2446. It was narrated that Ibn-ʿAbbās said: "The Prophet of Allāh ﷺ was in need of food, and news of that reached ʿAli. He went out seeking work so that he could earn something, to give to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. He came to a garden belonging to a Jewish man, and he drew seventeen buckets of water for him, each bucket for a date. The Jew gave him the option to take seventeen of his ʿAjwah dates (a high quality of dates) and he brought them to the Prophet of Allāh ﷺ." (Daʿif)

Arabic text

2446 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى الصَّنْعَانِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ حَنَشٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: «أَصَابَ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَصَاصَةٌ، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ عَلِيًّا، فَخَرَجَ يَلْتَمِسُ عَمَلًا يُصِيبُ فِيهِ شَيْئًا لِيُقِيتَ بِهِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَتَى بُسْتَانًا لِرَجُلٍ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ، فَاسْتَقَى لَهُ سَبْعَةَ عَشَرَ دَلْوًا، كُلُّ دَلْوٍ بِتَمْرَةٍ، فَخَيَّرَهُ الْيَهُودِيُّ مِنْ تَمْرِهِ، سَبْعَ عَشَرَةَ عَجْوَةً، فَجَاءَ بِهَا إِلَى نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ»
