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

كُنْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأُتِيَ بِجِنَازَةٍ فَقَالُوا يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ صَلِّ عَلَيْهَا قَالَ هَلْ تَرَكَ شَيْئًا؟ قَالُوا لَا قَالَ هَلْ تَرَكَ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنًا؟ قَالُوا لَا فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ أُتِيَ بِجَنَازَةٍ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ هَلْ تَرَكَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ دَيْنٍ؟ قَالُوا لَا قَالَ هَلْ تَرَكَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ؟ قَالُوا ثَلَاثَ دَنَانِيرَ قَالَ ثَلَاثُ كَيَّاتٍ قَالَ فَأُتِيَ بِالثَّالِثَةِ فَقَالَ هَلْ تَرَكَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ دَيْنٍ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ هَلْ تَرَكَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ؟ قَالُوا لَا قَالَ صَلُّوا عَلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ عَلَيَّ دَيْنُهُ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ

كُنْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأُتِيَ بِجِنَازَةٍ فَقَالُوا صَلِّ عَلَيْهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «هَلْ تَرَكَ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنًا» قَالُوا لَا قَالَ «فَهَلْ تَرَكَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ» قَالُوا ثَلَاثَةُ دَنَانِيرَ قَالَ «ثَلَاثُ كَيَّاتٍ» ثُمَّ أُتِيَ بِالثَّانِيَةِ فَقَالُوا يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلِّ عَلَيْهَا قَالَ «هَلْ تَرَكَ مِنْ دَيْنٍ» قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَهَلْ تَرَكَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ» قَالُوا لَا فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَلَيَّ دَيْنُهُ قَالَ «فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ»  

[Machine] Al-Qa'nabi narrated that Hatim narrated from Yazid who narrated from Salamah that he said: I was sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when a funeral passed by. It was said, "O Messenger of Allah, should we attend to it?" He said, "Did he leave any debt?" They said, "No." He said, "Does he owe anything?" They said, "No." So he prayed the funeral prayer. Then, while I was standing, another funeral was brought. He asked, "Does he owe anything?" They said, "No." He said, "Did he leave anything?" They said, "Yes, three dinars." He said, "Three Qiyas (measuring practitioners) then." Then we stayed as long as Allah wished, and another funeral was brought. He asked, "Did he leave anything?" They said, "No." He asked, "Does he owe anything?" They said, "Yes." He said, "Pray on your companion." Abu Qatadah said: "O Messenger of Allah, what was his debt?" So he prayed on him.  

ثنا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ ثنا حَاتِمٌ عَنْ يَزِيدَ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ كُنْتُ قَاعِدًا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَأُتِيَ بِجِنَازَةٍ فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلِّ عَلَى هَذِهِ؟ قَالَ «هَلْ تَرَكَ شَيْئًا؟» قِيلَ لَا قَالَ «هَلْ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ» قَالُوا لَا فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ فَبَيْنَا أَنَا قَائِمٌ أُتِيَ بِجِنَازَةٍ فَقَالَ «هَلْ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ؟» قَالُوا لَا قَالَ «هَلْ تَرَكَ شَيْئًا؟» قَالُوا نَعَمْ ثَلَاثَةُ دَنَانِيرَ قَالَ «ثَلَاثُ كَيَّاتٍ» ثُمَّ لَبِثْنَا مَا شَاءَ اللهُ ثُمَّ أُتِيَ بِجِنَازَةٍ فَقَالَ «هَلْ تَرَكَ شَيْئًا؟» قَالُوا لَا قَالَ «هَلْ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ؟» قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ «صَلُّوا عَلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ» قَالَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ عَلَيَّ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ دَيْنُهُ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , was brought a funeral of a man from the Ansar, to pray upon him. He asked, "Does he have any debt?" They replied, "No." He asked, "Did he leave anything behind?" They said, "Yes." So he prayed upon him and another funeral was brought, and he asked again, "Does he have any debt?" They replied, "Yes." He asked, "Did he leave anything behind?" They said, "Yes." So he prayed upon him as well. Then another funeral was brought, and he asked again, "Does he have any debt?" They replied, "Yes." He asked, "Did he leave anything behind?" They said, "No." He said, "Pray for your companion." Abu Qatadah said, "It is for me, O Messenger of Allah!" So he prayed upon him, the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ .  

أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِجِنَازَةِ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ لِيُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَ هَلْ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ؟ فَقَالُوا لَا قَالَ هَلْ تَرَكَ شَيْئًا؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ وَأُتِيَ بِجِنَازَةٍ فَقَالَ هَلْ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ هَلْ تَرَكَ شَيْئًا؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ وَأُتِيَ بِجِنَازَةٍ فَقَالَ هَلْ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ هَلْ تَرَكَ شَيْئًا؟ قَالُوا لَا قَالَ صَلُّوا عَلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ قَالَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ ؓ هُوَ عَلَيَّ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ

So, the Prophet ﷺ prayed for him accordingly as narrated by Yahya bin Sa'id and in another narration by Makkib bin Ibrahim in the other funeral procession they said, "Three dinars." So, he prayed for her.  

كُنْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأُتِيَ بِجِنَازَةٍ فَقَالُوا يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ صَلِّ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ هَلْ تَرَكَ مِنْ دَيْنٍ؟ قَالُوا لَا قَالَ فَهَلْ تَرَكَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ؟ قَالُوا لَا فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهَا ثُمَّ أُتِيَ بِجِنَازَةٍ أُخْرَى فَقَالُوا يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ صَلِّ عَلَيْهَا قَالَ هَلْ تَرَكَ عَلَيْهَا مِنْ دَيْنٍ؟ قَالُوا لَا قَالَ هَلْ تَرَكَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ؟ قَالُوا ثَلَاثَةَ دَنَانِيرَ قَالَ ثَلَاثَ كَيَّاتٍ قَالَ ثُمَّ أُتِيَ بِالثَّالِثِ فَقَالُوا يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ صَلِّ عَلَيْهَا قَالَ هَلْ تَرَكَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ دَيْنٍ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ فَهَلْ تَرَكَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ؟ قَالُوا لَا قَالَ فَصَلُّوا عَلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ صَلِّ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَيَّ دَيْنُهُ قَالَ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ هَكَذَا فِي رِوَايَةِ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ مَكِّيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فِي الْجِنَازَةِ الْأُخْرَى قَالُوا ثَلَاثَةَ دَنَانِيرَ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهَا
