My father had died in debt. So I came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "My father (died) leaving unpaid debts, and I have nothing except the yield of his date palms; and their yield for many years will not cover his debts. So please come with me, so that the creditors may not misbehave with me." The Prophet ﷺ went round one of the heaps of dates and invoked (Allah), and then did the same with another heap and sat on it and said, "Measure (for them)." He paid them their rights and what remained was as much as had been paid to them. (Using translation from Bukhārī 3580)   

الكبرى للنسائي:٦٤٣١أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَلَّامٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ يُوسُفَ الْأَزْرَقُ الْوَاسِطِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ جَابِرٍ

أَنَّ أَبَاهُ تُوُفِّيَ وَعَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أَبِي تُوُفِّيَ وَعَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ وَلَمْ يَتْرُكْ إِلَّا مَا تُخْرِجُ نَخْلُهُ وَلَا يَبْلُغُ مَا يُخْرِجُ نَخْلُهُ مَا عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الدَّيْنِ دُونَ سَنَتَيْنِ فَانْطَلِقْ مَعِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؛ لِكَيْلَا يَفْحَشَ عَلَيَّ الْغُرَمَاءُ فَأَتَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْدَرًا مِنْ بَيَادِرَ فَمَشَى حَوْلَهُ وَدَعَا ثُمَّ جَلَسَ عَلَيْهِ وَدَعَا الْغُرَمَاءَ فَوَفَّاهُمُ وَبَقِيَ مِثْلُ مَا أَخَذُوا

أَنَّ أَبَاهُ تُوُفِّيَ وَعَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ أَبِي تَرَكَ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنًا وَلَيْسَ عِنْدِي إِلاَّ مَا يُخْرِجُ نَخْلُهُ وَلاَ يَبْلُغُ مَا يُخْرِجُ سِنِينَ مَا عَلَيْهِ فَانْطَلِقْ مَعِي لِكَىْ لاَ يُفْحِشَ عَلَىَّ الْغُرَمَاءُ فَمَشَى حَوْلَ بَيْدَرٍ مِنْ بَيَادِرِ التَّمْرِ فَدَعَا ثَمَّ آخَرَ ثُمَّ جَلَسَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ انْزِعُوهُ فَأَوْفَاهُمُ الَّذِي لَهُمْ وَبَقِيَ مِثْلُ مَا أَعْطَاهُمْ

'(O Messenger of Allah!) My father has died owing debts, and he has not left anything but what his date-palms produce. What his date-palms produce will not pay off his debts for years. Come with me, O Messenger of Allah, so that the creditors will not be harsh with me.' The Messenger of Allah went to each heap, saying Salams and supplicating for it, then sitting on it. He called the creditors and paid them off, and what was left was as much as what they had taken."

[Machine] His father passed away while he had a debt. So, he came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said to him, "Indeed, my father passed away with a debt, and I only have what his date palm produces, which is not enough to cover the debt for many years." The Messenger ﷺ said, "Come with me so that the creditors do not oppress me." He then walked around a palm grove and sat on it, and said, "Where are his creditors?" So, he paid them what was due to them, and what was left was similar to what he gave them.

أَنَّ أَبَاهُ تُوُفِّيَ وَعَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّ أَبِي تُوُفِّيَ وَعَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ وَلَيْسَ عِنْدِي إِلَّا مَا يُخْرِجُ نَخْلُهُ فَلَا يَبْلُغُ مَا يَخْرُجُ سِنِينَ مَا عَلَيْهِقَالَ فَانْطَلَقَ مَعِي لِكَيْ لَا يَفَحَّشَ عَلَيَّ الْغُرَمَاءُ فَمَشَى حَوْلَ بَيْدَرٍ مِنْ بَيَادِرِ التَّمْرِ ثُمَّ دَعَا وَجَلَسَ عَلَيْهِ وَقَالَ أَيْنَ غُرَمَاؤُهُ؟ فَأَوْفَاهُمُ الَّذِي لَهُمْ وَبَقِيَ مِثْلُ الَّذِي أَعْطَاهُمْ
