English translation

3670. It was narrated that Jâbir bin 'Abdullâh said: "My father died owing debts. I offered to his creditors that they could take the fruits in lieu of what he owed them, but they refused as they thought that it would not cover the debt. I went to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and told him about that, He said: 'When you pick the dates and have put them in the Mirbad (place for drying dates), call me.' When I had picked the dates and put them in the Mirbad, I went to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and he came, accompanied by Abû Bakr and 'Umar. He sat on (the dates) and prayed for blessing. Then he said: 'Call your creditors and pay them off.' I did not leave anyone to whom my father owed anything but I paid him off, and I had thirteen Wasqs left over. I mentioned that to him and he smiled and said: 'Go to Abû Bakr and 'Umar and tell them about that.' So I went to Abû Bakr and 'Umar and told them about that, and they said: 'We knew, when the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ did what he did, that this would happen.'" (Sahîh)

3640 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، عَنْ حَدِيثِ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: تُوُفِّيَ أَبِي وَعَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ، فَعَرَضْتُ عَلَى غُرَمَائِهِ أَنْ يَأْخُذُوا الثَّمَرَةَ بِمَا عَلَيْهِ فَأَبَوْا، وَلَمْ يَرَوْا فِيهِ وَفَاءً، فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ، قَالَ: «إِذَا جَدَدْتَهُ فَوَضَعْتَهُ فِي الْمِرْبَدِ فَآذِنِّي»، فَلَمَّا جَدَدْتُهُ وَوَضَعْتُهُ فِي الْمِرْبَدِ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَجَاءَ وَمَعَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ، فَجَلَسَ عَلَيْهِ وَدَعَا بِالْبَرَكَةِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «ادْعُ غُرَمَاءَكَ فَأَوْفِهِمْ»، قَالَ: فَمَا تَرَكْتُ أَحَدًا لَهُ عَلَى أَبِي دَيْنٌ إِلَّا قَضَيْتُهُ، وَفَضَلَ لِي ثَلَاثَةَ عَشَرَ وَسْقًا، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَضَحِكَ وَقَالَ: «ائْتِ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ، فَأَخْبِرْهُمَا ذَلِكَ»، فَأَتَيْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُمَا، فَقَالَا: قَدْ عَلِمْنَا إِذْ صَنَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا صَنَعَ أَنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ ذَلِكَ
