\nNarrated Salama bin Al-Akwa`:\n \n\nA dead person was brought to the Prophet (ﷺ) so that he might lead the funeral prayer for him. He asked, \n"Is he in debt?" When the people replied in the negative, he led the funeral prayer. Another dead \nperson was brought and he asked, "Is he in debt?" They said, "Yes." He (refused to lead the prayer \nand) said, "Lead the prayer of your friend." Abu Qatada said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I undertake to pay \nhis debt." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) then led his funeral prayer.\n
