أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ امْرَأَةً نَذَرَتْ أَنْ تَحُجَّ فَمَاتَتْ فَأَتَی أَخُوهَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ ذَلِکَ فَقَالَ أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ کَانَ عَلَی أُخْتِکَ دَيْنٌ أَکُنْتَ قَاضِيَهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَاقْضُوا اللَّهَ فَهُوَ أَحَقُّ بِالْوَفَائِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 2638
It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas that a woman vowed to perform Hajj but she died. Her brother came to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and asked him about that, he said: ‘Do you think that if your sister owed a debt you would pay it off?’ He said: ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘Then fulfill the right of Allah, for He is more deserving that His rights should be fulfilled.” (Sahih)
