My father died leaving a debt behind. I offered his creditors that they take the dates in settlement of what was owed, but they refused, not believing the dates would cover the amount.So I went to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned this to him. He said, "When you have harvested the dates and placed them on the drying floor, send word to me."When I had done so, I informed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he came along with Abu Bakr and Umar. He sat upon the heap, invoked blessing over it, then said, "Call your creditors and pay them in full."I did not leave a single person to whom my father owed a debt without settling it, and there remained thirteen wasqs over, seven of Ajwa and six of Lawn, or six of Ajwa and seven of Lawn.I joined the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for the Maghrib prayer and mentioned this to him. He laughed and said, "Go to Abu Bakr and Umar and tell them."When I told them, they said, "We knew, when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did what he did, that this would surely happen."
توفي أبي وعليه دين، فعرضت على غرمائه أن يأخذوا التمر بما عليه، فأبوا، ولم يروا أن فيه وفاء، فأتيت النبي ﷺ، فذكرت ذلك له، فقال: إذا جددته فوضعته في المربد آذنت رسول الله ﷺ، فجاء ومعه أبو بكر وعمر، فجلس عليه، ودعا بالبركة، ثم قال: ادع غرماءك، فأوفهم. فما تركت أحدا له على أبي دين إلا قضيته، وفضل ثلاثة عشر وسقا، سبعة عجوة وستة لون، أو ستة عجوة وسبعة لون، فوافيت مع رسول الله ﷺ المغرب، فذكرت ذلك له، فضحك، فقال: ائت أبا بكر وعمر فأخبرهما فقالا: لقد علمنا إذ صنع رسول الله ﷺ ما صنع أن سيكون ذلك.
