جابر
English Translation
Jabir (RA) (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that a man from among us died, so we washed, embalmed and shrouded him. We then brought him to Allah's Messenger ﷺ and asked him to pray over him. He went forward some steps and then asked, "Does he have any debt against him?" We replied, "Two Dinars." He turned away, but Abu Qatada (RA) took upon himself the bearing of them. We then came to him (again) (ﷺ) and Abu Qatada (RA) said: "I shall discharge the two Dinars." Allah's Messenger ﷺ thereupon said, " a right to the creditor; and the dead man will then be free from them?" He replied, "Yes." So, he prayed over him. .
