وَعَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ: أَتَى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِجِنَازَةٍ لِيُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَ: «هَلْ عَلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ دَيْنٌ؟» قَالُوا: نَعَمْ قَالَ: «هَلْ تَرَكَ لَهُ مِنْ وَفَاءٍ؟» قَالُوا: لَا قَالَ: «صَلُّوا عَلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ» قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ: عَلَيَّ دَيْنُهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَتَقَدَّمَ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ. وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ مَعْنَاهُ وَقَالَ: «فَكَّ اللَّهُ رِهَانَكَ مِنَ النَّارِ كَمَا فَكَكْتَ رِهَانَ أَخِيكَ الْمُسْلِمِ لَيْسَ مِنْ عَبْدٍ مُسْلِمٍ يَقْضِي عَنْ أَخِيهِ دَيْنَهُ إِلَّا فَكَّ اللَّهُ رِهَانَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ» . رَوَاهُ فِي شَرْحِ السُّنَّةِ

Abu Sa‘id al-Khudri reported: A funeral bier was brought to the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) so that he could pray over it. He asked: ‘Does your companion owe a debt?’ They said: ‘Yes.’ He asked: ‘Did he leave anything with which to repay it?’ They said: ‘No.’ He said: ‘Pray over your companion.’ ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib said: ‘I will take responsibility for his debt, Messenger of Allah.’ So he stepped forward and prayed over him. A version with a similar meaning says: ‘May Allah release you from the Fire, as you have released your Muslim brother from his debt. No Muslim servant repays his brother’s debt without Allah releasing him from his bond on the Day of Resurrection.’ It is transmitted in Sharh al-Sunnah. Its listed grading has not been studied (al-Albani).
