QuizTime(199) Who paid the debts of  prophet Muhammed(pbuh) after his death  ?

 

 

Ans:  Abu Bakr(R.a)

Aa’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, narrated, “The Prophet (pbuh) died while his shield was mortgaged with a Jew for 30 Saa’ of wheat (a Saa’ equals approximately one and a half kilograms).” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

There were different narrations regarding who paid the debt of the Prophet(pbuh)   and whether it was Abu Bakr or ‘Ali, may Allah be pleased with them.

Ibn Hajar (r.h) said, “Ibn At-Tallaa’ mentioned in Al-Aqdhiyah An-Nabawiyyah that Abu Bakr paid the mortgage for the shield after the death of the Prophet (pbuh) . 

However, Ibn Sa’d reported from Jaabir that Abu Bakr fulfilled the promises of the Prophet (pbuh)  whereas ‘Ali settled his debts. On the other hand, Is-haaq ibn Raahawayh reported in his Musnad from Ash-Sha’bi that Abu Bakr paid the mortgage for the shield and gave it to ‘Ali ibn Abi Taalib...”
