عَنْ جَرِيرٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ لِصَاحِبِ الْحَقِّ : " خُذْ حَقَّكَ فِي عَفَافٍ وَافٍ ، أَوْ غَيْرَ وَافٍ " .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْكَبِيرِ ، وَفِيهِ دَاوُدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ ، وَهُوَ مَتْرُوكٌ .

Sayyiduna Jarir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to a person who was owed a right: "Take your right with restraint (that is, in a decent manner), whether it is paid in full or not paid in full."

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 ؟ .

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).

وَعَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ : حَضَرَ قِتَالُ أُحُدٍ فَدَعَانِي أَبِي فَقَالَ لِي : يَا جَابِرُ ، إِنِّي أَرَانِي أَوَّلَ مَقْتُولٍ يُقْتَلُ غَدًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ مُحَمَّدٍ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، وَإِنِّي لَا أَدَعُ أَحَدًا أَعَزَّ عَلَيَّ مِنْكَ غَيْرَ نَفْسِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَعَلَيَّ دَيْنٌ ، وَلَكَ أَخَوَاتٌ ، فَاسْتَوْصِ بِهِنَّ خَيْرًا ، وَاقْضِ عَنِّي دَيْنِي ، فَكَانَ أَوَّلَ قَتِيلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ مُحَمَّدٍ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَدَفَنْتُهُ ، وَآخَرَ فِي قَبْرٍ . فَكَانَ بِمَكَانٍ فِي نَفْسِي مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ ، فَاسْتَخْرَجْتُهُ بَعْدَ سِتَّةِ أَشْهُرٍ كَهَيْئَتِهِ يَوْمَ دَفَنْتُهُ إِلَّا هَيْئَتَهُ عِنْدَ أُذُنِهِ ، فَلَمَّا رَجَعْنَا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ قِيلَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : إِنَّ غَرِيمًا لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَدْ أَلَحَّ عَلَى جَابِرٍ . فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَمْشِي بَيْنَ يَدَيْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، وَعُمَرَ ، فَقَالَ : " خُذْ بَعْضًا ، وَأَنْسِئْ بَعْضًا إِلَى تَمْرِ عَامٍ قَابِلٍ " . فَأَبَى الرَّجُلُ ، فَأَغْلَظَ لَهُ عُمَرُ وَقَالَ : أَرَاكَ يَقُولُ لَكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - خُذْ بَعْضًا وَأَنْسِئْ بَعْضًا فَتَأْبَى ؟ ! فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " مَهْ يَا عُمَرُ ، لِصَاحِبِ الْحَقِّ مَقَالٌ " . قَالَ : فَطَافَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فِي النَّخْلِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " أَعْطِ الَّذِي لَهُ تَامًّا وَافِيًا ، وَإِذَا صَرَمْتَ فَأَعْلِمْنِي " . قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، مَا أَرَاكَ إِلَّا قَدْ أَدْرَكَتْكَ الْقَائِلَةُ عِنْدَنَا سَائِرَ الْيَوْمِ . فَفَرَشْتُ لَهُ فِي عَرِيشٍ لَنَا وَعَمَدْتُ إِلَى عَنْزٍ لَنَا فَذَبَحْتُهَا فَانْطَلَقَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ يَرُدَّانِ عَنْهُ النَّاسَ فَلَمَّا قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَرَّبْتُ إِلَيْهِ الطَّعَامَ فَأَصَابَ مِنْهُ ، فَلَمَّا قَرُبَ لِيَنْطَلِقَ أَخْرَجَتِ امْرَأَتِي رَأْسَهَا وَوَجْهَهَا مِنَ الْخِدْرِ فَقَالَتْ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَتَذْهَبُ وَمَا تَدْعُو لَنَا أَوْ لَمَّا تَدْعُو لَنَا ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " أَلَا أَرَاهَا إِلَّا كَيِّسَةً أَوْ أَكْيَسَ مِنْكَ " . فَدَعَا لَنَا ، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ . فَلَمَّا صَرَمْتُ قَضَيْتُ الَّذِي كَانَ لَهُ تَامًّا وَافِيًا وَفَضَلَ لَنَا سَبْعَةُ أَوْسُقٍ فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَحَدَّثْتُهُ فَقَالَ : " ادْعُ لِي عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ " . فَجَاءَ عُمَرُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " سَلْهُ " فَقَالَ : وَاللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَوْلَا أَنَّكَ تَقُولُ : سَلْهُ إِنْ سَأَلْتُهُ ، لَقَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ صَلَوَاتِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَدَعَوَاتِهِ مُبَارَكَةٌ فِيهَا مُسْتَجَابٌ لَهَا . ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيَّ عُمَرُ فَسَأَلَنِي ، فَحَدَّثْتُهُ . فَلَمَّا وَلِيَ عُمَرُ الْخِلَافَةَ وَفَرَضَ الْفَرَائِضَ وَدَوَّنَ الدَّوَاوِينَ وَعَرَّفَ الْعُرَفَاءَ عَرَّفَنِي عَلَى أَصْحَابِي ، فَجَاءَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ يَطْلُبُ الْفَرِيضَةَ فَقَصَّرَ بِهِ عُمَرُ عَمَّا كَانَ يَفْرِضُ لِأَصْحَابِهِ فَكَلَّمْتُهُ ، فَقَالَ : مَا تَذْكُرُ مَا صَنَعَ فِي دَيْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ . فَلَمْ أَزَلْ أُكَلِّمُهُ حَتَّى أَلْحَقَهُ بِأَصْحَابِهِ .

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: When the time of the Battle of Uhud came, my father called me and said to me: "My thought about myself is that tomorrow I will be among the first of the companions of Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) to be martyred. I am not leaving behind anyone dearer to me than you, after the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). I owe some debt, and you have sisters; so accept my counsel to treat them well, and pay off my debt on my behalf." (Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates:) He was among the first of the companions of Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) to be martyred. I buried him, and buried another man with him in one grave. I had some unease in my mind about his grave, so after six months had passed I took out his body, and it was just as it had been on the day I buried him, except that the place near his ear had changed somewhat. When we returned to Madinah, it was said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that a creditor of Sayyiduna Abdullah (Sayyiduna Jabir's father) was being harsh with Jabir. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came, walking on foot ahead of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). He said (to the creditor): "Take part of it, and defer part of it until the dates of next year come." The man refused. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was harsh with that man and said: "I see that the Messenger of Allah is telling you to take part of it and defer part of it, and still you refuse!" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Umar! Stop. The one who is owed a right also has the right to speak." Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) walked around the date palms, and then he said: "Pay him in full, and when you harvest the dates, let me know." I said: "O Messenger of Allah! My thought is that you should take your midday rest with us." I spread out bedding for him in our shelter, and then went to our goat to slaughter it. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) went off to keep the people from coming to him. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) woke up, I presented the food to him, and he ate it. When he was about to leave, my wife put her head and face out from behind the curtain and said: "O Messenger of Allah! You are about to leave, and you have not made any supplication for us at all!" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I consider this woman to be sensible" (the narrator is uncertain; perhaps the words are:) "more sensible than you." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated for us and then left. When I harvested the dates, I paid in full, and still seven wasq were left over for us. I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and told him, and he said: "Call Umar bin al-Khattab to me." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Ask him." He said: "By Allah, O Messenger of Allah! Had you not said, 'Ask him,' I would not have asked him, because I had come to know that the supplication of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would be blessed for him and would be answered in his favour." Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) turned to me and asked me, and I told him the whole account. (Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates:) When Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) became caliph, fixed the stipends, began recording names in the register, and appointed various people as 'arif (leaders over groups), he made me the 'arif over my companions. Then that man who had demanded payment came, and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) gave him a smaller share than his other companions. I spoke to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) about it, and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Do you not remember what this man did regarding Abdullah's debt?" But I kept on speaking to him until Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) placed that man together with his companions as well. (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: This narration is recorded in the Sahih and in other books in abridged form.
At-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy). He also recorded it through another chain, which is the narration recorded by Ahmad that has already passed.

عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ : كَانَ لِرَجُلٍ عَلَيَّ عَجْوَةٌ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ فِي نَخْلِي وَفَاءٌ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَكَلَّمْتُهُ فَأَبَى أَنْ يُأَخِّرَ عَنِّي أَوْ يَأْخُذَ بِحِسَابِ ذَلِكَ ، فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَأَتَى هُوَ وَعُمَرُ ، فَكَلَّمَهُ ، فَقَالَ : " يَا فُلَانُ ، خُذْ مِنْ جَابِرٍ ، وَأَخِّرْ عَنْهُ " . فَأَبَى فَكَادَ عُمَرُ أَنْ يَبْطِشَ بِهِ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " يَا عُمَرُ مَهْ ؛ هُوَ حَقُّهُ " . ثُمَّ قَالَ لِجَابِرٍ : " اذْهَبْ بِنَا إِلَى نَخْلِكَ " . فَانْطَلَقْتُ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - حَتَّى دَخَلَ النَّخْلَ فَجَعَلَ يَنْظُرُ فِي رُءُوسِهَا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " يَا جَابِرُ ، إِذَا جَدَّدْتَ نَخْلَكَ فَأَعْلِمْنِي " قَالَ : فَصَرَمْتُ نَخْلِي وَوَفَّيْتُهُ تَمْرَهُ ، وَبَقِيَ لِي عَشَرَةُ أَوْسُقٍ ، أَوْ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ وَسْقًا . فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ .
He recorded this narration through another chain, whose narrators are the narrators of the Sahih: (That narration is as follows:) Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I owed a man some Ajwah dates, and my date palms did not have enough dates to pay in full. I went to that man and spoke to him about it, but he refused to give me respite, or refused to accept payment on that basis. I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and mentioned this to him, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke with that man and said: "O so-and-so! Take (some) from Jabir and defer some." He refused to accept this, and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) wanted to strike him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Stop! It is his right." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him): "Take us with you to your date orchard." I walked along with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) until the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entered the date orchard. He began looking over the date palms, and then said: "O Jabir! When you pick the fruit of your date palms, let me know." Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I picked the fruit of my date palms and paid that man in full, and still ten wasq (the narrator is uncertain; perhaps the words are:) fifteen wasq were left over with me. After this, the narrator mentioned the complete hadith.
