ‌عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ ‌أَبِيهِ «أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُتِيَ بِرَجُلٍ» لِيُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: صَلُّوا عَلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ، فَإِنَّ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنًا. قَالَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ: هُوَ عَلَيَّ! فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: بِالْوَفَاءِ؟ قَالَ: بِالْوَفَاءِ - فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ، وَسَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْأَكْوَعِ، وَأَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ يَزِيدَ. حَدِيثُ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Commentary

It is clear from this narration that the responsibility of the debt of the deceased can be taken by someone who wants to pay it off on his behalf.
