It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that when his father, Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin Haram (may Allah be pleased with him), was martyred, he had some debt. I requested the creditors through the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to forgive the debt, but they refused. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "Go and separate the dates into different types—keep the Ajwah separate, the 'Adhq Zayd separate, and likewise separate the other types as well, then call me." I did so. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came and sat at the top or in the middle, and said to me: "Start measuring and giving to the people." So I started measuring and giving to the people until all the debt was paid off, and my dates remained as they were, as if nothing had been reduced from them.
