Hadith text
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah Al-Ansari:My father was martyred on the day (of the Ghazwa) of Uhud and left six daughters and some debts to be paid. When the time of plucking the date-fruits came, I went to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's Apostle! you know that my father was martyred on Uhud's day and owed much debt, and I wish that the creditors would see you." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Go and collect the various kinds of dates and place them separately in heaps"' I did accordingly and called him. On seeing him, the creditors started claiming their rights pressingly at that time. When the Prophet (ﷺ) saw how they behaved, he went round the biggest heap for three times and sat over it and said, "Call your companions (i.e. the creditors)." Then he kept on measuring and giving them, till Allah cleared all my father's debts. By Allah, it would have pleased me that Allah would clear the debts of my father even though I had not taken a single date to my sisters. But by Allah, all the heaps were complete, (as they were) and I looked at the heap where Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was sitting and noticed as if not a single date had been taken thereof
Jabir bin Abdullah Al-Ansari bataate hain: Mere waalid Uhud ki jung ke din shaheed hue aur unhone chhah betiyaan aur kuch qarz chhoda. Jab khajoor katne ka waqt aaya, main Allah ke Rasool ke paas gaya aur kaha: "Ya Allah ke Apostle! Aapko pata hai mere waalid Uhud ki jung mein shaheed hue aur unpar bahut zyada qarz tha, aur main chahta hoon ke qarz-daaron ki aap se mulaqaat ho." Nabi ne kaha: "Jaao aur alag-alag qismon ki khajoor jama karke unhe alag-alag dheri mein rakho." Maine aisa kiya aur unhe bulwaya. Unhe dekhkar, qarz-daaron ne us waqt zor se apna haqq maangna shuru kiya. Jab Nabi ne unka yeh rawaiya dekha, woh sabse bade dher ke gird teen baar ghume aur uske oopar baith gaye aur kaha: "Apne saathiyon (yaani qarz-daaron) ko bulwao." Phir Aap naapte aur unhe dete rahe jab tak Allah ne mere waalid ke sab qarz ada kar diye. Allah ki qasam, mujhe khushi hoti agar Allah mere waalid ke qarz ada kar deta chahe main apni behnon ke liye ek bhi khajoor na leta. Magar Allah ki qasam, sab dher poore reh gaye (jaisa woh the), aur maine jahan Allah ke Rasool baithe the woh dher dekha, aur lagta tha jaise usme se ek bhi khajoor nahi li gayi thi.
