حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَوْهَبٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أُتِيَ بِرَجُلٍ لِيُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏

"‏ صَلُّوا عَلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ فَإِنَّ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنًا ‏"

Abdullah bin Abi Qatadah narrated from his father that:

The Prophet was brought a (deceased) man to perform Salat over. So the Prophet said: "Pray for your companion; for indeed he had a debt upon him." Abu Qatadah said: "It shall be upon me." So the Messenger of Allah said: "To pay it off?" (He said: "To pay it off.") So he performed the prayer for him.

قَوْلُهُ : ( أُتِيَ ) بِصِيغَةِ الْمَجْهُولِ ( بِرَجُلٍ ) أَيْ بِجِنَازَةِ رَجُلٍ ( صَلُّوا عَلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ فَإِنَّ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنًا ) قَالَ الْقَاضِي وَغَيْرُهُ : اِمْتِنَاعُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى الْمَدْيُونِ إِمَّا لِلتَّحْذِيرِ عَنْ الدَّيْنِ , وَالزَّجْرِ عَنْ الْمُمَاطَلَةِ , وَالتَّقْصِيرِ فِي الْأَدَاءِ , أَوْ كَرَاهَةَ أَنْ يُوقَفَ دُعَاؤُهُ بِسَبَبِ مَا عَلَيْهِ مِنْ حُقُوقِ النَّاسِ وَمَظَالِمِهِمْ. وَقَالَ الْقَاضِي اِبْنُ الْعَرَبِيِّ فِي الْعَارِضَةِ : وَامْتِنَاعُهُ مِنْ الصَّلَاةِ لِمَنْ تَرَكَ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنًا تَحْذِيرًا عَنْ التَّقَحُّمِ فِي الدُّيُونِ لِئَلَّا تَضِيعَ أَمْوَالُ النَّاسِ , كَمَا تَرَكَ الصَّلَاةَ عَلَى الْعُصَا…
