عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ : خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ إِلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ لِيُقَاتِلَهُمْ . قَالَ لِي أَبِي : يَا جَابِرُ ، لَا عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تَكُونَ فِي نَظَّارِي أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ حَتَّى تَعْلَمَ إِلَى مَا يَصِيرُ أَمْرُنَا ، فَإِنِّي وَاللَّهِ لَوْلَا [ أَنِّي ] أَتْرُكُ بَنَاتٍ لِي بَعْدِي لَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ تُقْتَلَ بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ . قَالَ : فَبَيْنَا أَنَا فِي النَّظَّارِينَ إِذْ جَاءَتْ عَمَّتِي بِأَبِي وَخَالِي عَادِلَتَهُمَا عَلَى نَاضِحٍ ، فَدَخَلَتْ بِهِمَا الْمَدِينَةَ لِنَدْفِنَهُمَا فِي مَقَابِرِنَا إِذْ لَحِقَ رَجُلٌ يُنَادِي : [ أَلَا ] إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَأْمُرُكُمَا أَنْ تَرْجِعُوا بِالْقَتْلَى فَيُدْفَنُوا فِي مَصَارِعِهِمَا ، حَيْثُ قُتِلُوا ، فَرَجَعْنَاهُمَا ، فَدَفَنَّاهُمَا حَيْثُ قُتِلَا . فَبَيْنَا أَنَا فِي خِلَافَةِ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ إِذْ جَاءَنِي رَجُلٌ ، فَقَالَ : يَا جَابِرُ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، لَقَدْ أَثَارَ أَبَاكَ عُمَّالَ مُعَاوِيَةَ [ فَبَدَا ] ؛ فَخَرَّجَ طَائِفَةً مِنْهُ ، فَأَتَيْتُهُ ، فَوَجَدْتُهُ عَلَى النَّحْوِ الَّذِي دَفَنْتَهُ لَمْ يَتَغَيَّرْ إِلَّا مَا لَمْ يَدَعِ الْقَتْلُ أَوِ الْقَتِيلُ . فَوَارَيْتُهُ . قَالَ : وَتَرَكَ أَبِي دَيْنًا عَلَيْهِ مِنَ التَّمْرِ فَاشْتَدَّ عَلَيَّ بَعْضُ غُرَمَائِهِ فِي التَّقَاضِي ، فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقُلْتُ : يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّ أَبِي أُصِيبَ يَوْمَ كَذَا وَكَذَا وَعَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ مِنَ التَّمْرِ ، وَقَدِ اشْتَدَّ عَلَيَّ بَعْضُ غُرَمَائِهِ فِي التَّقَاضِي فَأُحِبُّ أَنْ تُعِينَنِي عَلَيْهِ لَعَلَّهُ أَنْ يُنْظِرَنِي طَائِفَةً مِنْ نَخْلِهِ إِلَى هَذَا الصِّرَامِ الْمُقْبِلِ . قَالَ : " نَعَمْ آتِيكَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ قَرِيبًا مِنْ وَسَطِ النَّهَارِ " . فَجَاءَ ، وَجَاءَ مَعَهُ حَوَارِيُّوهُ ، وَقَدِ اسْتَأْذَنَ ، وَدَخَلَ ، وَقَدْ قُلْتُ لِامْرَأَتِي : إِنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - جَاءَ الْيَوْمَ فَلَا أَرَيْتُكِ ، وَلَا تُؤْذِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فِي بَيْتِي فِي شَيْءٍ ، وَلَا تُكَلِّمِيهِ ، فَدَخَلَ ، فَفَرَشَتْ لَهُ فِرَاشًا وَوِسَادَةً ، فَوَضَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَنَامَ .
قَالَ : وَقُلْتُ لِمَوْلًى لِي : اذْبَحْ هَذِهِ الْعَنَاقَ وَهِيَ دَاجِنٌ سَمِينَةٌ ، وَالْوَحَاءَ وَالْعَجَلَ ، افْرُغْ مِنْهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَسْتَيْقِظَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، وَأَنَا مَعَكَ . فَلَمْ يَزَلْ فِيهَا حَتَّى فَرَغْنَا ، وَهُوَ نَائِمٌ ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - إِذَا اسْتَيْقَظَ يَدْعُو بِالطَّهُورِ ، وَإِنِّي أَخَافُ إِذَا فَرَغَ أَنْ يَقُومَ فَلَا يَفْرَغَنَّ مِنْ وُضُوئِهِ إِلَّا وَالْعَنَاقُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ . فَلَمَّا قَامَ قَالَ : " يَا جَابِرُ ، ائْتِنِي بِطَهُورٍ " . فَلَمْ يَفْرُغْ مِنْ طَهُورِهِ حَتَّى وُضِعَتِ الْعَنَاقُ عِنْدَهُ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ : " كَأَنَّكَ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ حُبَّنَا اللَّحْمَ ، ادْعُ إِلَيَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ " . قَالَ : ثُمَّ جَاءَ حَوَارِيُّوهُ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا عِنْدَهُ ، فَدَخَلُوا فَضَرَبَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - بِيَدِهِ ، وَقَالَ : " بِسْمِ اللَّهِ كُلُوا " . فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا ، وَفَضَلَ لَحْمٌ كَثِيرٌ قَالَ : وَاللَّهِ إِنَّ مَجْلِسَ بَنِي سَلَمَةَ لَيَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيْهِ ، وَهُوَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِمْ مِنْ أَعْيُنِهِمْ مَا يَقْرَبُهُ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يُؤْذُوهُ ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغُ قَامَ وَقَامَ أَصْحَابُهُ ، فَخَرَجُوا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ ، وَكَانَ يَقُولُ : " خَلُّوا ظَهْرِي لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ " . وَاتَّبَعْتُهُمْ حَتَّى بَلَغُوا أُسْكُفَّةَ الْبَابِ قَالَ : وَأَخْرَجَتِ امْرَأَتِي صَدْرَهَا ، وَكَانَتْ مُسْتَتِرَةً بِسَفِيفٍ فِي الْبَيْتِ فَقَالَتْ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلِّ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَى زَوْجِي صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ . فَقَالَ : " صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْكِ وَعَلَى زَوْجِكِ " . ثُمَّ قَالَ : " ادْعُ لِي فُلَانًا " لِغَرِيمِي الَّذِي اشْتَدَّ عَلَيَّ فِي الطَّلَبِ قَالَ : فَجَاءَ ، فَقَالَ : " أَيْسِرْ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ - يَعْنِي إِلَى الْمَيْسَرَةِ - طَائِفَةً مِنْ دَيْنِكَ الَّذِي عَلَى أَبِيهِ إِلَى هَذَا الصِّرَامِ الْمُقْبِلِ " . قَالَ : مَا أَنَا بِفَاعِلٍ . وَاعْتَلَّ ، وَقَالَ : إِنَّمَا هُوَ مَالُ يَتَامَى . فَقَالَ : " أَيْنَ جَابِرٌ ؟ " . فَقَالَ : أَنَا ذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : " كُلٌّ لَهُ ، فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ سَوْفَ يُوَفِّيهِ " . فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ ، فَإِذَا الشَّمْسُ قَدْ دَلَكَتْ قَالَ : " الصَّلَاةَ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ " ، فَانْدَفَعُوا إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ ، قُلْتُ : قَرِّبْ أَوْعِيَتَكَ . فَكِلْتُ لَهُ مِنَ الْعَجْوَةِ ، فَوَفَّاهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَفَضَلَ لَنَا مِنَ التَّمْرِ كَذَا وَكَذَا ، فَجِئْتُ أَسْعَى إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - [ فِي مَسْجِدِهِ ] كَأَنِّي شَرَارَةٌ ، فَوَجَدْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنِّي كِلْتُ لِغَرِيمِي تَمْرَهُ ، فَوَفَّاهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ، وَفَضَلَ لَنَا مِنَ التَّمْرِ كَذَا وَكَذَا ، فَقَالَ : أَيْنَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؟ " . فَجَاءَ يُهَرْوِلُ ، فَقَالَ : " سَلْ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ غَرِيمِهِ وَتَمْرِهِ " . فَقَالَ : مَا أَنَا بِسَائِلِهِ ، قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ سَوْفَ يُوَفِّيهِ إِذْ أَخْبَرْتَ [ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ سَوْفَ يُوَفِّيهِ ] ، فَكَرَّرَ عَلَيْهِ الْكَلِمَةَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ كُلُّ ذَلِكَ يَقُولُ : مَا أَنَا بِسَائِلِهِ . وَكَانَ لَا يُرَاجَعُ بَعْدَ الْمَرَّةِ الثَّالِثَةِ . فَقَالَ : " يَا جَابِرُ ، مَا فَعَلَ غَرِيمُكَ وَتَمْرُكَ ؟ " . قَالَ : قُلْتُ : وَفَّاهُ اللَّهُ وَفَضَلَ لَنَا مِنَ التَّمْرِ كَذَا وَكَذَا . فَرَجَعَ إِلَى امْرَأَتِهِ ، وَقَالَ : أَلَمْ أَنْهَكِ أَنْ تُكَلِّمِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَتْ : كُنْتَ تَظُنُّ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يُورِدُ رَسُولَهُ بَيْتِي ، ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ ، وَلَا أَسْأَلُهُ الصَّلَاةَ عَلَيَّ ، وَعَلَى زَوْجِي قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ ؟ .
قُلْتُ : هُوَ فِي الصَّحِيحِ ، وَغَيْرِهِ بِاخْتِصَارٍ .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَرِجَالُهُ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ خَلَا نُبَيْحٍ الْعَنَزِيِّ ، وَهُوَ ثِقَةٌ .
قَالَ : وَقُلْتُ لِمَوْلًى لِي : اذْبَحْ هَذِهِ الْعَنَاقَ وَهِيَ دَاجِنٌ سَمِينَةٌ ، وَالْوَحَاءَ وَالْعَجَلَ ، افْرُغْ مِنْهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَسْتَيْقِظَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، وَأَنَا مَعَكَ . فَلَمْ يَزَلْ فِيهَا حَتَّى فَرَغْنَا ، وَهُوَ نَائِمٌ ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - إِذَا اسْتَيْقَظَ يَدْعُو بِالطَّهُورِ ، وَإِنِّي أَخَافُ إِذَا فَرَغَ أَنْ يَقُومَ فَلَا يَفْرَغَنَّ مِنْ وُضُوئِهِ إِلَّا وَالْعَنَاقُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ . فَلَمَّا قَامَ قَالَ : " يَا جَابِرُ ، ائْتِنِي بِطَهُورٍ " . فَلَمْ يَفْرُغْ مِنْ طَهُورِهِ حَتَّى وُضِعَتِ الْعَنَاقُ عِنْدَهُ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ : " كَأَنَّكَ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ حُبَّنَا اللَّحْمَ ، ادْعُ إِلَيَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ " . قَالَ : ثُمَّ جَاءَ حَوَارِيُّوهُ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا عِنْدَهُ ، فَدَخَلُوا فَضَرَبَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - بِيَدِهِ ، وَقَالَ : " بِسْمِ اللَّهِ كُلُوا " . فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا ، وَفَضَلَ لَحْمٌ كَثِيرٌ قَالَ : وَاللَّهِ إِنَّ مَجْلِسَ بَنِي سَلَمَةَ لَيَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيْهِ ، وَهُوَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِمْ مِنْ أَعْيُنِهِمْ مَا يَقْرَبُهُ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يُؤْذُوهُ ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغُ قَامَ وَقَامَ أَصْحَابُهُ ، فَخَرَجُوا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ ، وَكَانَ يَقُولُ : " خَلُّوا ظَهْرِي لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ " . وَاتَّبَعْتُهُمْ حَتَّى بَلَغُوا أُسْكُفَّةَ الْبَابِ قَالَ : وَأَخْرَجَتِ امْرَأَتِي صَدْرَهَا ، وَكَانَتْ مُسْتَتِرَةً بِسَفِيفٍ فِي الْبَيْتِ فَقَالَتْ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلِّ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَى زَوْجِي صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ . فَقَالَ : " صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْكِ وَعَلَى زَوْجِكِ " . ثُمَّ قَالَ : " ادْعُ لِي فُلَانًا " لِغَرِيمِي الَّذِي اشْتَدَّ عَلَيَّ فِي الطَّلَبِ قَالَ : فَجَاءَ ، فَقَالَ : " أَيْسِرْ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ - يَعْنِي إِلَى الْمَيْسَرَةِ - طَائِفَةً مِنْ دَيْنِكَ الَّذِي عَلَى أَبِيهِ إِلَى هَذَا الصِّرَامِ الْمُقْبِلِ " . قَالَ : مَا أَنَا بِفَاعِلٍ . وَاعْتَلَّ ، وَقَالَ : إِنَّمَا هُوَ مَالُ يَتَامَى . فَقَالَ : " أَيْنَ جَابِرٌ ؟ " . فَقَالَ : أَنَا ذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : " كُلٌّ لَهُ ، فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ سَوْفَ يُوَفِّيهِ " . فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ ، فَإِذَا الشَّمْسُ قَدْ دَلَكَتْ قَالَ : " الصَّلَاةَ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ " ، فَانْدَفَعُوا إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ ، قُلْتُ : قَرِّبْ أَوْعِيَتَكَ . فَكِلْتُ لَهُ مِنَ الْعَجْوَةِ ، فَوَفَّاهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَفَضَلَ لَنَا مِنَ التَّمْرِ كَذَا وَكَذَا ، فَجِئْتُ أَسْعَى إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - [ فِي مَسْجِدِهِ ] كَأَنِّي شَرَارَةٌ ، فَوَجَدْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنِّي كِلْتُ لِغَرِيمِي تَمْرَهُ ، فَوَفَّاهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ، وَفَضَلَ لَنَا مِنَ التَّمْرِ كَذَا وَكَذَا ، فَقَالَ : أَيْنَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؟ " . فَجَاءَ يُهَرْوِلُ ، فَقَالَ : " سَلْ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ غَرِيمِهِ وَتَمْرِهِ " . فَقَالَ : مَا أَنَا بِسَائِلِهِ ، قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ سَوْفَ يُوَفِّيهِ إِذْ أَخْبَرْتَ [ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ سَوْفَ يُوَفِّيهِ ] ، فَكَرَّرَ عَلَيْهِ الْكَلِمَةَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ كُلُّ ذَلِكَ يَقُولُ : مَا أَنَا بِسَائِلِهِ . وَكَانَ لَا يُرَاجَعُ بَعْدَ الْمَرَّةِ الثَّالِثَةِ . فَقَالَ : " يَا جَابِرُ ، مَا فَعَلَ غَرِيمُكَ وَتَمْرُكَ ؟ " . قَالَ : قُلْتُ : وَفَّاهُ اللَّهُ وَفَضَلَ لَنَا مِنَ التَّمْرِ كَذَا وَكَذَا . فَرَجَعَ إِلَى امْرَأَتِهِ ، وَقَالَ : أَلَمْ أَنْهَكِ أَنْ تُكَلِّمِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَتْ : كُنْتَ تَظُنُّ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يُورِدُ رَسُولَهُ بَيْتِي ، ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ ، وَلَا أَسْأَلُهُ الصَّلَاةَ عَلَيَّ ، وَعَلَى زَوْجِي قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ ؟ .

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) set out from Madinah towards the polytheists to fight them. My father said to me: "O Jabir! There is no harm for you if you stay in Madinah and watch, until you learn what our outcome is. By Allah! Were I not concerned that I am leaving daughters behind me, I would have loved for you to be martyred in front of me." Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I was among those waiting in Madinah when my paternal aunt came bringing the bodies of my father and my maternal uncle; the two of them were on a camel. She had brought them to Madinah so that we could bury them in our graveyard. Meanwhile a man came and announced: "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commands you to take the slain back and to bury them where they were martyred." So we took them back and buried the two of them where they had been martyred. (Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates:) During the caliphate of Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah bin Abi Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him), a man came to me and said: "O Jabir bin Abdullah! The officials of Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) have disturbed your father's grave, and his body has become exposed." The narrator says: I went there and found him exactly as I had buried him; nothing had changed in him, except what killing leaves behind (here the narrator is uncertain about one word). Then I covered him over. Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: My father had left a debt of dates owed by him, and his creditors were harsh with me in demanding it. I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Prophet of Allah! My father was martyred on such-and-such an occasion, and he owed a debt of dates, and some of his creditors have been harsh with me in demanding it. I would like you to help me in this; perhaps they will grant me respite until the next date harvest comes." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Very well; if Allah wills, I will come to you around midday." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came, and his disciples were with him. He asked permission to enter and then came in. I had said to my wife: "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is coming today, so let me not see that you have done anything in my house that causes hurt to the Messenger of Allah, and do not say anything at all to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came in; that woman spread out bedding for him and placed a pillow; the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) laid down his head and fell asleep. Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I said to my servant: "Slaughter this young goat," which was plump, "and do it quickly and swiftly; finish this task before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wakes up, and I will help you." He kept at it until we had finished, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) remained asleep all the while. I said to him: "When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wakes up, he will ask for water for ablution, and my wish is that when he gets up and finishes, the food should be in front of him by the time he finishes his ablution." When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) got up, he said: "O Jabir! Bring me water for my ablution." He had not yet finished his ablution when the meat was placed in front of him. He looked at me and said: "You knew that we love meat. Call Abu Bakr to me." Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) says: Then those companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) who had been with him earlier also came, and they entered. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gestured with his blessed hand and said: "Begin eating with the name of Allah." They ate until they were full, and still a great deal of meat was left over. Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) says: By Allah! In the gathering of Banu Salimah, the people were looking at him, and he was dearer to them than their own eyes, yet none of them came near him, out of fear of causing him hurt. When he finished, he stood up and his companions stood up too; they went out ahead of him, and he said: "Leave the space behind me for the angels." I followed them until, when they reached the threshold of the door, my wife put out her face from behind the curtain of the house and said: "O Messenger of Allah! Pray for mercy for me and for my husband; may Allah Almighty send blessings upon you." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "May Allah Almighty send mercy upon you and upon your husband!" Then he said: "Call so-and-so to me." This was about the creditor who had been harsh with me in his demand. Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The man came, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Grant ease to Jabir bin Abdullah until he finds the means, regarding the debt that his father owed; grant this ease until the time of the next date harvest comes." The man said: "I will not do so." He made an excuse and said: "This is the wealth of orphans." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Where is Jabir?" Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Messenger of Allah! Here I am." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Measure it out for him; Allah Almighty will make it pay off in full." Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I looked at the sky, and the sun was about to decline. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Abu Bakr! It is time for the prayer." These men went off to the mosque. I said: "Bring your container forward." Then I began measuring out Ajwah dates to him, and Allah Almighty made it pay him off in full, and still such-and-such an amount of dates was left over for us. I came running to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the mosque, as if I were a spark. I found the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! Have you seen that I measured out dates to my creditor, and Allah Almighty made it pay off in full, and still such-and-such an amount of dates was left over for us?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Where is Umar bin al-Khattab?" He came hurrying, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Ask Jabir bin Abdullah about his creditor and his dates." He said: "I will not ask him, for I knew that Allah Almighty would make it pay off in full, since you had stated that Allah Almighty would make it pay off in full." This exchange took place three times, and each time Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: "I will not ask him." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was not referred back to after the third time. So Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: "O Jabir! What happened with your creditor and the dates?" Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I told him that Allah Almighty had made it pay off in full, and still such-and-such an amount of dates was left over for us. Then Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) went back to his wife and said: "Did I not forbid you from speaking to the Messenger of Allah?" She said: "Do you think that Allah Almighty would bring His Messenger to my house and that he (peace and blessings be upon him) would then just leave, without my asking him to pray for mercy for me and for my husband before he left?" (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: This narration is recorded in the Sahih and in other books in abridged form.
Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih, except Nubayh al-Anazi, who is thiqah (trustworthy).
