2127. Narrated Jābir رضي الله عنه: 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr bin Harām died and was in debt to others. I asked the Prophet ﷺ to intercede with his creditors for some reduction in the debts. The Prophet ﷺ requested them (to reduce the debts), but they refused. The Prophet ﷺ said to me, "Go and put your dates (in heaps) according to their different kinds, the Ajwa on one side, the cluster of Zaid on another side, etc., then call me." I did that and called the Prophet ﷺ. He came and sat at the head or in the middle of the heaps and ordered me, "Measure (the dates) for the people (creditors)." I measured for them till I paid all the debts. My dates remained as if nothing had been taken from them. In other narrations, Jābir said: The Prophet ﷺ said, "He (i.e., 'Abdullāh) continued measuring for them till he paid all the debts." The Prophet ﷺ said (to 'Abdullāh), "Cut (clusters) for him (i.e., one of the creditors) and measure for him in full."

2127 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ، أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ مُغِيرَةَ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: تُوُفِّيَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَرَامٍ وَعَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ، فَاسْتَعَنْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى غُرَمَائِهِ أَنْ يَضَعُوا مِنْ دَيْنِهِ، فَطَلَبَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَلَمْ يَفْعَلُوا، فَقَالَ لِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «اذْهَبْ فَصَنِّفْ تَمْرَكَ أَصْنَافًا، العَجْوَةَ عَلَى حِدَةٍ، وَعَذْقَ زَيْدٍ عَلَى حِدَةٍ، ثُمَّ أَرْسِلْ إِلَيَّ»، فَفَعَلْتُ، ثُمَّ أَرْسَلْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَجَاءَ فَجَلَسَ عَلَى أَعْلاَهُ، أَوْ فِي وَسَطِهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «كِلْ لِلْقَوْمِ»، فَكِلْتُهُمْ حَتَّى أَوْفَيْتُهُمُ الَّذِي لَهُمْ وَبَقِيَ تَمْرِي كَأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَنْقُصْ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ وَقَالَ فِرَاسٌ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، حَدَّثَنِي جَابِرٌ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «فَمَا زَالَ يَكِيلُ لَهُمْ حَتَّى أَدَّاهُ»، وَقَالَ هِشَامٌ: عَنْ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ: النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «جُذَّ لَهُ فَأَوْفِ لَهُ»
