English translation

3667. It was narrated from Jâbir that his father died owing debts. "I came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: '(O Messenger of Allâh!) My father has died owing debts, and he has not left anything but what his date-palms produce. What his date-palms produce will not pay off his debts for years. Come with me, O Messenger of Allâh, so that the creditors will not be harsh with me.' The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ went to each heap, saying Salâms and supplicating for it, then sitting on it. He called the creditors and paid them off, and what was left was as much as what they had taken." (Sahih)

Arabic text

٣٦٣٧ - أَخْبَرَنَا ‌عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَلَّامٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌إِسْحَاقُ وَهُوَ الْأَزْرَقُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌زَكَرِيَّا ، عَنِ ‌الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ ‌جَابِرٍ : «أَنَّ أَبَاهُ تُوُفِّيَ وَعَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ، فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ أَبِي تُوُفِّيَ وَعَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ، وَلَمْ يَتْرُكْ إِلَّا مَا يُخْرِجُ نَخْلُهُ، وَلَا يَبْلُغُ مَا يُخْرِجُ نَخْلُهُ مَا عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الدَّيْنِ دُونَ سِنِينَ، فَانْطَلِقْ مَعِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، لِكَيْ لَا يُفْحِشَ عَلَيَّ الْغُرَّامُ، فَأَتَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدُورُ بَيْدَرًا بَيْدَرًا، فَسَلَّمَ حَوْلَهُ، وَدَعَا لَهُ، ثُمَّ جَلَسَ عَلَيْهِ، وَدَعَا الْغُرَّامَ، فَأَوْفَاهُمْ، وَبَقِيَ مِثْلُ مَا أَخَذُوا».
