حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَائِ أَنَّ شُعَيْبَ بْنَ إِسْحَقَ حَدَّثَهُمْ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ کَيْسَانَ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ أَبَاهُ تُوُفِّيَ وَتَرَکَ عَلَيْهِ ثَلَاثِينَ وَسْقًا لِرَجُلٍ مِنْ يَهُودَ فَاسْتَنْظَرَهُ جَابِرٌ فَأَبَی فَکَلَّمَ جَابِرٌ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَشْفَعَ لَهُ إِلَيْهِ فَجَائَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَکَلَّمَ الْيَهُودِيَّ لِيَأْخُذَ ثَمَرَ نَخْلِهِ بِالَّذِي لَهُ عَلَيْهِ فَأَبَی عَلَيْهِ وَکَلَّمَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُنْظِرَهُ فَأَبَی وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2884
Narrated Jabir bin Abdullah: That his father died and left a debt of thirty wasqs of a Jew on him. Jabir asked him to defer, but he refused. Jabir then spoke to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asking him to mediate to him on his behalf. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to the Jew and spoke to him about taking fruit-dates in lieu of the debt that was on him. But he refused. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him to defer (the debt) to him, but he refused. He then narrated the rest of the tradition.
