قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ كُنْتُ جَالِسًا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ 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 ثَلَاثَ دَنَانِيرَ قَالَ فَقَالَ بِإِصْبَعِهِ 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 مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ عَلَيَّ دَيْنُهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ.
English Translation
He said: Hammad ibn Mas'adah narrated to us, from Yazid - meaning Ibn Abi 'Ubayd - from Salamah, who said: I was sitting with the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, when a funeral bier was brought. He said: "Did he leave any debt?" They said: "No." He said: "Did he leave anything?" They said: "No." So he prayed over him. Then another was brought, and he said: "Did he leave any debt?" They said: "No." He said: "Did he leave anything?" They said: "Yes, three dinars." He said, with his finger: "Three brandings [in the Fire]." Then a third was brought, and he said: "Did he leave any debt?" They said: "Yes." He said: "Did he leave anything?" They said: "No." He said: "Pray over your companion." A man from the Ansar said: "I will take on his debt, O Messenger of Allah." So he prayed over him.
