I made a written agreement with my masters that I would plant five hundred date palm shoots for them, and if they all took root, I would be free. So I came to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned this to him.He said, "Plant them and stipulate this condition with them. When you are about to plant, let me know."So I informed him, and he came and began planting them with his own hand, except for one, which I planted with my own hand. They all took root except for that one.
