His father was martyred on the day of Uhud, leaving behind six daughters and a debt upon him. When the time came to harvest the date palms, I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "You know that my father was martyred on the day of Uhud and left behind a heavy debt, and I would like the creditors to see you."He said, "Go and pile up each kind of dates separately."I did so and then called him. When the creditors looked at the dates, it was as though they were spurred on against me at that moment. When he saw what they were doing, he walked around the largest pile three times, then sat down on it and said, "Call your companions."He kept measuring out dates for them until Allah settled my father's debt, and I would have been content if Allah had simply settled my father's debt, but not a single date was diminished.
أخبرنا القاسم بن زكريا بن دينار قال حدثنا عبيد الله عن شيبان عن فراس عن الشعبي قال
أن أباه استشهد يوم أحد وترك ست بنات وترك عليه دينا فلما حضر جداد النخل أتيت رسول الله ﷺ فقلت قد علمت أن والدي استشهد يوم أحد وترك دينا كثيرا وإني أحب أن يراك الغرماء قال اذهب فبيدر كل تمر على ناحية ففعلت ثم دعوته فلما نظروا إليه كأنما أغروا بي تلك الساعة فلما رأى ما يصنعون أطاف حول أعظمها بيدرا ثلاث مرات ثم جلس عليه ثم قال ادع أصحابك فما زال يكيل لهم حتى أدى الله أمانة والدي وأنا راض أن يؤدي الله أمانة والدي لم تنقص تمرة واحدة
