وَعَنْ جَابِرٍ رضى الله عنه
قَالَ: «تُوُفِّيَ رَجُلٌ مِنَّا، فَغَسَّلْنَاهُ، وَحَنَّطْنَاهُ، وَكَفَّنَّاهُ، ثُمَّ أَتَيْنَا بِهِ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْنَا: تُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ? فَخَطَا خُطًى، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «أَعَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ? «قُلْنَا: دِينَارَانِ، فَانْصَرَفَ، فَتَحَمَّلَهُمَا أَبُو قَتَادَةَ، فَأَتَيْنَاهُ، فَقَالَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ: اَلدِّينَارَانِ عَلَيَّ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ -«أُحِقَّ اَلْغَرِيمُ وَبَرِئَ مِنْهُمَا اَلْمَيِّتُ? «قَالَ: نَعَمْ، فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ»
A man from among us died, so we washed, embalmed and shrouded him. We then brought him to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and asked him to pray over him.
He went forward some steps and then asked, “Does he have any debt against him?” We replied, “Two Dinars.” He turned away, but Abu Qatadah (radiyallahu anhu) took upon himself the bearing of them. We then came to him (again) (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and Abu Qatadah (radiyallahu anhu) said: “I shall discharge the two Dinars.”
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) thereupon said, “ a right to the creditor; and the dead man will then be free from them?” He replied, “Yes.” So, he prayed over him.
