حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سَلَمَةُ بْنُ الْأَكْوَعِ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ 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 (١)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I was sitting with the Prophet (ﷺ) when a funeral was brought. The Prophet (ﷺ) asked: “Did he leave behind any debt?” The people replied, “No.” The Prophet (ﷺ) asked: “Did he leave any inheritance?” The people replied, “No.” The Prophet (ﷺ) led his funeral prayer. Then another funeral was brought and the Prophet (ﷺ) asked the same: “Did he leave behind any debt?” The people replied, “No.” The Prophet (ﷺ) asked: “Did he leave any inheritance?” The people replied, “Yes, three dinars.” The Prophet (ﷺ) pointed towards his fingers and said: “Three marks of Hell.” Then a third funeral was brought and the Prophet (ﷺ) asked as before: “Did he leave behind any debt?” The people replied, “Yes!” Then he asked: “Did he leave any inheritance?” The people replied, “No!” The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Then you should offer the funeral prayer of your companion yourselves.” At this, an Ansari companion whose name was Abu Qatadah said: “O Messenger of Allah! His debt is upon me.” So the Prophet (ﷺ) led his funeral prayer as well.
