Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 1866 — from the Prophet ﷺ that he ﷺ said: When this
وَبِهِ : عَنِ النَّبِيِّ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- قَالَ : لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ : مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يُقْرِضُ اللهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا قَالَ ابْنُ الدَّحْدَاحِ : أَيَسْتَقْرِضُنَا رَبُّنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مِنْ أَمْوَالِنَا ؟ فَقَالَ : I " نَعَمْ I " قَالَ : فَإِنَّ لِي حَائِطَيْنِ ، أَحَدُهُمَا بِالْعَالِيَةِ ، وَالْآخَرُ بِالسَّافِلَةِ ، فَقَدْ أَقْرَضْتُ خَيْرَهُمَا رَبِّي ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- : I " هُوَ لِلْيَتِيمِ الَّذِي عِنْدَكُمْ I " ، ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- : رُبَّ عِذْقٍ لِابْنِ الدَّحْدَاحِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ مُذَلَّلٌ I " . I " لَا يُرْوَى هَذَيْنِ الْحَدِيثِينِ عَنْ عُمَرَ إِلَّا بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِمَا : أَحْمَدُ I " .
Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When this blessed verse was revealed, 'Who is it that will lend Allah a goodly loan', Sayyiduna Ibn al-Dahdah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), does our Lord ask us for a loan from our wealth?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes." He said: "I have two orchards, one in al-Aliyah (the upper area of Madinah) and the other in al-Safilah (the lower area); I have given the better of the two to my Lord as a loan." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is for the orphan who is with you (in your care)." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "How many a date cluster in Paradise belongs to Ibn al-Dahdah, hanging low (with the weight of its fruit)!"
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "These two hadiths are not narrated from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) except with this chain, and Ahmad (the narrator of that name) is alone in narrating them."
