حدثنا محمد بن سابق، او الفضل بن يعقوب عنه، حدثنا شيبان ابو معاوية، عن فراس، قال: قال الشعبي، حدثني جابر بن عبد الله الانصاري رضي الله عنهما، ان اباه استشهد يوم احد، وترك ست بنات، وترك عليه دينا، فلما حضر جداد النخل، اتيت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فقلت: يا رسول الله، قد علمت ان والدي استشهد يوم احد، وترك عليه دينا كثيرا، وإني احب ان يراك الغرماء، قال: اذهب فبيدر كل تمر على ناحيته، ففعلت، ثم دعوته، فلما نظروا إليه اغروا بي تلك الساعة، فلما راى ما يصنعون اطاف حول اعظمها بيدرا ثلاث مرات، ثم جلس عليه، ثم قال: ادع اصحابك، فما زال يكيل لهم حتى ادى الله امانة والدي، وانا والله راض ان يؤدي الله امانة والدي، ولا ارجع إلى اخواتي بتمرة، فسلم والله البيادر كلها حتى اني انظر إلى البيدر الذي عليه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم كانه لم ينقص تمرة واحدة".
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah Al-Ansari: My father was martyred on the day (of the Ghazwa) of Uhud and left six daughters and some debts to be paid. When the time of plucking the date-fruits came, I went to Allah's Apostle and said, "O Allah's Apostle! you know that my father was martyred on Uhud's day and owed much debt, and I wish that the creditors would see you." The Prophet said, "Go and collect the various kinds of dates and place them separately in heaps"' I did accordingly and called him. On seeing him, the creditors started claiming their rights pressingly at that time. When the Prophet saw how they behaved, he went round the biggest heap for three times and sat over it and said, "Call your companions (i.e. the creditors)." Then he kept on measuring and giving them, till Allah cleared all my father's debts. By Allah, it would have pleased me that Allah would clear the debts of my father even though I had not taken a single date to my sisters. But by Allah, all the heaps were complete, (as they were) and I looked at the heap where Allah's Apostle was sitting and noticed as if not a single date had been taken thereof.
