1640. Anas narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “Dying in the cause of Allāh expiates every sin.” Jibrīl said: “Except for debt.” So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “Except for debt.” (Ṣaḥīḥ)
[Abū ‘Eisā said:] There are narrations on this topic from Ka’b bin ‘Ujrah, Jābir, Abū Hurairah, and Abū Qāṭadah. This Hadīth is Gharīb, we do not know of it as a Hadīth of Abū Bakr (a narrator) except from this Shaikh (Yāhya bin Talḥah).
He said: I asked Muḥammad bin Ismā’il about this Hadīth and he
did not know it. He said: "I think that he intended the Hadīth of Humaid, from Anas, from the Prophet ﷺ that he said: "There is none from the people of Paradise who would like to return to the world except for the martyr.""

Commentary
Although the Hadīth from this chain is not authentic; from another chain it is correct and sound, which shows that even an act as exceptionally meritorious as Jihād cannot wipe off the violations of the rights of men. Yet, if the dying man had the sincere intention to pay back the debt, but could not because of his extreme penury, then Allāh will do it on his behalf. (See Takmilat Fath Al-Mal', v.3, p.413).
