Hadith of Abu Qatadah Al-Ansari (RA)
حديث أبي قتادة الأنصاري
Hadith 1007:141
'Affan narrated to us, Abu 'Awanah narrated to us, from 'Uthman ibn 'Abdullah ibn Mawhab, from 'Abdullah ibn Abi Qatadah, from his father, who said: A man among us died, so we came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) for him to pray over him. He said: "Did he leave behind anything?" They said: "No, by Allah, he did not leave behind anything." He said: "Did he leave behind any debt upon him?" They said: "Yes, eighteen dirhams." He said: "Did he leave behind anything for its repayment?" They said: "No, by Allah, he did not leave behind anything for it." He said: "Then you pray over him." Abu Qatadah said: "O Messenger of Allah, what if I pay it off on his behalf, will you pray over him?" He said: "If you pay it off on his behalf in full, I will pray over him." He said: So Abu Qatadah went and paid it off on his behalf. Then he said: "Have you paid off what was upon him?" He said: "Yes." So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) called for him and prayed over him.
حدثنا عفان، حدثنا أبو عوانة، عن عثمان بن عبد الله بن موهب، عن عبد الله بن أبي قتادة، عن أبيه قال: توفي رجل منا فأتينا النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ليصلي عليه قال: " هل ترك من شيء؟ " قالوا: لا والله ما ترك من شيء. قال: " فهل ترك عليه من دين؟ " قالوا: نعم. ثمانية عشر درهما. قال: " فهل ترك لها قضاء؟ " قالوا: لا. والله ما ترك لها من شيء. قال: " فصلوا أنتم عليه ". قال أبو قتادة: يا رسول الله، أرأيت إن قضيت عنه أتصلي عليه؟ قال: " إن قضيت عنه بالوفاء صليت عليه ". قال فذهب أبو قتادة فقضى عنه. فقال: " أوفيت ما عليه؟ " قال: نعم. فدعا به رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فصلى عليه
