[Machine] There was a man who said to Abu Hamzah, "If you were to tell us a hadith that Allah may benefit us with." He said, "Whoever among you is able to die without any debt, then let him do so. For I have witnessed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ perform the funeral prayer for a man and he asked, 'Does he have any debt?' They replied, 'Yes.' He then said, 'What benefit is there for me to pray for a person whose soul is still bound in his grave and cannot ascend to Allah? If a man's debt is guaranteed, I get up and perform the funeral prayer for him.' So, my prayer is beneficial for him."
