(( (Salama bin Al-Akwa narratec: …Then a third dead man was brought and the people said (to the Prophet (peace be upon him) ), please lead his funeral prayer." He said, "Has he left any wealth?" They said, "No." He asked, "Is he in debt?" They said, ("Yes! He has to pay) three Diners', He (refused to pray and) said, "Then pray for your (dead) companion." Abu Qatadah said, "O Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him)! Lead his funeral prayer, and I will pay his debt." So, he led the prayer. The following day, the Prophet, peace be upon him, asked Abi Qatadah, "Have you paid his debt?" Abu Qatadah replied, "No. not yet." On the third day, the Prophet, peace be upon him, asked Abi Qatadah, "Have you paid his debt?" Abu Qatadah replied, "No. not yet." On the fourth day, the Prophet, peace be upon him, asked Abi Qatadah, "Have you paid his debt?" Abu Qatadah replied, "Yes, I have", to which the Prophet, peace be upon him said, "His soul will be at peace now.") ))
