[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ bought from a Bedouin man a large quantity of dates called Al-Dhakhira and Al-Ajwah. He took them back to his house and asked his servant to look for them, but they could not find them. The Bedouin man said, "Perhaps they were stolen." People started suspecting and saying, "May Allah destroy the one who betrayed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ!" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, "Leave him alone, because the one who is truthful has a response." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went to the Bedouin man again and said, "O Abdullah, we bought from you a large quantity of dates and we thought we had what we named for you, but we couldn't find it." The Bedouin man said, "Perhaps they were stolen." Again, people started suspecting and saying, "May Allah destroy the one who betrayed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ!" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ again said, "Leave him alone, because the one who is truthful has a response." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ repeated this two or three times. When the Bedouin man realized that he didn't understand what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was saying, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to one of his companions, "Go to Khawilah bint Hakim ibn Umayyah and tell her that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is asking if she has some of the dates called Al-Dhakhira, so lend them to us and we will return them to you, if Allah wills." The man went to Khawilah and then returned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "She said yes, O Messenger of Allah, and she asked that someone come to collect them." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to the man, "Take them and fulfill the right of the owner." The man took the dates and fulfilled the right of the owner. The Bedouin man passed by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was sitting with his companions and said, "May Allah reward you with goodness, for you have fulfilled and returned what was entrusted to you." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Those are the best servants of Allah on the Day of Resurrection, the ones who fulfill their trusts and do good."

ahmad:16047Yaʿqūb from my father > Ibn Isḥāq > Muḥammad b. Jaʿfar b. al-Zubayr > Ibn ʿAbdullāh b. Unays from his father

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ invited me and said, "I have been informed that Khalid ibn Safwan ibn Nubayh al-Hadhali is gathering people to attack me while he is wearing a protective garment. Go to him and kill him." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, describe him to me so that I may recognize him." He said, "When you see him and notice goosebumps on your skin, proceed towards him and fear that there may be a plan between me and him to distract me from prayer. So I prayed while walking towards him and gestured with my head to indicate rukoo' and sujood. When I reached him, he asked, 'Who is this person?' I said, 'A man from the Arabs who heard about you and your gathering for this man, so he came to you.' He said, 'Indeed, I am that person.' He said, 'I walked with him for a while until I was able to bear the sword on him, and then I killed him. Then I left and abandoned his belongings on him. When I arrived before the Messenger of Allah, he saw me and said, 'Successful is the face.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I have killed him.' He said, 'You have spoken the truth.' Then he stood up with me, the Messenger of Allah, and entered his house and gave me a staff and said, 'Hold onto this, O Abdullah ibn Unais.' So I went out to the people with it, and they said, 'What is this staff?' I said, 'The Messenger of Allah gave it to me and commanded me to hold onto it.' They said, 'Why don't you return to the Messenger of Allah and ask him about it?' He said, 'So I returned to the Messenger of Allah and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, why did you give me this staff?' He said, 'It is a sign between me and you on the Day of Judgment. Indeed, the fewest people on that day will be the ones carrying staffs.' Abdullah then tied it to his sword and kept it with him until he died. When he died, he was wrapped with it in his burial shroud and we were all buried together."
