حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّاءُ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي عَامِرٌ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي جَابِرٌ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ " أَنَّ أَبَاهُ تُوُفِّيَ وَعَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقُلْتُ : إِنَّ أَبِي تَرَكَ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنًا وَلَيْسَ عِنْدِي إِلَّا مَا يُخْرِجُ نَخْلُهُ وَلَا يَبْلُغُ مَا يُخْرِجُ سِنِينَ مَا عَلَيْهِ فَانْطَلِقْ مَعِي لِكَيْ لَا يُفْحِشَ عَلَيَّ الْغُرَمَاءُ ، فَمَشَى حَوْلَ بَيْدَرٍ مِنْ بَيَادِرِ التَّمْرِ فَدَعَا ثَمَّ آخَرَ ثُمَّ جَلَسَ عَلَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ : انْزِعُوهُ فَأَوْفَاهُمُ الَّذِي لَهُمْ وَبَقِيَ مِثْلُ مَا أَعْطَاهُمْ " .
Narrated Jabir: My father had died in debt. So I came to the Prophet and said, "My father (died) leaving unpaid debts, and I have nothing except the yield of his date palms; and their yield for many years will not cover his debts. So please come with me, so that the creditors may not misbehave with me." The Prophet went round one of the heaps of dates and invoked (Allah), and then did the same with another heap and sat on it and said, "Measure (for them)." He paid them their rights and what remained was as much as had been paid to them.

Hadith Commentary:
Through the blessed supplication of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), there was blessing (barakah) in the dates.
This is the reason for the correspondence between the chapter and the hadith.

Hadith Commentary:
From other narrations, it is understood that along with the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), Abu Bakr (radi Allahu anhu) and Umar (radi Allahu anhu) were also present. When the debt was paid off, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said to Jabir (radi Allahu anhu):
Go and inform Umar (radi Allahu anhu) that it has been paid, because Umar (radi Allahu anhu) was particularly concerned about this matter.
When he found out, he said:
I was already certain at the moment when the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) walked around the heaps (of dates) that Allah, the Exalted, would surely bless them.
“In any case, in this incident there is a great miracle of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam): by his supplication, so much blessing was placed in them that not only was the debt paid off, but dates were also left over for the household’s sustenance.”
