ذِكْرُ دُعَاءِ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ بِالْبَرَكَةِ فِي جَدَادِ جَابِرٍ

"My father died owing debts. I offered to his creditors that they could take the fruits in lieu of what he owed them, but they refused as they thought that it would not cover the debt. I went to the Messenger of Allah and told him about that, he said: 'When you pick the dates and have put them in the Mirbad (place for drying dates), call me.' When I had picked the dates and put them in the Mirbad, I went to the Messenger of Allah and he came, accompanied by Abu Bakr and 'Umar. He sat on (the dates) and prayed for blessing. Then he said: 'Call your creditors and pay them off.' I did not leave anyone to whom my father owed anything but I paid him off, and I had thirteen Wasqs left over. I mentioned that to him and he smiled and said: 'Go to Abu Bakr and 'Umar and tell them about that.' So I went to Abu Bakr and 'Umar and told them about that, and they said: 'We knew, when the Messenger of Allah did what he did, that this would happen.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3640)

bukhari:2709Muḥammad b. Bashhār > ʿAbd al-Wahhāb > ʿUbaydullāh > Wahbb. Kaysān > Jābir b. ʿAbdullāh

My father died and was in debt. I suggested that his creditors take the fruits (i.e. dates) of my garden in lieu of the debt of my father, but they refused the offer, as they thought that it would not cover the full debt. So, I went to the Prophet ﷺ and told him about it. He said (to me), "When you pluck the dates and collect them in the Mirbad (i.e. a place where dates are dried), call me (Messenger of Allah ﷺ)." Finally he came accompanied by Abu Bakr and ʿUmar and sat on the dates and invoked Allah to bless them. Then he said, "Call your creditors and give them their full rights." So, I paid all my father's creditors in full and yet thirteen extra Wasqs of dates remained, seven of which were 'Ajwa and six were Laun or six of which were Ajwa and seven were Laun. I met Messenger of Allah ﷺ at sunset and informed him about it. On that he smiled and said, "Go to Abu Bakr and ʿUmar and tell them about it." They said, "We perceived that was going to happen, as Messenger of Allah ﷺ did what he did."
