ahmad:15005Abū Saʿīd > Abū ʿAqīl > Abū al-Mutawakkil > Atayt Jābir b. ʿAbdullāh

[Machine] Narrated to me a hadith that you witnessed from the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ . He said, "My father passed away, leaving behind a debt of twenty wasq (a measure of weight) of dates, and we had different types of dates. The ajwah date was not sufficient to pay off our debt. So, I went to the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , and informed him about it. He sent me to my adversary, who insisted on taking the ajwah dates in full. The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, 'Go and give it to him.' So, I went to our farmland in 'Arish with my companion. We gathered our dates and had a she-goat that we fed from the hushaf (a type of plant) until two men approached us. It was the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , and 'Umar. I said, 'Welcome, O Messenger of Allah! Welcome, O 'Umar!' The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said to me, 'Jabir, come with us and let's go around your date palm trees.' I replied, 'Yes.' So, we circled around them. Then, I commanded the goat to be slaughtered. The Prophet, ﷺ , and 'Umar, were provided with a pillow made of stuffed hair. As for 'Umar, I couldn't find a pillow for him. Afterward, we brought a table on which were placed fresh dates, dried dates, and meat. We presented it to the Prophet, ﷺ , and 'Umar, and they ate. I was a man of modesty and when the Prophet, ﷺ , got up, my companion said, 'O Messenger of Allah, pray for us.' He replied, 'Yes, may Allah bless you.' He repeated it again, 'Yes, may Allah bless you.' Then, I sent for my adversaries and they brought red camels and striped horses. I decided to buy date palm trees to fulfill my debt to them with the dates on my father's trees. I fulfilled my duty to them and also gave away twenty wasq of ajwah dates. Additionally, I gave them an extra amount as a good gesture. Then, I went to the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , to inform him of the blessings that Allah had given me. When I told him, he said, 'O Allah, praise be to You!' He repeated it again, 'O Allah, praise be to You!' Then he said to 'Umar, 'Indeed, Jabir has fulfilled his debt to his adversary.' So 'Umar praised Allah."
