Sahih al-Bukhari 4053

Hadith text

Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah:That his father was martyred on the day of the battle of Uhud and was in debt and left six (orphan) daughters. Jabir, added, "When the season of plucking the dates came, I went to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, "You know that my father was martyred on the day of Uhud, and he was heavily in debt, and I would like that the creditors should see you." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Go and pile every kind of dates apart." I did so and called him (i.e. the Prophet (ﷺ) ). When the creditors saw him, they started claiming their debts from me then in such a harsh manner (as they had never done before). So when he saw their attitude, he went round the biggest heap of dates thrice, and then sat over it and said, 'O Jabir), call your companions (i.e. the creditors).' Then he kept on measuring (and giving) to the creditors (their due) till Allah paid all the debt of my father. I would have been satisfied to retain nothing of those dates for my sisters after Allah had paid the debts of my father. But Allah saved all the heaps (of dates), so that when I looked at the heap where the Prophet (ﷺ) had been sitting, it seemed as if a single date had not been taken away thereof

Jabir bin Abdullah bataate hain: Unke waalid Uhud ki jung ke din shaheed hue aur qarzdaar the, chhah (anaath) betiyaan chhodkar. Jabir ne joda, "Jab khajoor todne ka mausam aaya, main Allah ke Rasool ke paas gaya aur kaha, 'Aapko pata hai mere waalid Uhud mein shaheed hue, aur woh bahut zyada qarze mein the, aur main chahta hoon ke qarzdaar aapko dekhen (mera saath dene ke liye).'" Nabi ne kaha, "Jaao aur har qisam ki khajoor ko alag dher mein rakho." Maine aisa hi kiya aur unhe (yaani Nabi ko) bulaya. Jab qarzdaron ne unhe dekha, unhone mujhse itni sakhti se apna qarza maangna shuru kiya (jaisa pahle kabhi nahi kiya tha). Isliye jab Nabi ne unka vyavhaar dekha, woh sabse bade dher ke chaaron taraf teen baar ghoome, aur phir uske oopar baith gaye aur kaha, "(Aye Jabir), apne sathiyon (yaani qarzdaron) ko bulao." Phir woh qarzdaron ko unka haqq naapkar dena shuru kiya jab tak Allah ne mere waalid ka poora qarza chuka diya. Main santusht hota agar apni behnon ke liye kuch bhi khajoor na bache, Allah dwaara mere waalid ka qarza chuka dene ke baad. Magar Allah ne sab dher bacha liye, aisa ke jab maine us dher ki taraf dekha jahaan Nabi baithe the, aisa lagta tha mano ek bhi khajoor usmein se nahi li gaee.
