Chapter. Reconciliation between the creditors and between the inheritors and the repayment of debts by giving an amount that is not specified or counted.
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: My father died and was in debt. I suggested that his creditors take the fruits (i.e. dates) of my garden in lieu of the debt of my father, but they refused the offer, as they thought that it would not cover the full debt. So, I went to the Prophet and told him about it. He said (to me), "When you pluck the dates and collect them in the Mirbad (i.e. a place where dates are dried), call me (Allah's Apostle)." Finally he came accompanied by Abu Bakr and `Umar and sat on the dates and invoked Allah to bless them. Then he said, "Call your creditors and give them their full rights." So, I paid all my father's creditors in full and yet thirteen extra Wasqs of dates remained, seven of which were 'Ajwa and six were Laun or six of which were Ajwa and seven were Laun. I met Allah's Apostle at sunset and informed him about it. On that he smiled and said, "Go to Abu Bakr and `Umar and tell them about it." They said, "We perceived that was going to happen, as Allah's Apostle did what he did."
And Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: If two partners agree among themselves that one (in exchange for his share) will take the debt to be collected and the other will take the cash, then there is no harm. Now, if the share of one partner is lost (for example, the debt is not recovered), then he cannot take anything from his partner.
