Fath al-Rabbani

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abu Hadra al-Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I owed four dirhams to a Jew. He went to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to complain about me and said: O Muhammad! (peace and blessings be upon him) This man owes me four dirhams, but now he has overpowered me. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Abu Hadrad (may Allah be pleased with him): Pay him his due. He said: By the One Who has sent you with the truth! I do not have the means. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) again said to him: Pay his due. He again said: By the One in Whose hand is my soul! I do not have the means. I have told this Jew that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is sending us towards Khaybar, so we hope to obtain spoils of war and I will return and pay the debt, but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) again ordered him and said: Pay his due. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would say something three times, he would not repeat it further. Sayyiduna Ibn Abi Hadrad (may Allah be pleased with him) went to the market, he had a turban on his head and was wearing a sheet as a lower garment. He took off the turban from his head and tied it as a lower garment, and took off the sheet and came to the Jew and said: Buy this sheet from me. So he bought the sheet for four dirhams. Meanwhile, an old woman passed by and asked: O companion of the Messenger! What has happened to you? He told her the whole story. The old woman had a sheet, and after hearing his story, she threw it towards him and said: Take this sheet.
