Hadith #50069
وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُؤْتَى بِالرَّجُلِ الْمُتَوَفَّى عَلَيْهِ الدِّينُ فَيَسْأَلُ: «هَلْ تَرَكَ لِدَيْنِهِ قَضَاءً؟» فَإِنْ حُدِّثَ أَنَّهُ تَرَكَ وَفَاءً صَلَّى وَإِلَّا قَالَ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ: «صَلُّوا عَلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ» . فَلَمَّا فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ الْفُتُوحَ قَامَ فَقَالَ: «أَنَا أَوْلَى بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ فَمَنْ تُوفِّيَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَتَرَكَ دينا فعلي قَضَاؤُهُ وَمن ترك فَهُوَ لوَرثَته»
On the authority of Abu Hurairah, he said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, used to bring a deceased man who owed a debt and ask: “Did he leave a debt to pay off?” If it happens that he has omitted to fulfill his duty, he will pray. Otherwise, he will say to the Muslims: “Pray for your companion.” When God granted him victory Al-Futuh stood up and said: “I have more right to the believers than they themselves. Whoever of the believers dies and leaves behind a debt, it is up to me to pay it off, and whoever leaves it, it belongs to his heirs.”
