Hadith of Sa'd ibn Al-Atwal (may Allah be pleased with him)

حَدِيثُ سَعْدِ بْنِ الْأَطْوَلِ (١)، ١٧٢٢٧ - حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (٢) ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ الْأَطْوَلِ، قَالَ: مَاتَ أَخِي وَتَرَكَ ثَلَاثَ مِائَةِ دِينَارٍ، وَتَرَكَ وَلَدًا (٣) صِغَارًا، فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أُنْفِقَ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّ أَخَاكَ مَحْبُوسٌ بِدَيْنِهِ، فَاذْهَبْ (٤) ، فَاقْضِ عَنْهُ ". قَالَ: فَذَهَبْتُ، فَقَضَيْتُ عَنْهُ، ثُمَّ جِئْتُ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَدْ قَضَيْتُ عَنْهُ، وَلَمْ يَبْقَ إِلَّا امْرَأَةً تَدَّعِي (٥) دِينَارَيْنِ، وَلَيْسَتْ لَهَا بَيِّنَةٌ. قَالَ: " أَعْطِهَا، فَإِنَّهَا صَادِقَةٌ " (٦)، ،

It is narrated from Sa’d bin Atwal (may Allah be pleased with him) that my brother passed away, leaving behind three hundred dinars and small children. I wanted to spend something on them, but the Prophet (ﷺ) said: Your brother has died in debt, so go and pay off his debt first. So I went and paid off his debt, then I came and submitted, O Messenger of Allah! (ﷺ) I have paid all my brother’s debts, and except for one woman, no creditor remains; she claims two dinars but has no witness. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Consider her truthful and pay her debt as well.
