Sayyiduna Buraydah (may Allah be pleased with him) states: Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had arrived in Madinah. Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) brought a tray on which there were dates. Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) placed it before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "O Salman, what is this?" He said: "This is charity for you and for your companions." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Take it away, for we do not eat charity." Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) took it away. Then the next day he brought similar things and placed them before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What is this, O Salman?" Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "This is a gift for you." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to his companions: "Stretch out your hands." The narrator says: Then Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) looked at the Seal of Prophethood of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), which was on his back, and he believed in the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He was owned by the Jews. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) bought him for such and such a number of dirhams, and on the condition that he would plant palm trees and Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) would keep working in that orchard until the fruit of those trees became fit to eat. The narrator states: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) planted the palm trees himself, except for one sapling, which Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) had planted. That year all those trees bore fruit, except one tree which did not. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Who planted this?" Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Messenger of Allah, I planted it." The narrator says: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) pulled it out and then planted it himself, and that same year it too bore fruit.
Imam Ahmad and Imam al-Bazzar recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
