إِذَا كَانَ لِرَجُلٍ عَلَى رَجُلٍ دَيْنٌ فَمَطَلَهُ حَتَّى مَاتَ ثُمَّ صَالَحَ وَرَثَتَهُ عَلَى شَيْءٍ فَالَّذِي أَخَذَتْهُ الْوَرَثَةُ لَهُمْ وَ مَا بَقِيَ فَلِلْمَيِّتِ حَتَّى يَسْتَوْفِيَهُ مِنْهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ وَ إِنْ هُوَ لَمْ يُصَالِحْهُمْ عَلَى شَيْءٍ حَتَّى مَاتَ وَ لَمْ يَقْضِ عَنْهُ فَهُوَ كُلُّهُ لِلْمَيِّتِ يَأْخُذُهُ بِهِ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Muhammad Bin Uzafir, from Umar Bin Yazeed, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘When there was a debt for a man upon a man, so he (debtor) delays it until he (the creditor) died, then (the debtor) reconciles with his inheritors upon something (for a lower amount to be paid), so that which the inheritors take possession of would be for them, and whatever remains from the (debt), so it is for the deceased until he may be fulfilled from it in the Hereafter; but if he does not reconcile with them upon something until he dies, and does not give (anything) from it, so all of it would be for the deceased to seize him (the borrower) with (in the Hereafter)’.
