أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَوْهَبٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ أُتِيَ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لِيُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ عَلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ دَيْنًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ أَنَا أَتَكَفَّلُ بِهِ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ بِالْوَفَاءِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ بِالْوَفَاءِ ‏.‏

Translation

ʿAbdullah ibn Abi Qatadah reported from his father that a man from the Ansar was brought to the Prophet for the funeral prayer. The Prophet said that their companion was in debt. Abu Qatadah said he would guarantee repayment. The Prophet asked whether he guaranteed it in full, and Abu Qatadah affirmed that he did.
