قال شعبة: عن الحكم هو جائز، ووهب الحسن بن علي عليهما السلام لرجل دينه، وقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: من كان له عليه حق فليعطه او ليتحلله منه، فقال جابر: قتل ابي وعليه دين، فسال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم غرماءه ان يقبلوا ثمر حائطي ويحللوا ابي.
Shu’bah said, and from them Hakam said, this is permissible. And Hasan bin ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with them both) forgave a man his debt. And the Prophet (peace be upon him) said,“If someone has a right over another person, he should pay it or have it forgiven.”Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said that my father was martyred and he had a debt. The Prophet (peace be upon him) told his creditors to accept the (present) dates of my garden (in exchange for their debt) and to forgive what remained of my father’s debt.

حدثنا عبدان، اخبرنا عبد الله، اخبرنا يونس، وقال الليث: حدثني يونس، عن ابن شهاب، قال: حدثني ابن كعب بن مالك، ان جابر بن عبد الله رضي الله عنهما اخبره، ان اباه قتل يوم احد شهيدا، فاشتد الغرماء في حقوقهم، فاتيت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فكلمته، فسالهم ان يقبلوا ثمر حائطي ويحللوا ابي، فابوا، فلم يعطهم رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم حائطي ولم يكسره لهم، ولكن قال: ساغدو عليك إن شاء الله، فغدا علينا حين اصبح، فطاف في النخل، ودعا في ثمره بالبركة، فجددتها فقضيتهم حقوقهم وبقي لنا من ثمرها بقية، ثم جئت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وهو جالس فاخبرته بذلك، فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لعمر: اسمع وهو جالس يا عمر، فقال: الا يكون قد علمنا انك رسول الله، والله إنك لرسول الله".
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: My father was martyred on the day (of the battle) of Uhud and his creditors demanded the debt back in a harsh manner. So I went to Allah's Apostle and informed him of that, he asked them to accept the fruits of my garden and excuse my father, but they refused. So, Allah's Apostle did not give them the fruits, nor did he cut them and distribute them among them, but said, "I will come to you tomorrow morning." So, he came to us the next morning and walked about in between the date-palms and invoked Allah to bless their fruits. I plucked the fruits and gave back all the rights of the creditors in full, and a lot of fruits were left for us. Then I went to Allah's Apostle, who was sitting, and informed him about what happened. Allah's Apostle told `Umar, who was sitting there, to listen to the story. `Umar said, "Don't we know that you are Allah's Apostle? By Allah! you are Allah's Apostle!"
