Sahih Muslim Hadith 4157 – Whoever Leaves

English

[4157] 14 – (1619) It was narrated from Abü Hurairah that a deceased man who owed debts would be brought to the Messenger of Mâh . He would ask: "Did he leave behind anything to pay off his debt?" If he was told that he had left behind something to pay off his debt, he would offer the funeral prayer for him, otherwise he would say: "Pray for your companion." When Allah granted him conquests, he said: "I am closer to the believers than their own selves. Whoever dies owing a debt, I will repay it, and whoever An-Nisâ' 4:176. leaves behind wealth, it is for his heirs."
