A dead person was brought to the Prophet ﷺ so that he might lead the funeral prayer for him. He asked, "Is he in debt?" When the people replied in the negative, he led the funeral prayer. Another dead person was brought and he asked, "Is he in debt?" They said, "Yes." He (refused to lead the prayer and) said, "Lead the prayer of your friend." Abu Qatada said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I undertake to pay his debt." Messenger of Allah ﷺ then led his funeral prayer.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أُتِيَ بِجَنَازَةٍ لِيُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَ هَلْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ دَيْنٍ قَالُوا لاَ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ أُتِيَ بِجَنَازَةٍ أُخْرَى فَقَالَ هَلْ عَلَيْهِ مَنْ دَيْنٍ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ صَلُّوا عَلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ قَالَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ عَلَىَّ دَيْنُهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ  

a man was brought to the Prophet for him to offer the funeral prayer, and he said: "Pray for your companion, for he owes a debt." Abu Qatadah said: " I will pay it." The Prophet said: "In full?" He said: "In full." So he prayed for him  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أُتِيَ بِرَجُلٍ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ لِيُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ صَلُّوا عَلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ فَإِنَّ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنًا قَالَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ هُوَ عَلَىَّ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِالْوَفَاءِ قَالَ بِالْوَفَاءِ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ  

"A Janazah was brought to the Prophet and they said: " O Prophet of Allah, pray for him.' He said: "Did he leave any debt behind?' They said: "Yes.' He said 'Did he leave anything?' They said: No. He said; 'Pray fro your companion.' A man among the Ansar who was called Abu Qatadah said: 'Pray for him and I will pay off his debt.' So he prayed for him."  

أُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِجَنَازَةٍ فَقَالُوا يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلِّ عَلَيْهَا قَالَ هَلْ تَرَكَ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنًا قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ هَلْ تَرَكَ مِنْ شَىْءٍ قَالُوا لاَ قَالَ صَلُّوا عَلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ قَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ صَلِّ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَىَّ دَيْنُهُ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would not say funeral prayer over a person who died while the debt was due from him. A dead Muslim was brought to him and he asked: Is there any debt due from him? They (the people) said: Yes, two dirhams. He said: Pray yourselves over your companion. Then AbuQatadah al-Ansari said: I shall pay them, Messenger of Allah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then prayed over him. When Allah granted conquests to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he said: I am nearer to every believer than himself, so if anyone (dies and) leaves a debt, I shall be responsible for paying it; and if anyone leaves property, it goes to his heirs.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ يُصَلِّي عَلَى رَجُلٍ مَاتَ وَعَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ فَأُتِيَ بِمَيِّتٍ فَقَالَ أَعَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ قَالُوا نَعَمْ دِينَارَانِ قَالَ صَلُّوا عَلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ فَقَالَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ الأَنْصَارِيُّ هُمَا عَلَىَّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَنَا أَوْلَى بِكُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ فَمَنْ تَرَكَ دَيْنًا فَعَلَىَّ قَضَاؤُهُ وَمَنْ تَرَكَ مَالاً فَلِوَرَثَتِهِ  

[Machine] The messenger of Allah ﷺ came with a funeral and performed prayer upon it. He asked, "Does he have any debt?" They replied, "Yes, two dinars." He asked, "Did he leave anything behind to pay off the debt?" They replied, "No." He said, "Then pray for your companion." Abu Qatadah said, "They are upon me, O Messenger of Allah." So the Prophet ﷺ prayed upon him.  

أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِجِنَازَةٍ يُصَلِّي عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ دِينَارَانِ فَقَالَ تَرَكَ لَهُمَا وَفَاءً؟ قَالُوا لَا قَالَ فَصَلُّوا عَلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ فَقَالَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ هُمَا عَلَيَّ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ  

a man was brought to the Prophet for him to offer the funeral prayer, and he said: "Pray for your companion, for he owes a debt." Abu Qatadah said: " I will pay it." The Prophet said: "In full?" He said: "In full." So he prayed for him (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1960)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أُتِيَ بِرَجُلٍ لِيُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ «صَلُّوا عَلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ فَإِنَّ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنًا» قَالَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ هُوَ عَلَيَّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «بِالْوَفَاءِ؟» قَالَ بِالْوَفَاءِ قَالَ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was brought a funeral for him to pray over it and he said, "Does he have any debts?" They replied, "He has two dinars of debt." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Pray for your companion." Abu Qatadah said to me, "O Messenger of Allah, those debts are upon me." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came forward and prayed for him.  

أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِجِنَازَةٍ لِيُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهَا وَقَالَ «عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ؟ » قَالُوا عَلَيْهِ دِينَارَانِ فَقَالَ صَلُّوا عَلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ قَالَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ إِلَيَّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هُمَا عَلَيَّ فَتَقَدَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ  

[Machine] We were with the Prophet ﷺ when the funeral of a man from the Ansar was brought. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Did he leave any debt?" They said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah, two dinars." He said, "Pray for your companion." Abu Qatadah said, "They are upon me, O Messenger of Allah." So he prayed for him, and then another funeral was brought. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Does he have any debt?" They said, "No." He said, "Did he leave any wealth?" They said, "Two dinars." He said, "Give it in charity." And he prayed for him.  

كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأُتِيَ بِجِنَازَةِ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ «تَرَكَ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنًا؟» قَالُوا نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ دِينَارَيْنِ قَالَ «صَلُّوا عَلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ» فَقَالَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ هُمَا عَلِيَّ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ أُتِيَ بِأُخْرَى فَقَالَ «عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ؟» قَالُوا لَا قَالَ «فَهَلْ تَرَكَ كَنْزًا؟» قَالُوا دِينَارَيْنِ قَالَ «كَيَّتَانِ» وَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would not say funeral prayer over a person who died while the debt was due from him. A dead Muslim was brought to him and he asked: Is there any debt due from him? They (the people) said: Yes, two dirhams. He said: Pray yourselves over your companion. Then AbuQatadah al-Ansari said: I shall pay them, Messenger of Allah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then prayed over him. When Allah granted conquests to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he said: I am nearer to every believer than himself, so if anyone (dies and) leaves a debt, I shall be responsible for paying it; and if anyone leaves property, it goes to his heirs. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3343)   

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يُصَلِّي عَلَى أَحَدٍ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ فَأُتِيَ بِمَيِّتٍ فَقَالَ هَلْ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ دِينَارَانِ قَالَ صَلُّوا عَلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ قَالَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ هُمَا عَلَيَّ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا فَتَحَ اللهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَنَا أَوْلَى بِكُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ فَمَنْ تَرَكَ دَيْنًا فَعَلَيَّ وَمَنْ تَرَكَ مَالًا فَلِوَرَثَتِهِ  

"عَنْ أَبِى قَتَادَةَ قَالَ أُتِى النَّبِىُّ ﷺ بِجِنازة رَجُل مِن قَوْمِى يُصَلِى عَلَيْهَا، فَقَالَ عَلى صَاحبكَ دَيْن؟ فَالُوا نَعَمْ، عَليه بضعة عَشْرَ دِرْهمًا، قَالَ فَصلوا عَلى صَاحِبكُم، قَلْت: هِىَ علىَّ يَا رَسُولَ الله، فَصَلَّى عَلَيه".
