Once, while we were sitting in the company of Prophet, a dead man was brought. The Prophet ﷺ was requested to lead the funeral prayer for the deceased. He said, "Is he in debt?" The people replied in the negative. He said, "Has he left any wealth?" They said, "No." So, he led his funeral prayer. Another dead man was brought and the people said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Lead his funeral prayer." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Is he in debt?" They said, "Yes." He said, "Has he left any wealth?" They said, ''Three Dinars." So, he led the prayer. Then a third dead man was brought and the people said (to the Prophet ﷺ ), Please lead his funeral prayer." He said, "Has he left any wealth?" They said, "No." He asked, "Is he in debt?" They said, ("Yes! He has to pay) three Diners.', He (refused to pray and) said, "Then pray for your (dead) companion." Abu Qatada said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Lead his funeral prayer, and I will pay his debt." So, he led the prayer.  

كُنَّا جُلُوسًا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِذْ أُتِيَ بِجَنَازَةٍ فَقَالُوا صَلِّ عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَ هَلْ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ قَالُوا لاَ قَالَ فَهَلْ تَرَكَ شَيْئًا قَالُوا لاَ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ أُتِيَ بِجَنَازَةٍ أُخْرَى فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلِّ عَلَيْهَا قَالَ هَلْ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ قِيلَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَهَلْ تَرَكَ شَيْئًا قَالُوا ثَلاَثَةَ دَنَانِيرَ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهَا ثُمَّ أُتِيَ بِالثَّالِثَةِ فَقَالُوا صَلِّ عَلَيْهَا قَالَ هَلْ تَرَكَ شَيْئًا قَالُوا لاَ قَالَ فَهَلْ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ قَالُوا ثَلاَثَةُ دَنَانِيرَ قَالَ صَلُّوا عَلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ قَالَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ صَلِّ عَلَيْهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَعَلَىَّ دَيْنُهُ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ  

[Machine] I was sitting with the Prophet ﷺ when a funeral passed by. He asked, "Did the deceased leave behind any debt?" They said, "No." He asked, "Did he leave behind anything?" They said, "No." He then performed the funeral prayer for the deceased. Then another funeral passed by and he asked the same questions, to which they replied the same answers. He then performed the funeral prayer for the second deceased. After that, a third funeral passed by and he asked the same questions. They answered, "Yes, three dinars." He then gestured with his fingers three times. Finally, they brought the third deceased and he asked the same questions. They answered, "Yes." He asked, "Did he leave behind anything?" They said, "No." He said, "Pray upon your companion." Then, a man from the Ansar said, "He had a debt on me, O Messenger of Allah." The Prophet ﷺ then performed the funeral prayer for him.  

كُنْتُ جَالِسًا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأُتِيَ بِجِنَازَةٍ فَقَالَ هَلْ تَرَكَ مِنْ دَيْنٍ؟ قَالُوا لَا قَالَ هَلْ تَرَكَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ؟ قَالُوا لَا قَالَ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ أُتِيَ بِأُخْرَى فَقَالَ هَلْ تَرَكَ مِنْ دَيْنٍ؟ قَالُوا لَا قَالَ هَلْ تَرَكَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ ثَلَاثَةَ دَنَانِيرَ قَالَ فَقَالَ بِأَصَابِعِهِ ثَلَاثَ كَيَّاتٍ قَالَ ثُمَّ أُتِيَ بِالثَّالِثَةِ فَقَالَ هَلْ تَرَكَ مِنْ دَيْنٍ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ هَلْ تَرَكَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ؟ قَالُوا لَا قَالَ صَلُّوا عَلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ عَلَيَّ دَيْنُهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ
