حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ هُرْمُزَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , أَنَّهُ ذَكَرَ : " أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ ، سَأَلَ بَعْضَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يُسَلِّفَهُ أَلْفَ دِينَارٍ ، قَالَ : ائْتِنِي بِشُهَدَاءَ أُشْهِدُهُمْ ، قَالَ : كَفَى بِاللَّهِ شَهِيدًا ، قَالَ : ائْتِنِي بِكَفِيلٍ ، قَالَ : كَفَى بِاللَّهِ كَفِيلًا ، قَالَ : صَدَقْتَ ، فَدَفَعَهَا إِلَيْهِ إِلَى أَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى . فَخَرَجَ فِي الْبَحْرِ ، فَقَضَى حَاجَتَهُ ، ثُمَّ الْتَمَسَ مَرْكَبًا يَقْدَمُ عَلَيْهِ لِلْأَجَلِ الَّذِي كَانَ أَجَّلَهُ ، فَلَمْ يَجِدْ مَرْكَبًا ، فَأَخَذَ خَشَبَةً فَنَقَرَهَا ، وَأَدْخَلَ فِيهَا أَلْفَ دِينَارٍ وَصَحِيفَةً مَعَهَا إِلَى صَاحِبِهَا ، ثُمَّ زَجَّجَ مَوْضِعَهَا ، ثُمَّ أَتَى بِهَا الْبَحْرَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ أَنِّي اسْتَلَفْتُ مِنْ فُلَانٍ أَلْفَ دِينَارٍ ، فَسَأَلَنِي كَفِيلًا ، فَقُلْتُ : كَفَى بِاللَّهِ كَفِيلًا ، فَرَضِيَ بِكَ ، وَسَأَلَنِي شَهِيدًا ، فَقُلْتُ : كَفَى بِاللَّهِ شَهِيدًا ، فَرَضِيَ بِكَ ، وَإِنِّي قَدْ جَهِدْتُ أَنْ أَجِدَ مَرْكَبًا أَبْعَثُ إِلَيْهِ بِالَّذِي أََعطْاني ، فَلَمْ أَجِدْ مَرْكَبًا ، وَإِنِّي اسْتَوْدَعْتُكَهَا ، فَرَمَى بِهَا فِي الْبَحْرِ حَتَّى وَلَجَتْ فِيهِ ، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَُ ، يَنْظُرُ وَهُوَ فِي ذَلِكَ يَطْلُبُ مَرْكَبًا يَخْرُجُ إِلَى بَلَدِهِ ، فَخَرَجَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي كَانَ أَسْلَفَهُ يَنْظُرُ لَعَلَّ مَرْكَبًا يَجِيءُ بِمَالِهِ ، فَإِذَا بِالْخَشَبَةِ الَّتِي فِيهَا الْمَال ، فَأَخَذَهَا لِأَهْلِهِ حَطَبًا ، فَلَمَّا كَسَرَهَا وَجَدَ الْمَالَ وَالصَّحِيفَةَ ، ثُمَّ قَدِمَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي كَانَ تَسَلَّفَ مِنْهُ ، فَأَتَاهُ بِأَلْفِ دِينَار ، وَقَال : َوَاللَّهِ مَا زِلْتُ جَاهِدًا فِي طَلَبِ مَرْكَبٍ لِآتِيَكَ بِمَالِكَ ، فَمَا وَجَدْتُ مَرْكَبًا قَبْلَ الَّذِي أَتَيْتُ فِيهِ ، قَالَ : هَلْ كُنْتَ بَعَثْتَ إِلَيَّ بِشَيْءٍ ؟ قَالَ : أَلَمْ أُخْبِرْكَ أَنِّي لَمْ أَجِدْ مَرْكَبًا قَبْلَ هَذَا الَّذِي جِئْتُ فِيهِ ؟ قَالَ : فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَدَّى عَنْكَ الَّذِي بَعَثْتَ بِهِ فِي الْخَشَبَةِ ، فَانْصَرِفْ بِأَلْفِكَ رَاشِدًا " .
Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Among the Children of Israel, there was a man who asked another man for a loan of one thousand dinars. The lender asked for witnesses. The borrower replied, "Allah is sufficient as a witness." The lender said, "Alright, provide a guarantor." The borrower replied, "Allah is sufficient as a guarantor." The lender said, "You have spoken the truth." Saying this, he gave him one thousand gold coins for a fixed period.
The man who took the money set out on a sea journey, completed his work, and then searched for a ship to return so that he could repay the loan within the specified time, but he could not find a ship. Compelled, he filled the gold coins into a (hollow) piece of wood, placed a letter inside it addressed to the lender, sealed it tightly, and cast the wood into the river. He said, "O Allah, You know that I borrowed one thousand gold coins from such-and-such a person. When he asked for a guarantor, I said that Allah is sufficient as a guarantor, and he was satisfied with Your guarantee. Then he asked for witnesses, and I said that Allah is sufficient as a witness, and he was satisfied with Your testimony and gave me the money. Now I have tried hard to find a ship so that I could deliver the money to him, but I could not find one. Now I entrust these gold coins to You." Saying this, he cast the wood into the sea, and the wood sank into the water. After casting the wood, he returned and continued searching for a ship on his way back so that he could reach his city.
Coincidentally, one day the lender went to the river to see if perhaps a ship had brought his money (he did not find a ship, but he saw the same piece of wood filled with gold coins). He brought it home for firewood, but when he broke it open, he found the money and the letter. After some time, the borrower also arrived and brought one thousand gold coins with him. He said, "By Allah, I kept trying to find a ship so that I could deliver your money to you, but I could not find a ship before now." The lender asked, "Did you send me anything?" The borrower replied, "Yes, I will tell you. Since I could not find a ship before, I sent the money filled inside a piece of wood." The lender said, "So, the money you sent inside the wood, Allah delivered it to me on your behalf. Therefore, you may return with your one thousand dinars in success."
