It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man died. We washed him, shrouded him, applied perfume to him and placed him for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) at the funeral place near the Station of Jibril. Then we informed the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) of the funeral prayer. He (peace and blessings be upon him) came with us a few steps, then said: "Perhaps your companion owes a debt?" The people said: Yes, two dinars. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) stepped back. Then a man among us who was called Abu Qatadah said: O Messenger of Allah, those two dinars are my responsibility. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Are they your responsibility, to be paid from your wealth, and the deceased is free of them?" He said: Yes. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) led the funeral prayer over him. After that, whenever the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) met Abu Qatadah, he would ask: "What happened to the two dinars?" until, at last, he said: O Messenger of Allah, I have paid them. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Now you have cooled his skin." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, and the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
