ذِكْرُ السَّبَبِ الَّذِي مِنْ أَجْلِهِ قَالَ ﷺ هَذَا الْقَوْلَ

ibnhibban:7159Aḥmad

[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, so-and-so has a palm tree, and I have erected my wall with it. So, command him to give it to me, and I will let him keep my wall." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Give it to him, and you will have a palm tree in Paradise." The man refused, so Abu ad-Dahhak came to him and said, "Sell me your palm tree for my wall." The man agreed, so Abu ad-Dahhak went to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have bought his palm tree in exchange for my wall. So, give it to him." The Prophet ﷺ said, "How many sweet dates will there be for Abu ad-Dahhak in Paradise!" He repeated this several times. Then, Abu ad-Dahhak went to his wife and said, "O mother of ad-Dahhak, leave the wall, for I have sold it in exchange for a palm tree in Paradise." She said, "The price is a good one."

[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, indeed Fulan has a date palm tree and I have established my wall with it, so I instructed him to give it to me so that I could complete my wall. The Prophet ﷺ said to him, 'Give it to him in return for a date palm tree in Paradise.' But he refused. Then Abu Ad-Dahdah came to him and said, 'I will buy your date palm tree with my wall.' So he did, and he went to the Prophet ﷺ and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I have purchased the date palm tree with my wall.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Then give it to him, for indeed I have given it to you.' Abu Ad-Dahdah repeatedly said, 'How much profit has Abu Ad-Dahdah made with his date palm tree in Paradise?' He said this many times. Then he went to his wife and said, 'O Umm Ad-Dahdah, get out of the wall, for I have sold it with a date palm tree in Paradise.' She said, 'The trade has been profitable, or a statement similar to it.'"

[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, Fulan has a palm tree, and I constructed my wall using it. So please command him to give me the palm tree in exchange for my wall." The Prophet ﷺ told Fulan, "Give it to him in return for a palm tree in Paradise." However, Fulan refused and Abu Al-Dahdah came to him saying, "Sell your palm tree to him in exchange for his wall." Fulan agreed and sold it to him. Abu Al-Dahdah then went to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him, saying, "O Messenger of Allah, I have acquired the palm tree in exchange for my wall." The Prophet ﷺ said multiple times, "How much shade and clusters (of dates) in Paradise belongs to Abu Al-Dahdah." Then, Abu Al-Dahdah went to his wife and said, "O Um Dahdah, vacate the wall, for I have sold it in exchange for a palm tree in Paradise." She responded, "Indeed, you have made a profitable sale or an equivalent word."

[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, so-and-so has a palm tree, and I have built my wall with it. Therefore, order him to give it to me so that I can build my wall with it." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Give it to him in exchange for a palm tree in Jannah (Paradise)." The man refused and then went to the person who owned the palm tree and said, "Sell me your palm tree for my wall." The owner agreed and then went to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have sold my palm tree to him, as you have instructed." The Prophet ﷺ said, "How many ripe dates for Abu Al-Dahdah?" This happened multiple times. Then, Abu Al-Dahdah went to his wife and said, "O mother of Al-Dahdah, leave the wall as I have sold it in exchange for a palm tree in Jannah." She said, "Profit is gained or a word similar to it."
