A Dead Body In Debt

Posted by dien Thursday, September 09, 2004

Narrated Salama bin Al-Akwa r.a.: Once, while we were sitting in the company of Prophet, a dead body was brought, The Prophet was requested to lead the funeral Salat (prayer) for the deceased. He said, "Is he in debt" The people replied in the negative. He said, "Has he left any wealth" They said, "No." So, he led his funeral prayer. Another dead person was brought and the people said, "O Allah’s Messenger! Lead his funeral Salat (prayer)." The Prophet said, "Is he in debt" They said, "Yes." He said, "Has he left any wealth" They said, "Three Dinar." So, he led the funeral prayer. Then a third person was brought and the people said (to the Prophet), "Please lead his funeral Salat (prayer)." He said, "Has he left any wealth" They said, "No." He asked, "Is he in debt" They said, ("Yes! He has to pay) three Dinar." He [refused to offer funeral Salat (prayer) and] said, "Then offer Salat (prayer) for your (dead) companion." Abu Qatada said, "O Allah’s Messenger! Lead his funeral prayer, and I will pay his debt." So, he led the Salat (prayer).
