عَنْ جَابِرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ لِفُلَانٍ فِي حَائِطِي عَذْقًا وَأَنَّهُ قَدْ آذَانِي وَشَقَّ عَلَيَّ مَكَانُ عَذْقِهِ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ ((بِعْنِي عَذْقَكَ الَّذِي فِي حَائِطِ فُلَانٍ)) قَالَ لَا قَالَ ((فَهَبْهُ لِي)) قَالَ لَا قَالَ ((فَبِعْنِيهِ بِعَذْقٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ)) قَالَ لَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ((مَا رَأَيْتُ الَّذِي هُوَ أَبْخَلُ مِنْكَ إِلَّا الَّذِي يَبْخَلُ بِالسَّلَامِ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: In my garden, there is a date palm tree belonging to such-and-such person, and indeed, he has caused me distress, and the place of his tree has become a source of hardship for me. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent a message to that person, asking him to sell his date palm tree, which is in the other man's garden, to him. But he said: No. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then gift it to me. He said: No. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then sell it to me in exchange for a date palm tree in Paradise. He said: No. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I have not seen anyone more miserly than you, except the one who is miserly in greeting (saying Salam).
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The demand of eagerness was indeed that this offer of the Noble Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) should have been accepted; nevertheless, temperaments differ, and the owner also has the right of choice.
