2405. Narrated Jābir رضي الله عنه: When 'Abdullāh (my father) died, he left behind children and debts. I asked the lenders to put down some of his debt, but they refused, so I went to the Prophet ﷺ to intercede with them, yet they refused. The Prophet ﷺ said (to me), "Classify your dates into their different kinds: I'dhq Ibn Zaid, Lean and Ajwa, each kind separately and call all the creditors and wait till I come to you." I did so, and the Prophet ﷺ came and sat beside the dates and started measuring to each his due till he paid them fully, and the amount of dates remained as it was before, as if he had not touched them.

Arabic text

2405 - حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ مُغِيرَةَ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: أُصِيبَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، وَتَرَكَ عِيَالًا وَدَيْنًا، فَطَلَبْتُ إِلَى أَصْحَابِ الدَّيْنِ أَنْ يَضَعُوا بَعْضًا مِنْ دَيْنِهِ فَأَبَوْا، فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَاسْتَشْفَعْتُ بِهِ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَأَبَوْا، فَقَالَ: «صَنِّفْ تَمْرَكَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ مِنْهُ عَلَى حِدَتِهِ، عِذْقَ ابْنِ زَيْدٍ عَلَى حِدَةٍ، وَاللِّينَ عَلَى حِدَةٍ، وَالعَجْوَةَ عَلَى حِدَةٍ، ثُمَّ أَحْضِرْهُمْ حَتَّى آتِيَكَ»، فَفَعَلْتُ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَعَدَ عَلَيْهِ، وَكَالَ لِكُلِّ رَجُلٍ حَتَّى اسْتَوْفَى، وَبَقِيَ التَّمْرُ كَمَا هُوَ، كَأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُمَسَّ
