Muhammad ibn ‘Abdullah ibn Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: We were sitting in the courtyard of the mosque where funerals are placed, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was sitting among us. He raised his gaze to the sky, looked, then lowered his gaze and placed his hand on his forehead, saying: “Glory be to Allah, glory be to Allah, what a severe matter has descended.” We remained silent that day and night, not seeing any good until morning. Muhammad said: I asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ): “What is the severe matter that descended?” He said: “Regarding debt. By the One in Whose hand is Muhammad’s soul, if a man is killed in the way of Allah, then lives, then is killed in the way of Allah, then lives, and has a debt, he will not enter Paradise until his debt is paid.”
