أَخْبَرَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ يُونُسَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، - حَرَمِيٌّ - قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي قَالَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ كَانَ لِيَهُودِيٍّ عَلَى أَبِي تَمْرٌ فَقُتِلَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ وَتَرَكَ حَدِيقَتَيْنِ وَتَمْرُ الْيَهُودِيِّ يَسْتَوْعِبُ مَا فِي الْحَدِيقَتَيْنِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " هَلْ لَكَ أَنْ تَأْخُذَ الْعَامَ نِصْفَهُ وَتُؤَخِّرَ نِصْفَهُ ". فَأَبَى الْيَهُودِيُّ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " هَلْ لَكَ أَنْ تَأْخُذَ الْجُدَادَ ". فَآذِنِّي فَآذَنْتُهُ فَجَاءَ هُوَ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ فَجَعَلَ يُجَدُّ وَيُكَالُ مِنْ أَسْفَلِ النَّخْلِ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَدْعُو بِالْبَرَكَةِ حَتَّى وَفَيْنَاهُ جَمِيعَ حَقِّهِ مِنْ أَصْغَرِ الْحَدِيقَتَيْنِ - فِيمَا يَحْسِبُ عَمَّارٌ - ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُمْ بِرُطَبٍ وَمَاءٍ فَأَكَلُوا وَشَرِبُوا ثُمَّ قَالَ " هَذَا مِنَ النَّعِيمِ الَّذِي تُسْأَلُونَ عَنْهُ ".
Ibrahim ibn Yunus ibn Muhammad—Harami—reported to us: My father narrated to us: Hammad narrated to us, from 'Ammar ibn Abi 'Ammar, from Jabir ibn 'Abdullah, who said: A Jewish man was owed dates by my father. My father was killed at Uhud and left two gardens, and the dates owed to the Jew would take all the produce from both gardens. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, ‘Would you take half this year and defer the other half?’ The Jew refused. The Prophet then said, ‘Would you take the harvest?’ He told me, ‘Let me know,’ and I informed him. He came with Abu Bakr, and they harvested and measured the dates from the lower parts of the palms while the Messenger of Allah supplicated for blessing. We paid the Jew his full due from the smaller of the two gardens—as 'Ammar reckoned it. Then I brought them fresh dates and water. They ate and drank, and he said, ‘This is a blessing about which you will be questioned.’
Translation notes
The source says Jabir's father owed dates to a Jewish creditor and that the full debt was paid from the smaller garden, according to 'Ammar's estimate.
