[Machine] And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent Abdullah bin Rawaha to divide the dates among the Jews. When he came to them, they started offering him food and talking to him, and they gathered jewelry from their women and said, "Take this, it will alleviate our burdens and forgive our debts." Ibn Rawaha said, "O people of Jews, by Allah, you are the people I despise the most. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me as a just arbitrator between you and him, so I have no personal interest in your world and I will not deceive you. You have only offered me what is unlawful and we do not consume it." Then he started to separate the dates, and when he finished the allocation, he said to them, "If you wish, I can guarantee your share and if you wish, you can guarantee our share and you can distribute it yourselves." They chose to guarantee and distribute it themselves and said, "O Ibn Rawaha, with what you are doing, heavens and earth are established, and they only stand with truth."
