أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ بْنُ عَبْدَانَ، أَنْبَأَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، ثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، ثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ، ثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ صَدَقَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ، قَالَ:
شَهِدْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: الْحَمْدُ لِلهِ الَّذِي حَبَسَ السَّمَاءَ أَنْ تَقَعَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ: يَا أَبَا حَمْزَةَ لَوْ حَدَّثْتَنَا حَدِيثًا عَسَى اللهُ أَنْ يَنْفَعَنَا بِهِ، قَالَ: مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَمُوتَ وَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ فَلْيَفْعَلْ؛ فَإِنِّي شَهِدْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَأُتِيَ بِجِنَازَةٍ رَجُلٍ لِيُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: " عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ ؟ " قَالُوا: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: فَمَا يَنْفَعُهُ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ عَلَى رَجُلٍ رُوحُهُ مُرْتَهَنٌ فِي قَبْرِهِ لَا تَصْعَدُ رُوحُهُ إِلَى اللهِ فَلَوْ ضَمِنَ رَجُلٌ دَيْنَهُ قُمْتُ فَصَلَّيْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَإِنَّ صَلَاتِي تَنْفَعُهُ

I was present with Anas b. Mālik while he was saying: "Praise be to Allah, who holds the sky from falling upon the earth except by His permission." A man said to him: "O Abū Ḥamzah, if only you would narrate to us a hadith, perhaps Allah would benefit us by it." He said: "Whoever among you is able to die without owing a debt, let him do so. For I was present with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when the funeral of a man was brought to him so that he might pray over him. He said: "Does he owe a debt?" They said: "Yes." He said: "What benefit is it to him that I pray over a man whose soul is held in pledge in his grave, his soul not ascending to Allah? If a man were to guarantee his debt, I would stand and pray over him, for my prayer would benefit him."
