Hadith of Salamah ibn al-Akwa‘ (RA)

حديث سلمة بن الأكوع

Hadith 333:35

Yahya ibn Sa'id narrated to us, from Yazid, who said: Salamah ibn al-Akwa' narrated to us, saying: I was with the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, when a funeral was brought. They said: "O Prophet of Allah, pray over it." He said: "Did he leave anything behind?" They said: "No." He said: "Did he leave any debt upon him?" They said: "No." So he prayed over him. Then another funeral was brought after that, and he said: "Did he leave any debt upon him?" They said: "No." He said: "Did he leave anything behind?" They said: "Three dinars." He said: "Three brandings." Then a third one was brought, and he said: "Did he leave any debt upon him?" They said: "Yes." He said: "Did he leave anything behind?" They said: "No." He said: "Pray over your companion." A man from the Ansar, who was called Abu Qatadah, said: "O Messenger of Allah, his debt is upon me." So he prayed over him.

حدثنا يحيى بن سعيد، عن يزيد قال: حدثنا سلمة بن الأكوع، قال: كنت مع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فأتي بجنازة فقالوا: يا نبي الله، صل عليها، قال: " هل ترك شيئا؟ "، قالوا: لا، قال: " هل ترك عليه دينا؟ "، قالوا: لا، فصلى عليه، ثم أتي بجنازة بعد ذلك فقال: " هل ترك عليه من دين؟ "، قالوا: لا، قال: " هل ترك من شيء؟ "، قالوا: ثلاث دنانير، قال: " ثلاث كيات "، قال: فأتي بالثالثة فقال: " هل ترك عليه من دين؟ "، قالوا: نعم، قال: " هل ترك من شيء؟ "، قالوا: لا، قال: " صلوا على صاحبكم "، فقال رجل من الأنصار يقال له أبو قتادة: يا رسول الله، علي دينه، فصلى عليه
