Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ وَأَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْمَعْنَى قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ تُوُفِّيَ رَجُلٌ فَغَسَّلْنَاهُ وَحَنَّطْنَاهُ وَكَفَّنَّاهُ ثُمَّ أَتَيْنَا بِهِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ فَقُلْنَا تُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ فَخَطَا خُطًى ثُمَّ قَالَ أَعَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ قُلْنَا دِينَارَانِ فَانْصَرَفَ فَتَحَمَّلَهُمَا أَبُو قَتَادَةَ فَأَتَيْنَاهُ فَقَالَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ الدِّينَارَانِ عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُحِقَّ الْغَرِيمُ وَبَرِئَ مِنْهُمَا الْمَيِّتُ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بِيَوْمٍ مَا فَعَلَ الدِّينَارَانِ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا مَاتَ أَمْسِ قَالَ فَعَادَ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ الْغَدِ فَقَالَ لَقَدْ قَضَيْتُهُمَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْآنَ بَرَدَتْ عَلَيْهِ جِلْدُهُ فَقَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فَغَسَّلْنَاهُ وَقَالَ فَقُلْنَا نُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ.
English Translation
Abd al-Samad and Abu Sa'id — the meaning being the same — told us, they said: Za'idah told us, from Abdullah ibn Muhammad ibn Aqil, from Jabir, he said: A man died, and we washed him, embalmed him, and shrouded him, then we brought him to the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, to pray over him. We said: "Will you pray over him?" He took a few steps, then said: "Does he owe a debt?" We said: "Two dinars." So he turned away. Abu Qatadah took responsibility for it, so we came to him, and Abu Qatadah said: "The two dinars are upon me." The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Has the creditor's right been secured, and is the deceased free of them?" He said: "Yes." So he prayed over him. Then, a day later, he said: "What happened with the two dinars?" He said: "He only died yesterday!" He said: So he returned to him the next day, and he said: "I have paid them off." The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Now his skin has become cool." Mu'awiyah ibn Amr said in this hadith: "We washed him," and said: "We said, 'We will pray over him.'"
