١٧۔ كِتَابُ الصُّلْحِ
[Machine] He demanded a debt from Ibn Abi Hadrad, which he owed to him in the mosque. Their voices became loud enough for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to hear them. So he came out until he uncovered the curtain of his room and said, "O Ka'b, forgive some of your debt." He pointed towards it, which part, he said, "Yes." So he judged it.
أَنَّهُ تَقَاضَى ابْنَ أَبِي حَدْرَدٍ دَيْنًا كَانَ لَهُ عَلَيْهِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَارْتَفَعَتْ أَصْوَاتُهُمَا حَتَّى سَمِعَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَخَرَجَ حَتَّى كَشَفَ سِتْرَ حُجْرَتِهِ فَقَالَ يَا كَعْبُ ضَعْ مِنْ دَيْنِكَ هَذَا وَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ أَيِ الشَّطْرَ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَضَاهُ
"Ka'b!" He said: "At your service, Messenger of Allah." Thereupon he made a gesture with is hand indicating: Remit half the debt due to you. Ka'b said: "I shall do so, Messenger of Allah." The Prophet ﷺ then said: "Get up and discharge" (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3595)
أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ تَقَاضَى ابْنَ أَبِي حَدْرَدٍ دَيْنًا كَانَ لَهُ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَارْتَفَعَتْ أَصْوَاتُهُمَا حَتَّى سَمِعَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ فِي بَيْتِهِ فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِمَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى كَشَفَ سِتْرَ حُجْرَتِهِ وَنَادَى كَعْبَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ فَقَالَ يَا كَعْبُ قَالَ لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ بِيَدِهِ أَنْ ضَعِ الشَّطْرَ مِنْ دَيْنِكَ قَالَ كَعْبٌ قَدْ فَعَلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قُمْ فَاقْضِهِ
My father was martyred on the day (of the battle) of Uhud and his creditors demanded the debt back in a harsh manner. So I went to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and informed him of that, he asked them to accept the fruits of my garden and excuse my father, but they refused. So, Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not give them the fruits, nor did he cut them and distribute them among them, but said, "I will come to you tomorrow morning." So, he came to us the next morning and walked about in between the date-palms and invoked Allah to bless their fruits. I plucked the fruits and gave back all the rights of the creditors in full, and a lot of fruits were left for us. Then I went to Messenger of Allah ﷺ, who was sitting, and informed him about what happened. Messenger of Allah ﷺ told ʿUmar, who was sitting there, to listen to the story. ʿUmar said, "Don't we know that you are Messenger of Allah ﷺ? By Allah! you are Messenger of Allah ﷺ!" (Using translation from Bukhārī 2601)
أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ أَبَاهُ قُتِلَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ شَهِيدًا وَعَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ فَاشْتَدَّ الْغُرَمَاءُ فِي حُقُوقِهِمْ قَالَ جَابِرٌ فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَكَلَّمْتُهُ فَسَأَلَهُمْ أَنْ يَقْبَلُوا ثَمَرَ حَائِطِي وَيُحَلِّلُوا أَبِي فَأَبَوْا فَلَمْ يُعْطِهِمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَائِطِي وَلَمْ يَكْسِرْهُ لَهُمْ وَلَكِنْ قَالَ سَأَغْدُو عَلَيْكَ فَغَدَا عَلَيْنَا حِينَ أَصْبَحَ فَطَافَ فِي النَّخْلِ وَدَعَا فِي ثَمَرِهَا بِالْبَرَكَةِ قَالَ فَجَدَدْتُهَا فَقَضَيْتُهُمْ حُقُوقَهُمْ وَبَقِيَتْ لَنَا مِنْ ثَمَرِهَا بَقِيَّةٌ فَجِئْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِذَلِكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِعُمَرَ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ اسْمَعْ عُمَرُ مَا يَقُولُ قَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ أَلَا يَكُونُ قَدْ عَلِمْنَا أَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ فَوَاللهِ إِنَّكَ لَرَسُولُ اللهِ
[Machine] And he said to Abu Lubabah about an orphan who had a dispute with him over a palm tree, and he ruled in favor of Abu Lubabah. So the young boy cried, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Abu Lubabah, "Give him your palm tree." Abu Lubabah said, "No." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Give it to him and you will have a date palm in paradise." Abu Lubabah said, "No." Ibn al-Dahdah heard this and said to Abu Lubabah, "Will you sell your date palm in paradise for my garden?" He said, "Yes." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and said, "The palm tree that you asked for the orphan, if I give it to him, will I have a date palm in paradise?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Yes." Then Ibn al-Dahdah was martyred on the Day of Uhud, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Many a humble date palm for the son of al-Dahdah in paradise."
وَقَالَ لِأَبِي لُبَابَةَ فِي يَتِيمٍ لَهُ خَاصَمَهُ فِي نَخْلَةٍ فَقَضَى بِهَا لِأَبِي لُبَابَةَ فَبَكَى الْغُلَامُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِأَبِي لُبَابَةَ أَعْطِهِ نَخْلَتَكَ فَقَالَ لَا فَقَالَ أَعْطِهِ إِيَّاهَا وَلَكَ عِذْقٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَقَالَ لَا فَسَمِعَ بِذَلِكَ ابْنُ الدَّحْدَاحَةِ فَقَالَ لِأَبِي لُبَابَةَ أَتَبِيعُ عِذْقَكَ ذَلِكَ بِحَدِيقَتِي هَذِهِ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ ثُمَّ جَاءَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ النَّخْلَةُ الَّتِي سَأَلْتَ لِلْيَتِيمِ إِنْ أَعْطَيْتُهُ أَلِي بِهَا عِذْقٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ نَعَمْ ثُمَّ قُتِلَ ابْنُ الدَّحْدَاحَةِ شَهِيدًا يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ رُبَّ عِذْقٍ مُذَلَّلٍ لِابْنِ الدَّحْدَاحَةِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ
[Machine] To give him until he reaches five hundred, then he wrote the book on it and exonerated him, then he took it with five hundred, so they disagreed to a judge, and he said to the witnesses, did he place the five hundred in his hand? They said no, so he commanded and returned it to him. The sheikh said, and we also do not allow the deposit if it is conditional.
أَنْ يُعْطُوهُ حَتَّى حَطَّ الْخَمْسَمِائَةِ فَكَتَبَ عَلَيْهِ الْكِتَابَ وَأَبْرَأَهُ ثُمَّ أَخَذَهُ بِالْخَمْسِمِائَةِ فَاخْتَصَمُوا إِلَى شُرَيْحٍ فَقَالَ لِلشُّهُودِ هَلْ وَضَعَ الْخَمْسَمِائَةِ فِي كَفِّهِ؟ فَقَالُوا لَا فَأَمَرَ فَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَنَحْنُ أَيْضًا لَا نُجِيزُ الْحَطَّ إِذَا كَانَ بِشَرْطٍ
