Ḥadīth | Ṭabarānī (الطبراني) tabarani:1953 وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حُصَيْنٍ الْقَاضِي ثنا يَحْيَى الْحِمَّانِيُّ ثنا شَرِيكٌ عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِجَابِرٍ أَكُنْتَ تُجَالِسُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ كَانَ طَوِيلَ الصَّمْتِ»
English Translation
Jabir ibn Samurah said: "When a funeral was brought to the Prophet (peace be upon him), he would ask: 'Does he have any debts?' If they said yes and there was someone to pay it, he would pray over him. Otherwise he would say: 'Pray over your companion.' When Allah granted conquests, he said: 'I am more deserving of the believers than they are themselves. Whoever dies leaving a debt, I will pay it. And whoever dies leaving wealth, it is for his heirs.'"
