Tirmidhi Book 10, Hadith 1069
حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَوْهَبٍ، قَال: سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ يُحَدِّثُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُتِيَ بِرَجُلٍ لِيُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: صَلُّوا عَلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ فَإِنَّ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنًا ، قَالَ: أَبُو قَتَادَةَ: هُوَ عَلَيَّ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: بِالْوَفَاءِ ، قَالَ: بِالْوَفَاءِ، فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ. قَالَ: وَفِي الْبَاب، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، وَسَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْأَكْوَعِ، وَأَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ يَزِيدَ. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى: حَدِيثُ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.
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.
