[Machine] As for his strength, he was able to lift the stone on his own, and only ten people could lift it with him. And as for his trustworthiness, he said to her, "Walk behind me and describe the path to me; do not describe your body to me." And Abu Abdullah Al-Hafiz narrated to us that Abu Abdullah Muhammad ibn Abdullah Al-Saffar narrated to us that Ahmad ibn Mihran Al-Asbahani narrated to us that Ubaidullah ibn Musa narrated to us that Israel mentioned it and added, saying, "I want to marry one of my daughters to you in return for you hiring me for eight pilgrimages. If you complete ten, it is from you, and I do not want to make things difficult for you. You will find me, Allah willing, among the righteous." [Al-Qasas 27]. Meaning, in good companionship and fulfilling what I said. Musa said, "This is between you and me, whichever of the two terms I complete, there will be no injustice upon me." [Al-Qasas 28]. He said, "Yes, and Allah is a witness to what we say." [Al-Qasas 28]. So he married him and lived with him, which was sufficient for him, and he worked for him in tending to his sheep.  

أَمَّا قُوَّتُهُ فَإِنَّهُ رَفَعَ الْحَجَرَ وَحْدَهُ وَلَا يَطِيقُ رَفْعَهُ إِلَّا عَشَرَةٌ وَأَمَّا أَمَانَتُهُ فَقَوْلُهُ امْشِي خَلْفِي وَصِفِي لِيَ الطَّرِيقَ؛ لَا تَصِفُ الرِّيحُ لِي جَسَدَكِ 11636 وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أنبأ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الصَّفَّارُ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مِهْرَانَ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ ثنا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُوسَى ثنا إِسْرَائِيلُ فَذَكَرَهُ وَزَادَ قَالَ فَزَادَهُ ذَلِكَ فِيهِ رَغْبَةً فَقَالَ {إِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُنْكِحَكَ إِحْدَى ابْنَتِيَّ هَاتَيْنِ عَلَى أَنْ تَأْجُرَنِي ثَمَانِيَ حِجَجٍ فَإِنْ أَتْمَمْتَ عَشْرًا فَمِنْ عِنْدِكَ وَمَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَيْكَ سَتَجِدُنِي إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ} [القصص 27] أَيْ فِي حُسْنِ الصُّحْبَةِ وَالْوَفَاءِ بِمَا قُلْتُ قَالَ مُوسَى {ذَلِكَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ أَيَّمَا الْأَجَلَيْنِ قَضَيْتُ فَلَا عُدْوَانَ عَلَيَّ} [القصص 28] قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ {وَاللهُ عَلَى مَا نَقُولُ وَكِيلٌ} [القصص 28] فَزَوَّجَهُ وَأَقَامَ مَعَهُ يَكْفِيهِ وَيَعْمَلُ لَهُ فِي رِعَايَةِ غَنَمِهِ  

[Machine] About Marwan, he added: "Indeed, when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would say 'do' and not say 'don't do', I would encounter the Jew until the end."  

عَنْ مَرْوَانَ وَزَادَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا قَالَ فَعَلَ وَلَمْ يَقُلْ فَلَقِيتُ الْيَهُودِيَّ إِلَى آخِرِهِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked, "Which of the two was fulfilled by Musa (Moses)?" He replied, "The farthest and the best of them."  

سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أِيُّ الْأَجَلَيْنِ قَضَى مُوسَى؟ قَالَ أَبْعَدَهُمَا وَأَطْيَبَهُمَا  

[Machine] Sufyan, may Allah have mercy on him, who was one of my teachers, was a righteous man. He narrated from Al-Hakam ibn Aban, who narrated from Ikrimah, who narrated from Ibn Abbas, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I asked Gabriel, ﷺ , which of the two appointed times did Moses, ﷺ , fulfill?" He said, "He fulfilled both of them and completed them."  

سُفْيَانُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَسْنَانِي وَكَانَ رَجُلًا صَالِحًا عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ أَبَانَ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ جِبْرَائِيلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ أِيُّ الْأَجَلَيْنِ قَضَى مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ؟ قَالَ أَتَمَّهُمَا وَأَكْمَلَهُمَا  

The Prophet ﷺ said, "While three men were walking, It started raining and they took shelter (refuge) in a cave in a mountain. A big rock rolled down from the mountain and closed the mouth of the cave. They said to each other, "Think of good deeds which you did for Allah's sake only, and invoke Allah by giving reference to those deeds so that He may remove this rock from you." One of them said, 'O Allah! I had old parents and small children and I used to graze the sheep for them. On my return to them in the evening, I used to milk (the sheep) and start providing my parents first of all before my children. One day I was delayed and came late at night and found my parents sleeping. I milked (the sheep) as usual and stood by their heads. I hated to wake them up and disliked to give milk to my children before them, although my children were weeping (because of hunger) at my feet till the day dawned. O Allah! If I did this for Your sake only, kindly remove the rock so that we could see the sky through it.' So, Allah removed the rock a little and they saw the sky. The second man said, 'O Allah! I was in love with a cousin of mine like the deepest love a man may have for a woman. I wanted to outrage her chastity but she refused unless I gave her one hundred Dinars. So, I struggled to collect that amount. And when I sat between her legs, she said, 'O Allah's slave! Be afraid of Allah and do not deflower me except rightfully (by marriage).' So, I got up. O Allah! If I did it for Your sake only, please remove the rock.' The rock shifted a little more. Then the third man said, 'O Allah! I employed a laborer for a Faraq of rice and when he finished his job and demanded his right, I presented it to him, but he refused to take it. So, I sowed the rice many time till I gathered cows and their shepherd (from the yield). (Then after some time) He came and said to me, 'Fear Allah (and give me my right)." I said, 'Go and take those cows and the shepherd.' He said, 'Be afraid of Allah! Don't mock at me.' I said, 'I am not mocking at you. Take (all that).' So, he took all that. O Allah! If I did that for Your sake only, please remove the rest of the rock.' So, Allah removed the rock." (Using translation from Bukhārī 2333)

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Allah did not send a prophet except that he was a shepherd." They said, "Not even you, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Even I used to shepherd the sheep of the people of Makkah in exchange for some 'qararit' (a type of wages)."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَا بَعَثَ اللهُ نَبِيًّا إِلَّا رَاعِيَ غَنْمٍ قَالوا وَلَا أَنْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ وَأَنَا كُنْتُ أَرْعَاهَا لِأَهْلِ مَكَّةَ بِالْقَرَارِيطِ  

[Machine] Khadijah, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , went on two trips to Jurash, and each trip was by camel. The narration of Abu Abdullah states that in the narration of Abu Muhammad, he said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "I hired myself to Khadijah for two trips to Jurash, by camel."  

خَدِيجَةُ ؓ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ سَفْرَتَيْنِ إِلَى جُرَشَ كُلُّ سَفْرَةٍ بِقَلُوصٍ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَجَّرْتُ نَفْسِي مِنْ خَدِيجَةَ سَفْرَتَيْنِ بِقَلُوصٍ  

The Prophet ﷺ and Abu Bakr employed a (pagan) man from the tribe of Bani Ad-Dail and the tribe of Bani 'Abu bin ʿAdi as a guide. He was an expert guide and he broke the oath contract which he had to abide by with the tribe of Al-ʿAsi bin Wail and he was on the religion of Quraish pagans. The Prophet ﷺ and Abu Bakr had confidence in him and gave him their riding camels and told him to bring them to the Cave of Thaur after three days. So, he brought them their two riding camels after three days and both of them (The Prophet ﷺ and Abu Bakr) set out accompanied by 'Amir bin Fuhaira and the Dili guide who guided them below Mecca along the road leading to the sea-shore. (Using translation from Bukhārī 2263)   

وَاسْتَأْجَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي الدِّيلِ ثُمَّ مِنْ بَنِي عَبَّادٍ هَادِيًا خِرِّيتًا وَالْخِرِّيتُ الْمَاهِرُ بِالْهِدَايَةِ قَدْ غَمَسَ يَدَهُ فِي حِلْفِ آلِ الْعَاصِ بْنِ وَائِلٍ وَهُوَ عَلَى دِينِ كُفَّارِ قُرَيْشٍ فَأَمِنَاهُ وَدَفَعَا إِلَيْهِ رَاحِلَتَيْهِمَا وَوَاعَدَاهُ غَارَ ثَوْرٍ بَعْدَ ثَلَاثِ لَيَالٍ فَأَتَاهُمَا بِرَاحِلَتَيْهِمَا صَبِيحَةَ اللَّيَالِي الثَّلَاثِ فَارْتَحَلَا وَانْطَلَقَ عَامِرُ بْنُ فُهَيْرَةَ وَالدَّلِيلُ فَأَخَذَ بِهِمْ طَرِيقَ أَذَاخِرَ وَهِيَ فِي طَرِيقِ السَّاحِلِ  

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Your example and the example of the people of the two Scriptures (i.e. Jews and Christians) is like the example of a man who employed some laborers and asked them, 'Who will work for me from morning till midday for one Qirat?' The Jews accepted and carried out the work. He then asked, Who will work for me from midday up to the ʿAsr prayer for one Qirat?' The Christians accepted and fulfilled the work. He then said, 'Who will work for me from the ʿAsr till sunset for two Qirats?' You, Muslims have accepted the offer. The Jews and the Christians got angry and said, 'Why should we work more and get lesser wages?' (Allah) said, 'Have I withheld part of your right?' They replied in the negative. He said, 'It is My Blessing, I bestow upon whomever I wish .' (Using translation from Bukhārī 2268)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّمَا مَثَلُكُمْ وَمَثَلُ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابَيْنِ قَبْلَكُمْ مَثْلُ رَجُلٍ اسْتَأْجَرَ أَجِيرًا فَقَالَ مَنْ يَعْمَلُ مَا بَيْنَ غُدْوَةٍ إِلَى نِصْفِ النَّهَارِ عَلَى قِيرَاطٍ؟ فَعَمِلَتِ النَّصَارَى ثُمَّ قَالَ مَنْ يَعْمَلُ لِي مَا بَيْنَ نِصْفِ النَّهَارِ إِلَى الْعَصْرِ عَلَى قِيرَاطٍ؟ فَعَمِلَتِ الْيَهُودُ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَنْ يَعْمَلُ لِي مَا بَيْنَ الْعَصْرِ إِلَى الْمَغْرِبِ عَلَى قِيرَاطَيْنِ؟ فَعَمِلْتُمْ أَنْتُمْ فَغَضِبَتِ الْيَهُودُ وَالنَّصَارَى وَقَالُوا مَا لَنَا أَكْثَرَ عَمَلًا وَأَقَلَّ عَطَاءً؟ قَالَ هَلْ نَقَصْتُكُمْ مِنْ حَقِّكُمْ شَيْئًا؟ قَالُوا لَا فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا هُوَ فَضْلِي أُوتِيهِ مَنْ أَشَاءُ  

I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was standing on the pulpit, saying, "The remaining period of your stay (on the earth) in comparison to the nations before you, is like the period between the ʿAsr prayer and sunset. The people of the Torah were given the Torah and they acted upon it till midday, and then they were worn out and were given for their labor, one Qirat each. Then the people of the Gospel were given the Gospel and they acted upon it till the time of the ʿAsr prayer, and then they were worn out and were given (for their labor), one Qirat each. Then you people were given the Qur'an and you acted upon it till sunset and so you were given two Qirats each (double the reward of the previous nations)." Then the people of the Torah said, 'O our Lord! These people have done a little labor (much less than we) but have taken a greater reward.' Allah said, 'Have I withheld anything from your reward?' They said, 'No.' Then Allah said, 'That is My Favor which I bestow on whom I wish.' " (Using translation from Bukhārī 7467)   

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَقُولُ إِنَّمَا بَقَاؤُكُمْ فِيمَا سَلَفَ قَبْلَكُمْ مِنَ الْأُمَمِ كَمَا بَيْنَ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ إِلَى غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ أُعْطِيَ أَهْلُ التَّوْرَاةِ التَّوْرَاةَ فَعَمِلُوا بِهَا حَتَّى انْتَصَفَ النَّهَارُ ثُمَّ عَجَزُوا فَأُعْطُوا قِيرَاطًا قِيرَاطًا وَأُعْطِيَ أَهْلُ الْإِنْجِيلِ الْإِنْجِيلَ فَعَمِلُوا بِهِ حَتَّى صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ ثُمَّ عَجَزُوا فَأُعْطُوا قِيرَاطًا قِيرَاطًا ثُمَّ أُعْطِيتُمُ الْقُرْآنَ فَعَمِلْتُمْ بِهِ حَتَّى غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ فَأُعْطِيتُمْ قِيرَاطَيْنِ قِيرَاطَيْنِ فَقَالَ أَهْلُ التَّوْرَاةِ وَالْإِنْجِيلِ رَبَّنَا هَؤُلَاءِ أَقَلُّ عَمَلًا وَأَكْثَرُ أَجْرًا فَقَالَ هَلْ ظَلَمْتُكُمْ مِنْ أَجْرِكُمْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ؟ قَالُوا لَا فَقَالَ فَضْلِي أُوتِيهِ مَنْ أَشَاءُ  

The Prophet ﷺ said, "The example of Muslims, Jews and Christians is like the example of a man who employed laborers to work for him from morning till night for specific wages. They worked till midday and then said, 'We do not need your money which you have fixed for us and let whatever we have done be annulled.' The man said to them, 'Don't quit the work, but complete the rest of it and take your full wages.' But they refused and went away. The man employed another batch after them and said to them, 'Complete the rest of the day and yours will be the wages I had fixed for the first batch.' So, they worked till the time of ʿAsr prayer. Then they said, "Let what we have done be annulled and keep the wages you have promised us for yourself.' The man said to them, 'Complete the rest of the work, as only a little of the day remains,' but they refused. Thereafter he employed another batch to work for the rest of the day and they worked for the rest of the day till the sunset, and they received the wages of the two former batches. So, that was the example of those people (Muslims) and the example of this light (guidance) which they have accepted willingly. (Using translation from Bukhārī 2271)   

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَثَلُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَالْيَهُودِ وَالنَّصَارَى كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ اسْتَأْجَرَ قَوْمًا يَعْمَلُونَ عَمَلًا يَوْمًا إِلَى اللَّيْلِ عَلَى أَجْرٍ مَعْلُومٍ فَعَمِلُوا إِلَى نِصْفِ النَّهَارِ ثُمَّ قَالُوا لَا حَاجَةَ لَنَا فِي أُجْرَتِكَ الَّتِي شَرَطْتَ لَنَا ومَا عَمِلْنَا بَاطِلٌ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ لَا تَفْعَلُوا اعْمَلُوا بَقِيَّةَ يَوْمِكُمْ ثُمَّ خُذُوا أَجْرَكُمْ كَامِلًا فَأَبَوْا وَتَرَكُوا ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ وَاسْتَأْجَرَ قَوْمًا آخَرِينَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ فَقَالَ اعْمَلُوا بَقِيَّةَ يَوْمِكُمْ هَذَا وَلَكُمُ الَّذِي شَرَطْتُ لِهَؤُلَاءِ مِنَ الْأَجْرِ فَعَمِلُوا حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ حِينَ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ قَالُوا مَا عَمِلْنَا بَاطِلٌ وَلَكَ الْأَجْرُ الَّذِي جَعَلْتَ لَنَا لَا حَاجَةَ لَنَا فِيهِ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ كَمِّلُوا بَقِيَّةَ عَمَلِكُمْ؛ فَإِنَّمَا بَقِيَ مِنَ النَّهَارِ شَيْءٌ يَسِيرٌ وَخُذُوا أَجْرَكُمْ فَأَبَوْا عَلَيْهِ فَاسْتَأْجَرَ قَوْمًا آخَرِينَ فَعَمِلُوا لَهُ بَقِيَّةَ يَوْمِهِم حَتَّى إِذَا غَابَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَاسْتَكْمَلُوا أَجْرَ الْفَرِيقَيْنِ وَالْأَجْرَ كُلَّهُ فَذَلِكَ مَثَلُ الْيَهُودِ وَالنَّصَارَى الَّذِينَ تَرَكُوا مَا أَمَرَهُمُ اللهُ وَمَثَلُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ الَّذِينَ قَبِلُوا هُدَى اللهِ وَمَا جَاءَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ  

[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad, ﷺ , used to order us to give charity. So one of us would go to the marketplace to collect donations. Some of them would bring back only a handful, while others would bring back up to a hundred thousand. And what I see is that each person only looks out for themselves.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَمَرَنَا بِالصَّدَقَةِ انْطَلَقَ أَحَدُنَا إِلَى السُّوقِ يَتَحَامَلُ فَيُصِيبُ الْمُدَّ وَإِنَّ لِبَعْضِهِمْ مِائَةَ أَلْفٍ وَمَا أُرَاهُ يَعْنِي إِلَّا نَفْسَهُ  

[Machine] "It is his from the length of time she stayed with him until he mentioned it at his death, and he ordered us to settle something owed to her from her rent, whether it be gold or paper."  

أَنَّهَا لَهُ مِنْ طُولِ مَا مَكَثَتْ بِيَدِهِ حَتَّى ذَكَرَهَا عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ وَأَمَرَنَا بِقَضَاءِ شَيْءٍ بَقِيَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ كِرَائِهَا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ أَوْ وَرِقٍ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ had a specific occurrence, which Ali heard about. Ali then went out seeking an action that would enable him to attain something, which he could then present to the Prophet ﷺ. He came across a Jewish man's orchard and fetched him seventeen buckets, each filled with dates. The Jewish man allowed Ali to choose seventeen dates for himself, and Ali brought them to the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Where did you get these, O Abu Hasan?" Ali replied, "I heard about the special occurrence that befell you, O Prophet of Allah, so I went out seeking an action to obtain food for you." The Prophet ﷺ asked, "And did the love of Allah and His Messenger inspire you to do this?" Ali replied, "Yes, O Prophet of Allah." The Prophet ﷺ then said, "By Allah, there is no servant who loves Allah and His Messenger except that poverty will come to him quicker than a flowing current on his face. Whoever loves Allah and His Messenger, let him be prepared for hardship, and by this, it means patience." It is narrated by Yazid ibn Ziyad from Muhammad ibn Ka'ab, who said, "I was told by someone who heard Ali ibn Abi Talib mention part of the meaning of this story."  

أَصَابَ نَبِيَّ اللهِ ﷺ خَصَاصَةٌ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ عَلِيًّا ؓ فَخَرَجَ يَلْتَمِسُ عَمَلًا لَيُصِيبَ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا يَبْعَثُ بِهِ إِلَى نَبِيِّ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَتَى بُسْتَانًا لِرَجُلٍ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ فَاسْتَقَى لَهُ سَبْعَةَ عَشَرَ دَلْوًا كُلُّ دَلْوٍ بِتَمْرَةٍ فَخَيَّرَهُ الْيَهُودِيُّ مِنْ تَمْرِهِ سَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ تَمْرَةً عَجْوَةً فَجَاءَ بِهَا إِلَى نَبِيِّ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ مِنْ أَيْنَ هَذَا يَا أَبَا الْحَسَنِ؟ قَالَ بَلَغَنِي مَا بِكَ مِنِ الْخَصَاصَةِ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ فَخَرَجْتُ أَلْتَمِسُ عَمَلًا لِأُصِيبَ لَكَ طَعَامًا قَالَ فَحَمَلَكَ عَلَى هَذَا حُبُّ اللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ؟ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ نَعَمْ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ وَاللهِ مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يُحِبُّ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ إِلَّا الْفَقْرُ أَسْرَعَ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ جِرْيَةِ السَّيْلِ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ مَنْ أَحَبَّ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَلْيُعِدَّ تِجْفَافًا وَإِنَّمَا يَعْنِي الصَّبْرَ وَرُوِيَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَنْ سَمِعَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَذَكَرَ بَعْضَ مَعْنَى هَذِهِ الْقِصَّةِ  

[Machine] {So turn away from them; you are not to be blamed} [Surah Adh-Dhariyat, 54]. None of us remained except that they were certain of their imminent destruction, when the Prophet ﷺ was commanded to turn away from us upon the revelation of this verse. Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) mentioned that he passed by a woman from the Ansar and there was clay in front of her door. So I said to her, "Do you want me to wet this clay?" She said, "Yes." So I made a condition with her that for every sin, I wet it with a date. So I wet it for her and she gave me sixteen dates. I then brought them to the Prophet ﷺ . It is also narrated from Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) regarding Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) in the dispute with a Jewish man. It is also narrated from Abu Hurairah regarding a man of unknown identity in terms of drawing water with a bucket filled with dates.  

نَزَلَتْ {فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ فَمَا أَنْتَ بِمَلُومٍ} [الذاريات 54] لَمْ يَبْقَ أَحَدٌ مِنَّا إِلَّا أَيْقَنَ بِالْهَلَكَةِ؛ إِذْ أُمِرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْ يَتَوَلَّى عَنَّا حِينَ نَزَلَتْ وَذَكَرَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ أَنَّهُ مَرَّ بِامْرَأَةٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ وَبَيْنَ يَدَيْ بَابِهَا طِينٌ قُلْتُ تُرِيدِينَ أَنْ تَبُلِّي هَذَا الطِّينَ؟ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ فَشَارَطْتُهَا عَلَى كُلِّ ذَنُوبٍ بِتَمْرَةٍ فَبَلَلْتُهُ لَهَا وَأَعْطَتْنِي سِتَّ عَشْرَةَ تَمْرَةً فَجِئْتُ بِهَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَرُوِيَ عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ ؓ فِي نَزْعِ عَلِيٍّ ؓ لِيَهُودِيٍّ كُلَّ دَلْوٍ بِتَمْرَةٍ وَرُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ فِي اسْتِقَاءِ رَجُلٍ غَيْرِ مُسَمًّى
