Book 51: Gifts
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah:
My father was martyred on the day (of the battle) of Uhud and his creditors demanded the debt back
in a harsh manner. So I went to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and informed him of that, he asked them to accept the
fruits of my garden and excuse my father, but they refused. So, Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) did not give them the
fruits, nor did he cut them and distribute them among them, but said, “I will come to you tomorrow
morning.” So, he came to us the next morning and walked about in between the date-palms and
invoked Allah to bless their fruits. I plucked the fruits and gave back all the rights of the creditors in
full, and a lot of fruits were left for us. Then I went to Allah’s Messenger, who was sitting, and informed
him about what happened. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) told `Umar, who was sitting there, to listen to the story.
`Umar said, “Don’t we know that you are Allah’s Messenger? By Allah! you are Allah’s Messenger!”
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ،. وَقَالَ اللَّيْثُ حَدَّثَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ أَبَاهُ قُتِلَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ شَهِيدًا، فَاشْتَدَّ الْغُرَمَاءُ فِي حُقُوقِهِمْ، فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَكَلَّمْتُهُ، فَسَأَلَهُمْ أَنْ يَقْبَلُوا ثَمَرَ حَائِطِي، وَيُحَلِّلُوا أَبِي، فَأَبَوْا، فَلَمْ يُعْطِهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حَائِطِي، وَلَمْ يَكْسِرْهُ لَهُمْ، وَلَكِنْ قَالَ ” سَأَغْدُو عَلَيْكَ ”. فَغَدَا عَلَيْنَا حَتَّى أَصْبَحَ، فَطَافَ فِي النَّخْلِ، وَدَعَا فِي ثَمَرِهِ بِالْبَرَكَةِ، فَجَدَدْتُهَا، فَقَضَيْتُهُمْ حُقُوقَهُمْ، وَبَقِيَ لَنَا مِنْ ثَمَرِهَا بَقِيَّةٌ، ثُمَّ جِئْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهْوَ جَالِسٌ، فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لِعُمَرَ ” اسْمَعْ ـ وَهْوَ جَالِسٌ ـ يَا عُمَرُ ”. فَقَالَ أَلاَّ يَكُونُ قَدْ عَلِمْنَا أَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ، وَاللَّهِ إِنَّكَ لَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ.
