Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah bin Rabi’i (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A funeral was brought before the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) so that he might lead the funeral prayer. The Prophet (peace be upon him) inquired:“Does he have any debt?”The people replied:“He owes two dinars.”The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:“You perform the funeral prayer of your companion.”Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) said:“O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)! The payment of these two (dinars) is upon me.”So the Prophet (peace be upon him) stepped forward and led the funeral prayer for him.
