Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) attended a funeral. When it was placed down, it was said: He has a debt upon him. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) stepped back, so Sayyiduna Ali said: "O Messenger of Allah! I will guarantee it, in paying the debt." So the Prophet said: "O Ali! May Allah fulfill your needs just as you have fulfilled the need of your fellow Muslim brother." The people asked: "O Messenger of Allah! Is this ruling specific to Sayyiduna Ali or is it general for all the believers?" The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "It is general for all the believers."
