2- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ وَهْبٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) إِنَّهُ ذُكِرَ لَنَا أَنَّ رَجُلا مِنَ الأنْصَارِ مَاتَ وَعَلَيْهِ دِينَارَانِ دَيْناً فَلَمْ يُصَلِّ عَلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) وَقَالَ صَلُّوا عَلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ حَتَّى ضَمِنَهُمَا [عَنْهُ] بَعْضُ قَرَابَتِهِ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) ذَلِكَ الْحَقُّ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) إِنَّمَا فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ لِيَتَّعِظُوا وَلِيَرُدَّ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ وَلِئَلا يَسْتَخِفُّوا بِالدَّيْنِ وَقَدْ مَاتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) وَعَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ وَمَاتَ الْحَسَنُ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) وَعَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ وَقُتِلَ الْحُسَيْنُ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) وَعَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ.

Translation

2. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from al-Nadr ibn Suwayd from Yahya al- Halabiy for Mu‘awiyah ibn Wahab who has said the following: “I once said to abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), ‘We are told that a man from al-Ansar died while he owed two dinar to pay. The Holy Prophet, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, did not perform Salat (prayer) on his dead body and said, “You must perform Salat (prayer) on the dead body of your companion.” (It was the case) until someone of his relatives guaranteed to pay the two dinars on his behalf.’ Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), said, ‘That is the right.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘The Messenger of Allah did so to teach people a lesson to pay back the debts they owe to each other and must not take the issue of debts lightly. The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, passed away while he owed payable debts, al-Hassan (a.s.), died while he owed payable debts and Al-Husayn (a.s.), was murdered while he owed payable debts.’”
