حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ: كُنْتُ جَالِسًا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأُتِيَ بِجِنَازَةٍ فَقَالَ: «هَلْ تَرَكَ مِنْ دَيْنٍ؟» ، قَالُوا: لَا، قَالَ: «هَلْ تَرَكَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ؟» ، قَالُوا: لَا، قَالَ: فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ أُتِيَ بِأُخْرَى فَقَالَ: «هَلْ تَرَكَ مِنْ دَيْنٍ؟» ، قَالُوا: لَا، قَالَ: «هَلْ تَرَكَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ؟» ، قَالُوا: نَعَمْ، ثَلَاثَةَ دَنَانِيرَ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ: بِأَصَابِعِهِ ثَلَاثَ كَيَّاتٍ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ أُتِيَ بِالثَّالِثَةِ، فَقَالَ: «هَلْ تَرَكَ مِنْ دَيْنٍ؟» ، قَالُوا: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: «هَلْ تَرَكَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ؟» ، قَالُوا: لَا، قَالَ: «صَلُّوا عَلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ» ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ: عَلَيَّ دَيْنُهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ
English translation
Salamah ibn al-Akwaʿ (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I was sitting with the Prophet (ﷺ) ﷺ when a bier was brought forward. He asked, “Did he leave any debt?” They said, “No.” He asked, “Did he leave any wealth?” They said, “No.” So he offered the funeral prayer for him. Then another bier was brought. He asked, “Did he leave any debt?” They said, “No.” He asked, “Did he leave any wealth?” They said, “Yes, three dinars.” He gestured with his fingers, indicating three brandings. Then a third bier was brought. He asked, “Did he leave any debt?” They said, “Yes.” He asked, “Did he leave any wealth?” They said, “No.” He said, “Pray over your companion.” A man from the Anṣār said, “I will bear his debt, Messenger of Allah.” So he led the funeral prayer for him.
