أَخْبَرَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الثَّوْرِيُّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ سَمْعَانَ عَنْ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ کُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي جِنَازَةٍ فَقَالَ أَهَا هُنَا مِنْ بَنِي فُلَانٍ أَحَدٌ ثَلَاثًا فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا مَنَعَکَ فِي الْمَرَّتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ أَنْ لَا تَکُونَ أَجَبْتَنِي أَمَا إِنِّي لَمْ أُنَوِّهْ بِکَ إِلَّا بِخَيْرٍ إِنَّ فُلَانًا لِرَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ مَاتَ مَأْسُورًا بِدَيْنِهِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4700
It was narrated that Samurah said: “We were with the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم at a funeral, and he said: ‘Is there anyone from banu SO and so here?’ He said this three times. Then a man stood up, and he said to him: ‘What kept you from answering the first two times? I am not going to say anything but good to you. so and so (mentioning the name of a man from among them) has died and he is being detained (from entering Paradise) because of his debt.”(Da’if)
