2601. Narrated Jābir bin 'Abdullāh رضي الله عنهما: My father was martyred on the day (of the battle) of Uhud and his creditors demanded the debt back in a harsh manner. So, I went to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and informed him of that, he asked them to accept the fruits of my garden and excuse my father, but they refused. So, Allāh's Messenger ﷺ did not give them the fruits, nor did he cut them and distribute it among them, but said, "I will come to you tomorrow morning." So, he came to us the next morning and walked about in between the date-palms and invoked Allāh to bless their fruits. I plucked the fruits and gave back all the rights of the creditors in full, and a lot of fruits were left for us. Then I went to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ, who was sitting, and informed him about what happened. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ told 'Umar, who was sitting there, to listen to the story. 'Umar said, "Don't we know that you are Allāh's Messenger? By Allāh! You are Allāh's Messenger!"

2601 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ، وَقَالَ اللَّيْثُ: حَدَّثَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، أَخْبَرَهُ: أَنَّ أَبَاهُ قُتِلَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ شَهِيدًا، فَاشْتَدَّ الغُرَمَاءُ فِي حُقُوقِهِمْ، فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَكَلَّمْتُهُ، فَسَأَلَهُمْ أَنْ يَقْبَلُوا ثَمَرَ حَائِطِي، وَيُحَلِّلُوا أَبِي، فَأَبَوْا، فَلَمْ يُعْطِهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَائِطِي وَلَمْ يَكْسِرْهُ لَهُمْ، وَلَكِنْ قَالَ: «سَأَغْدُو عَلَيْكَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ»، فَغَدَا عَلَيْنَا حِينَ أَصْبَحَ، فَطَافَ فِي النَّخْلِ وَدَعَا فِي ثَمَرِهِ بِالْبَرَكَةِ، فَجَدَدْتُهَا فَقَضَيْتُهُمْ حُقُوقَهُمْ، وَبَقِيَ لَنَا مِنْ ثَمَرِهَا بَقِيَّةٌ، ثُمَّ جِئْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ، فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِعُمَرَ: «اسْمَعْ، وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ، يَا عُمَرُ»، فَقَالَ: أَلَّا يَكُونُ؟ قَدْ عَلِمْنَا أَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهِ، إِنَّكَ لَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ
