Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A man said: "O Messenger of Allah! So-and-so has a date palm, and I want to set up the wall of my garden with it. So command him to give it to me so that I can set up the wall of my garden with it." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said (to that man): "Give him that palm in exchange for a date palm in Paradise." That man refused. Sayyiduna Abu al-Dahdah (may Allah be pleased with him) went to that man and said: "Sell me that palm of yours in exchange for my garden." He did so. Sayyiduna Abu al-Dahdah (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! I have bought that palm in exchange for my garden, so give that palm to the man concerned; I have presented it to you." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "How many heavy clusters of dates Abu al-Dahdah has in Paradise!" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said this several times. The narrator says: Sayyiduna Abu al-Dahdah (may Allah be pleased with him) came to his wife and said: "O Umm al-Dahdah! Come out of this garden, for I have sold it in exchange for a date palm in Paradise." She said: "This is a profitable deal," or she said some similar word.
Ahmad and al-Tabarani recorded it, and the narrators of both are the narrators of the Sahih.
