Compiled by Imam Abu Dawud as-Sijistani
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ سَمْعَانَ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ، قَالَ خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ " هَا هُنَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ بَنِي فُلاَنٍ " . فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ أَحَدٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ " هَا هُنَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ بَنِي فُلاَنٍ " . فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ أَحَدٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ " هَا هُنَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ بَنِي فُلاَنٍ " . فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ . فَقَالَ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تُجِيبَنِي فِي الْمَرَّتَيْنِ الأُولَيَيْنِ أَمَا إِنِّي لَمْ أُنَوِّهْ بِكُمْ إِلاَّ خَيْرًا إِنَّ صَاحِبَكُمْ مَأْسُورٌ بِدَيْنِهِ " . فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ أَدَّى عَنْهُ حَتَّى مَا بَقِيَ أَحَدٌ يَطْلُبُهُ بِشَىْءٍ . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ سَمْعَانُ بْنُ مُشَنَّجٍ .
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) addressed us and said: Is here any one of such and such tribe present? But no one replied. He again asked: Is here any one of such and such tribe present? But no one replied. He again asked: Is here any one of such and such tribe? Then a man stood and said: I am (here), Messenger of Allah. He said: What prevented you from replying the first two times? I wish to tell you something good. Your companion has been detained (from entering Paradise) on account of his debt. Then I saw him that he paid off all his debt on his behalf and there remained no one to demand from him anything. Abu Dawud said: The name of the narrator Sam'an is Sam'an b. Mushannaj.
