سنن نسائی · Hadith 3674
It was narrated that Jabir bin ‘Abdullah said: “My father owed some dates to a Jew. He was killed on the Day of Uhud and he left behind two gardens. The dates owed to the Jew would take up everything in the two gardens. The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: ‘Can you take half this year and half next year?’ But the Jew refused. The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: ‘When the time to pick the dates comes, call me.’ So I called him and he came, accompanied by Abu Bakr. The dates were picked and weighed from the lowest part of the palm-trees, and the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم was praying for blessing, until we paid off ….everything that we owed him from smaller of the two gardens, as calculated by ‘Ammar. Then I brought them some fresh dates and water and they ate and drank, then be said: ‘This is part of the blessing concerning which you will be questioned.” (Sahih)
