[Machine] "My brother died and left behind three hundred dinars and young children. I wanted to spend on them, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ told me, 'Your brother is held back by his debt, so go and settle it for him.' So I went and settled it for him. Then I came and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I have settled it for him and only a woman claiming two dinars remains, but she has no proof.' He said, 'Give it to her, for she is truthful.'"  

أحمد:١٧٢٢٧ – حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ الْأَطْوَلِ قَالَ

مَاتَ أَخِي وَتَرَكَ ثَلَاثَ مِائَةِ دِينَارٍ وَتَرَكَ وَلَدًا صِغَارًا فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أُنْفِقَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ أَخَاكَ مَحْبُوسٌ بِدَيْنِهِ فَاذْهَبْ فَاقْضِ عَنْهُ قَالَ فَذَهَبْتُ فَقَضَيْتُ عَنْهُ ثُمَّ جِئْتُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَدْ قَضَيْتُ عَنْهُ وَلَمْ يَبْقَ إِلَّا امْرَأَةً تَدَّعِي دِينَارَيْنِ وَلَيْسَتْ لَهَا بَيِّنَةٌ قَالَ أَعْطِهَا فَإِنَّهَا صَادِقَةٌ
