2709. Narrated Jābir bin 'Abdullāh رضي الله عنه. My father died and was in debt. I suggested that his creditors take the fruits voices grew very loud. The Prophet ﷺ passed by them and said, "O Ka'b," beckoning with his hand as if intending to say, "Deduct half the debts." So, Ka'b took half what the other owed him and remitted the other half.

٢٧٠٩ - حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ: حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ، عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ ﵄ قَالَ: «تُوُفِّيَ أَبِي وَعَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ، فَعَرَضْتُ عَلَى غُرَمَائِهِ أَنْ يَأْخُذُوا التَّمْرَ بِمَا عَلَيْهِ فَأَبَوْا، وَلَمْ يَرَوْا أَنَّ فِيهِ وَفَاءً، فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ، فَقَالَ: إِذَا جَدَدْتَهُ فَوَضَعْتَهُ فِي الْمِرْبَدِ آذَنْتَُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، فَجَاءَ وَمَعَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ، فَجَلَسَ عَلَيْهِ وَدَعَا بِالْبَرَكَةِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: ادْعُ غُرَمَاءَكَ فَأَوْفِهِمْ، فَمَا تَرَكْتُ أَحَدًا لَهُ عَلَى أَبِي دَيْنٌ إِلَّا قَضَيْتُهُ، وَفَضَلَ ثَلَاثَةَ عَشَرَ وَسْقًا، سَبْعَةٌ عَجْوَةٌ وَسِتَّةٌ لَوْنٌ، أَوْ سِتَّةٌ عَجْوَةٌ وَسَبْعَةٌ لَوْنٌ، فَوَافَيْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الْمَغْرِبَ، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَضَحِكَ، فَقَالَ: ائْتِ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ فَأَخْبِرْهُمَا، فَقَالَا: لَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا إِذْ صَنَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا صَنَعَ أَنْ سَيَكُونُ ذَلِكَ» وَقَالَ هِشَامٌ، عَنْ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ: صَلَاةَ الْعَصْرِ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ أَبَا بَكْرٍ، وَلَا ضَحِكَ، وَقَالَ: وَتَرَكَ أَبِي عَلَيْهِ ثَلَاثِينَ وَسْقًا دَيْنًا. وَقَالَ ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ: صَلَاةَ الظُّهْرِ.
