عَائِشَةَ , قَالَتْ : ابْتَاعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَعْرَابِ جَزُورًا , أَوْ جَزَائِرَ , بِوَسْقٍ مِنْ تَمْرِ الذَّخِرَةِ , وَتَمْرُ الذَّخِرَةِ الْعَجْوَةُ , فَرَجَعَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ , وَالْتَمَسَ لَهُ التَّمْرَ , فَلَمْ يَجِدْهُ , فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ :
" يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ , إِنَّا قَدْ ابْتَعْنَا مِنْكَ , جَزُورًا أَوْ جَزَائِرَ , بِوَسْقٍ مِنْ تَمْرِ الذَّخْرَةِ , فَالْتَمَسْنَاهُ , فَلَمْ نَجِدْهُ " , قَالَ : فَقَالَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ : وَاغَدْرَاهُ . قَالَتْ : فَنَهَمَهُ النَّاسُ , وَقَالُوا : قَاتَلَكَ اللَّهُ , أَيَغْدِرُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ ! قَالَتْ : فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " دَعُوهُ , فَإِنَّ لِصَاحِبِ الْحَقِّ مَقَالًا " , ثُمَّ عَادَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ : " يَا عَبْدَ اللَّه , إِنَّا ابْتَعْنَا مِنْكَ جَزَائِرَكَ وَنَحْنُ نَظُنُّ أَنَّ عِنْدَنَا مَا سَمَّيْنَا لَكَ , فَالْتَمَسْنَاهُ , فَلَمْ نَجِدْهُ " , فَقَالَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ : وَاغَدْرَاهُ , فَنَهَمَهُ النَّاسُ , وَقَالُوا : قَاتَلَكَ اللَّهُ أَيَغْدِرُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ ! فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " دَعُوهُ , فَإِنَّ لِصَاحِبِ الْحَقِّ مَقَالًا " , فَرَدَّدَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَرَّتَيْنِ , أَوْ ثَلَاثًا , فَلَمَّا رَآهُ لَا يَفْقَهُ عَنْهُ , قَالَ لِرَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ : " اذْهَبْ إِلَى خُوَيْلَةَ بِنْتِ حَكِيمِ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ , فَقُلْ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ لَكِ : إِنْ كَانَ عِنْدَكِ وَسْقٌ مِنْ تَمْرِ الذَّخِرَةِ , فَأَسْلِفِينَاهُ حَتَّى نُؤَدِّيَهُ إِلَيْكِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ " , فَذَهَبَ إِلَيْهَا الرَّجُلُ , ثُمَّ رَجَعَ الرَّجُلُ , فَقَالَ : قَالَتْ : نَعَمْ , هُوَ عِنْدِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , فَابْعَثْ مَنْ يَقْبِضُهُ , فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِلرَّجُلِ : " اذْهَبْ بِهِ , فَأَوْفِهِ الَّذِي لَهُ " , قَالَ فَذَهَبَ بِهِ , فَأَوْفَاهُ الَّذِي لَهُ , قَالَتْ : فَمَرَّ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فِي أَصْحَابِهِ , فَقَالَ : جَزَاكَ اللَّهُ خَيْرًا , فَقَدْ أَوْفَيْتَ وَأَطْيَبْتَ , قَالَتْ : فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أُولَئِكَ خِيَارُ عِبَادِ اللَّهِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ الْمُوفُونَ الْمُطِيبُونَ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) bought one or several camels from a Bedouin and set the price as one wasq of stored dates (ajwa), and then proceeded towards his house. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) searched for the dates there but could not find them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came out to him and said, "O servant of Allah! I have bought camels from you in exchange for one wasq of stored dates, but I do not have the dates at this time." The Bedouin said, "Alas! I have been deceived." The people scolded him and said, "May Allah's curse be upon you, would the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) deceive?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Leave him, for the rightful person can speak his claim." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) repeated his statement two or three times, and each time the Bedouin said the same, and the noble Companions (may Allah be pleased with them all) scolded him. Finally, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw that he was not understanding, he said to one of his Companions, "Go to Khawla bint Hakim and say to her that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) says, 'If you have one wasq of stored dates, lend them to us, we will return them to you in full, InshaAllah.'" The Companion went, then returned and informed that she says, "O Messenger of Allah! I have the dates, send someone to take them." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Take him and give him the full amount." The Companion took the Bedouin and gave him the full dates. Later, that Bedouin passed by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) who was sitting with the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them), and he said, "Jazak Allahu Khairan, you have paid in full and paid excellently." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "On the Day of Resurrection, the best servants in the sight of Allah will be those who fulfill and pay in the best manner."
