(وَاقِعَةُ بَرَكَةِ التَّمْرِ)
(The incident of the blessing in dates)
Hadith Number: 5906
5906 - وعن جابر - رضي الله عنه - قال: توفي ابي وعليه دين، فعرضت على غرمائه ان ياخذوا التمر بما عليه، فابوا ، فاتيت النبي - صلى الله عليه وسلم - فقلت: قد علمت ان والدي استشهد يوم احد وترك دينا كثيرا، وإني احب ان يراك الغرماء، فقال لي: (اذهب فبيدر كل تمر على ناحية، ففعلت، ثم دعوته، فلما نظروا إليه كانهم اغروا بي تلك الساعة، فلما راى ما يصنعون طاف حول اعظمها بيدرا ثلاث مرات ثم جلس عليه، ثم قال: (ادع لي اصحابك). فما زال يكيل لهم حتى ادى الله عن والدي امانته، وانا ارضى ان يؤدي الله امانة والدي ولا ارجع إلى اخواتي بتمرة، فسلم الله البيادر كلها، وحتى إني انظر إلى البيدر الذي كان عليه النبي - صلى الله عليه وسلم - كانها لم تنقص تمرة واحدة. رواه البخاري.
Jabir said:My father died in debt and I suggested, to his creditors that they should accept the dates we had in payment of his debt. When they refused, I went to the Prophet and said, "You know that my father died a martyr at the battle of Uhud leaving a large debt, and I would like the creditors to see you." He told me to go and collect all the dates in separate groups, and when I had done so I called him. When they looked at him it seemed as though they were more persistent with me at that time, and when he saw what they were doing he went round the largest group three times, then sitting down beside it he said, "Call your creditors to me." He then kept measuring out to them till God paid on my father's behalf what he owed. I should have been pleased that God should pay my father's debt leaving me not a date to take back to my brothers; but God kept all the groups intact, and when I looked at the group beside which the Prophet was, it seemed as if it had not been diminished by a single date. Bukhari transmitted it.
