[Machine] Jabir said, "A man passed away, so we washed him, perfumed him, and shrouded him. Then we went to the Prophet ﷺ and asked him, 'Should we offer the funeral prayer for him?' He stood up and took a few steps, then asked, 'Does he owe anything?' It was said, 'Two dinars.' He then turned away. Abu Qatadah offered to pay the debt, and we went after the Prophet ﷺ. Abu Qatadah said, 'I owe two dinars on his behalf.' The Prophet ﷺ declared, 'The debt is discharged and the deceased is free from it.' He then prayed for him, and after that, he asked him, 'What happened to the two dinars?' He replied, 'He actually passed away yesterday.' The Prophet ﷺ, as if he had returned after a day, said, 'You have actually settled both of them now.' The skin of his face brightened with joy."

[Machine] A man died, so we washed him, wrapped him in a shroud, and offered his funeral prayer. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us and prayed for him. We asked if he prays for him. He turned away and said, "Does he have any debts?" We said, "Two dinars." Then he left and Abu Qatadah took the responsibility of paying the debts. We went to him and Abu Qatadah said, "I have two dinars as his debt." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "Does the deceased owe any debts?" We replied, "Yes." So, he prayed for him and asked, "What happened to the two dinars later on?" We said, "He passed away yesterday." He then returned them to him from the next day and said, "I have paid off his debt." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "His skin has now cooled down." Mu'awiyah ibn Amr commented on this narration, "So we washed him and then he said, 'Does he have any debts?' And we said, 'Yes.'

[Machine] Jabir said, "A man passed away, so we washed and shrouded him. Then we brought him to the Prophet ﷺ to pray upon him. He stepped over a line and asked, 'Does he owe anything?' We said, 'Yes, two dinars.' He then turned away and Abu Qatadah took responsibility for them. We went to the Prophet ﷺ and Abu Qatadah said, 'He owed two dinars to me.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'The debt of the deceased has been taken care of by his good deeds, and the debtor is free from it.' Abu Qatadah said, 'Yes.' The Prophet ﷺ prayed upon him and then said, 'What did he do with the two dinars afterward?' They said, 'He died yesterday, so they came back to him as if it was tomorrow.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'I have settled them.' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ informed us in this narration that his skin has become cold due to the fulfillment of the debt. And his statement, 'The debt of the deceased has been taken care of by his good deeds, and the debtor is free from it,' if it is confirmed that Ibn Aqil preserved it, then he has brought it forward. And Allah knows best. It is your responsibility as the creditor to demand payment from them alone if you wish, just as if he had a right over you from another aspect. And the deceased is free from it, and it is your responsibility to demand payment from him alone if you wish. And Allah knows best."
