Jami at-Tirmidhi 2122 (Book 30, Hadith 7) #27754
Debt Before Will

SUMMARY: The Prophet (s.a.w) judged debt before will, and people recite will before debt.

Al-Harith narrated from 'Ali: "The Prophet (s.a.w) judged with the debt before the will, and you people recite the will before the debt".
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ قَضَى بِالدَّيْنِ قَبْلَ الْوَصِيَّةِ وَأَنْتُمْ تَقْرَءُونَ الْوَصِيَّةَ قَبْلَ الدَّيْنِ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ عَامَّةِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ أَنَّهُ يُبْدَأُ بِالدَّيْنِ قَبْلَ الْوَصِيَّةِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Paying off one's debts while they are still alive so that their wishes can be fulfilled after they pass away without any complications arising due to unpaid debts .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of paying off debts before fulfilling any wills or promises made by a person. The Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) taught that debt should be paid off first, and then any wills or promises can be fulfilled afterwards. This is because when a person dies, their debts must be paid off first in order for them to receive their inheritance from the deceased's estate; if there are no assets left after the debts have been paid, then there is nothing to fulfill any wills or promises with either. Therefore, it is important to pay off all of one's debts while they are still alive so that their wishes can be fulfilled after they pass away without any complications arising due to unpaid debts.
