IMPORTANCE OF REPAYING A DEBT H 1341 "The Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, stood up and gave a sermon and said that belief in Allah and fighting (striving) in His Way were of the highest category of deeds. A man stood up and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, tell me, if I am martyred in the Way of Allah, would all my sins be removed from me?' He answered. 'Yes, if you are martyred in the Way of Allah and are patient, looking forward to your reward, marching onward; not retreating.' Then the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, asked him, 'Repeat what you said.' So the man repeated, 'Tell me, if I am martyred in the Way of Allah, would all my sins be removed from me?' He answered, 'Yes, if you are martyred when you are patient, looking forward to your reward, marching onwards not retreating. But if you owe a debt that will not be remitted, Gabriel just informed me of this.'" R 1341 Muslim with a chain up to Abu Katadah Harith son of Ribi' who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
1313- وعن أَبي قتادة رضي الله عنه : أنَّ رسولَ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم قَامَ فِيهِم فَذَكَرَ أنَّ الجِهَادَ في سَبيلِ اللهِ ، وَالإيمَانَ بِاللهِ ، أفْضَلُ الأعْمَالِ ، فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رسولَ اللهِ ، أرأيْتَ إنْ قُتِلْتُ في سَبيلِ اللهِ ، أتُكَفَّرُ عَنِّي خَطَايَايَ ؟ فَقَالَ لهُ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم : "نَعَمْ ، إنْ قُتِلْتَ في سَبيلِ الله وَأنْتَ صَابِرٌ مُحْتَسِبٌ ، مُقْبِلٌ غَيْرُ مُدْبِرٍ" ، ثُمَّ قَالَ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم : "كيْفَ قُلْتَ ؟" قَالَ : أرَأيْتَ إنْ قُتِلْتُ في سَبيلِ اللهِ ، أتُكَفَّرُ عَنِّي خَطَايَايَ ؟ فَقَالَ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم : "نَعَمْ ، وَأنْتَ صَابرٌ مُحْتَسِبٌ ، مُقْبِلٌ غَيرُ مُدْبِرٍ ، إِلاَّ الدَّيْنَ فَإنَّ جِبْريلَ تعالى قَالَ لِي ذَلِكَ" رواه مسلم .
