his brother died, leaving behind three hundred Dirham and dependents. “I wanted to spend (his money) on his dependents, but the Prophet ﷺ said: 'Your brother is being detained by his debt, so pay it off for him.'” He said “O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I have paid it off apart from two Dinar, which a woman is claiming but she has no proof.” He said: “Give them to her for she is telling the truth.”  

أَنَّ أَخَاهُ مَاتَ وَتَرَكَ ثَلاَثَمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ وَتَرَكَ عِيَالاً فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أُنْفِقَهَا عَلَى عِيَالِهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنَّ أَخَاكَ مُحْتَبَسٌ بِدَيْنِهِ فَاقْضِ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ أَدَّيْتُ عَنْهُ إِلاَّ دِينَارَيْنِ ادَّعَتْهُمَا امْرَأَةٌ وَلَيْسَ لَهَا بَيِّنَةٌ قَالَ فَأَعْطِهَا فَإِنَّهَا مُحِقَّةٌ  

his father died owing thirty Wasq to a Jewish man. Jabir bin Abdullah asked him for respite but he refused. Jabir asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to intercede for him with him, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went and spoke to the Jew, asking him to accept dates in lieu of what was owed, but he refused. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ spoke to him but he refused to give respite. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went in among the date-palm trees and walked among them. Then he said to Jabir: “Pick (dates) for him and pay off what is owed to him in full.” So he picked thirty Wasq of dates after the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came back, and there were twelve Wasq more (than what was owed). Jabir came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to tell him what had happened, and he found that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was absent. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came back he came to him and told him that he had paid off the debt in full, and he told him about the extra dates. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Tell 'Umar bin Khattab about that.” So Jabir went to 'Umar said to him: “I knew when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ walked amongst them that Allah (SWT) would bless them for us.”
