Musnad Abi Ya'la 2161 — a Jew had a debt of dates owed by my father
حَدَّثَنَا هُدْبَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ : كَانَ لِيَهُودِيٍّ عَلَى أَبِي دَيْنُ تَمْرٍ ، وَتَرَكَ أَبِي حَدِيقَتَيْنِ ، وَتَمْرُ الْيَهُودِيِّ يَسْتَوْعِبُ الْحَدِيقَتَيْنِ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : هَلْ لَكَ أَنْ تَأْخُذَ الْعَامَ بَعْضًا ، وَتُؤَخِّرَ بَعْضًا إِلَى قَابِلٍ ؟ فَأَبَى الْيَهُودِيُّ ، فَقَالَ لِيَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : يَا جَابِرُ ، إِذَا حَضَرَ الْجِدَادُ فَآذِنِّي فَآذَنْتُهُ ، فَجَاءَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ ، فَجُعِلَ يُكَالُ لَهُ مِنْ أَسْفَلِ النَّخْلِ ، وَالنَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَدْعُو بِالْبَرَكَةِ ، فَوَفَّيْنَاهُ حَقَّهُ ، قَالَ عَمَّارٌ : أُرَاهُ مِنْ أَصْغَرِ الْحَدِيقَتَيْنِ قَالَ : ثُمَّ أَتَيْنَاهُمْ بِرُطَبٍ ، فَأَكَلُوا وَشَرِبُوا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : هَذَا مِنَ النَّعِيمِ الَّذِي تُسْأَلُونَ عَنْهُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that a Jew had a debt of dates owed by my father, and my father had left behind two orchards (at his death), while the Jew's dates would take up the entire produce of both orchards. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the Jew: "Would you be willing to take part (of the debt) this year and defer part of it until next year?" But the Jew refused. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "O Jabir! When the time of harvesting the dates comes, inform me." So I informed him (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came, and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) were also with him (peace and blessings be upon him). Then (the dates) began to be measured out to him from the heap, while the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) kept supplicating for blessing, until we paid him his right in full. The narrator of the hadith, Ammar (may Allah have mercy on him), said: I think that the debt was paid off from the produce of the smaller of the two orchards alone. Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Then we brought them fresh dates; they ate them and drank water, and then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is among the blessings about which you will be questioned (on the Day of Resurrection)."
