Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ الْأَطْوَلِ قَالَ مَاتَ أَخِي وَتَرَكَ ثَلَاثَ مِائَةِ دِينَارٍ وَتَرَكَ وَلَدًا صِغَارًا فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أُنْفِقَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِن
َّ أَخَاكَ مَحْبُوسٌ بِدَيْنِهِ فَاذْهَبْ فَاقْضِ عَنْهُ قَالَ فَذَهَبْتُ فَقَضَيْتُ عَنْهُ ثُمَّ جِئْتُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ قَضَيْتُ عَنْهُ وَلَمْ يَبْقَ إِلَّا امْرَأَةً تَدَّعِي دِينَارَيْنِ وَلَيْسَتْ لَهَا بَيِّنَةٌ قَالَ أَعْطِهَا فَإِنَّهَا صَادِقَةٌ

English Translation
Sulaymān ibn Ḥarb narrated to us: Ḥammād ibn Salamah narrated to us, from ʿAbd al-Malik Abū Jaʿfar, from Abū Naḍrah, from Saʿd ibn al-Aṭwal, he said: My brother died leaving three hundred dinars and young children. I wanted to spend on them, but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: 'Your brother is held back by his debt. Go and pay it off on his behalf.' So I went and paid it off, then came and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I have paid it off, and there remains only a woman claiming two dinars but she has no proof.' He said: 'Give her, for she is truthful.'
