(The refusal of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, to perform the funeral prayer for a debtor)
Hadith Number: 2913
2913 - عن ابي هريرة - رضي الله عنه - قال: كان رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - يؤتى بالرجل المتوفى عليه الدين فيسال: هل ترك لدينه قضاء؟ فإن حدث انه ترك وفاء صلى وإلا قال للمسلمين:"صلوا على صاحبكم"، فلما فتح الله عليه الفتوح قام فقال: انا اولى من المؤمنين من انفسهم، فمن توفي من المؤمنين فترك دينا فعلي قضاؤه ، ومن ترك مالا فهو لورثته". متفق عليه.
Abu Huraira said that:A man who had died in debt would be brought to God’s Messenger and he would ask whether he had left any-thing to discharge his debt. If he was told ^that he had left enough he would pray, otherwise he would tell the Muslims to pray over their friend. But when God wrought the conquests at his hands he stood up and said,“I am closer to the believers than their own selves (Al-Qur’an 33:6), so if any of the believers dies leaving a debt I shall be responsible for paying it, and if anyone leaves property it goes to his heirs.”(Bukhari and Muslim.)
