Sunan al-Nasa'i — The Book of Funerals

“The Prophet would not pray for a man who owed a debt. A deceased person was brought to him and he said: ‘Does he owe any debt?’ They said: ‘Yes, he owes two Dinars.’ He said: ‘Pray for your companion.’ Abu Qatadah said: ‘I will pay them, O Messenger of Alllah, So he prayed for him. Then, when Allah made His Messenger rich though conquest, he said: ‘ I am closer to each believer than his own self. Whoever leaves behind a debt, I will pay it, and whoever leaves behind wealth, it is for his heirs.”

if a believer died with debts outstanding, the Messenger of Allah would ask whether he had left behind anything to pay off his debts. If they said yes, he would pray for him, but if they said no, he would say: “Pray for your companion.” Then, when Allah made His Messenger rich through conquest, he said: “I am closer to the believers than their own selves. Whoever dies and leaves behind a debt, I will pay it, and whoever leavers behind wealth, it is for his heirs.”

The Messenger of Allah brought it (the money) and gave it to him, then he said: ‘Start with yourself and if there is anything left, give it to our family. If there is anything left after your family (has been taken care of), then give it to your relatives. If there is anything left after your relatives (have been taken care of), then (give it) to such and such, saying: ‘In front of you and to your right and to your left.”‘ (Shih)

If they do that, then forsake them in their beds and hit them, but without causing injury or leaving a mark. If they obey you, then do not seek means of annoyance against them. You have rights over your women and your women have rights over you.

And their right over you are that you should treat them kindly with regard to their clothing and food.’ ”
