4053. Narrated Jābir bin 'Abdullāh رضي الله عنه: that his father was martyred on the day (of the battle) of Uḥud and was in debt and left six (orphan) daughters. Jābir added, "When the season of plucking the dates came, I went to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and said, "You know that my father was martyred on the day (of the battle) of Uḥud, and he was heavily in debt, and I would like that the creditors should see you." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Go and pile every kind of dates separately." I did so and called him (the Prophet ﷺ). When the creditors saw him, they started claiming their debts from me in such a harsh manner (as they had never done before). So when he saw their attitude, he went round the biggest heap of dates thrice, and then sat over it and said, "(O Jābir), call your companions (i.e., the creditors)." Then he kept on measuring (and giving) to the creditors (their due) till Allāh paid all the debt of my father. I would have been satisfied to retain nothing of those dates for my sisters after Allāh had paid the debts of my father. But Allāh saved all the heaps (of dates), so that when I looked at the heap where the Prophet ﷺ had been sitting, it seemed as if not a single date had been taken away thereof."

4053 - حَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي سُرَيْجٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ، عَنْ فِرَاسٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي جَابِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، أَنَّ أَبَاهُ، اسْتُشْهِدَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ وَتَرَكَ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنًا، وَتَرَكَ سِتَّ بَنَاتٍ، فَلَمَّا حَضَرَ جِزَازُ النَّخْلِ قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ: قَدْ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ وَالِدِي قَدِ اسْتُشْهِدَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ وَتَرَكَ دَيْنًا كَثِيرًا، وَإِنِّي أُحِبُّ أَنْ يَرَاكَ الغُرَمَاءُ، فَقَالَ: «اذْهَبْ فَبَيْدِرْ كُلَّ تَمْرٍ عَلَى نَاحِيَةٍ»، فَفَعَلْتُ ثُمَّ دَعَوْتُهُ، فَلَمَّا نَظَرُوا إِلَيْهِ كَأَنَّهُمْ أُغْرُوا بِي تِلْكَ السَّاعَةَ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى مَا يَصْنَعُونَ أَطَافَ حَوْلَ أَعْظَمِهَا بَيْدَرًا ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ، ثُمَّ جَلَسَ عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «ادْعُ لِي أَصْحَابَكَ» فَمَا زَالَ يَكِيلُ لَهُمْ حَتَّى أَدَّى اللَّهُ عَنْ وَالِدِي أَمَانَتَهُ، وَأَنَا أَرْضَى أَنْ يُؤَدِّيَ اللَّهُ أَمَانَةَ وَالِدِي، وَلاَ أَرْجِعَ إِلَى أَخَوَاتِي بِتَمْرَةٍ، فَسَلَّمَ اللَّهُ البَيَادِرَ كُلَّهَا، وَحَتَّى إِنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى البَيْدَرِ الَّذِي كَانَ عَلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَأَنَّهَا لَمْ تَنْقُصْ تَمْرَةً وَاحِدَةً
