Volume 3, Book 41, Number 579:
Narrated Jabir bin Abdullah:
I went to the Prophet while he was in the Mosque. (Mis’ar thinks, that Jabir went in the forenoon.)

tra amount.

Volume 3, Book 41, Number 580:
Narrated Jabir bin ‘Abdullah:
My father was martyred on the day (of the battle) of Uhud, and he was in debt. His creditors de –
manded their rights persistently. I went to the Prophet (and informed him about it). He told them to
take the fruits of my garden and exempt my father from the debts but they refused to do so. So, the
Prophet did not give them my garden and told me that he would come to me the next morning. He
came to us early in the morning and wandered among the datepalms and invoked Allah to bless their
fruits. I then plucked the dates and paid the creditors, and there remained some of the dates for us.

Volume 3, Book 41, Number 581:
Narrated Jabir bin ‘Abdullah:
When my father died he owed a Jew thirty Awsuq (of dates). I requested him to give me respite for
repaying but he refused. I requested Allah’s Apostle to intercede with the Jew. Allah’s Apostle went to
the Jew and asked him to accept the fruits of my trees in place of the debt but the Jew refused. Allah’s
Apostle entered the garden of the date-palms, wandering among the trees and ordered me (saying),
“Pluck (the fruits) and give him his due.” So, I plucked the fruits for him after the departure of Allah’s
Apostle and gave his thirty Awsuq, and still had seventeen Awsuq extra for myself. Jabir said: I went
to Allah’s Apostle to inform of what had happened, but found him praying the ‘Asr prayer. After the
prayer I told him about the extra fruits which remained. Allah’s Apostle told me to inform (Umar)
Ibn Al-Khatab about it. When I went to ‘Umar and told him about it, ‘Umar said, “When Allah’s
Apostle walked in your garden, I was sure that Allah would definitely bless it.”

Narrated Jabir bin ‘Abdullah:
While I was in the company of the Prophet in one of his Ghazawat, he asked, “What is wrong with
your camel? Will you sell it?” I replied in the affirmative and sold it to him. When he reached Med –
ina, I took the camel to him in the morning and he paid me its price.

Volume 3, Book 38, Number 504:
Narrated Jabir bin ‘Abdullah:
I was accompanying the Prophet on a journey and was riding a slow camel that was lagging be –
hind the others. The Prophet passed by me and asked, “Who is this?” I replied, “Jabir bin ‘Abdullah.”
He asked, “What is the matter, (why are you late)?” I replied, “I am riding a slow camel.” He asked,
“Do you have a stick?” I replied in the affirmative. He said, “Give it to me.” When I gave it to him, he
beat the camel and rebuked it. Then that camel surpassed the others thenceforth. The Prophet said,
“Sell it to me.” I replied, “It is (a gift) for you, O Allah’s Apostle.” He said, “Sell it to me. I have bought it
for four Dinars (gold pieces) and you can keep on riding it till Medina.” When we approached Med –
ina, I started going (towards my house). The Prophet said, “Where are you going?” I Sad, “I have mar –
ried a widow.” He said, “Why have you not married a virgin to fondle with each other?” I said, “My
father died and left daughters, so I decided to marry a widow (an experienced woman) (to look after
them).” He said, “Well done.” When we reached Medina, Allah’s Apostle said, “O Bilal, pay him (the
price of the camel) and give him extra money.” Bilal gave me four Dinars and one Qirat extra. (A
sub-narrator said): Jabir added, “The extra Qirat of Allah’s Apostle never parted from me.” The Qirat
was always in Jabir bin ‘Abdullah’s purse.

A woman came to Allah’s Apostle and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! I want to give up myself to you.” A
man said, “Marry her to me.” The Prophet said, “We agree to marry her to you with what you know
of the Qur’an by heart.”
Volume 3, Book 38, Number 505t:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle deputed me to keep Sadaqat (al-Fitr) of Ramadan. A comer came and started taking
handfuls of the foodstuff (of the Sadaqa) (stealthily). I took hold of him and said, “By Allah, I will take
you to Allah’s Apostle .” He said, “I am needy and have many dependents, and I am in great need.” I
released him, and in the morning Allah’s Apostle asked me, “What did your prisoner do yesterday?” I
said, “O Allah’s Apostle! The person complained of being needy and of having many dependents, so, I
pitied him and let him go.” Allah’s Apostle said, “Indeed, he told you a lie and he will be coming
again.” I believed that he would show up again as Allah’s Apostle had told me that he would return.
So, I waited for him watchfully. When he (showed up and) started stealing handfuls of foodstuff, I
caught hold of him again and said, “I will definitely take you to Allah’s Apostle. He said, “Leave me,
for I am very needy and have many dependents. I promise I will not come back again.” I pitied him
and let him go.
In the morning Allah’s Apostle asked me, “What did your prisoner do.” I replied, “O Allah’s Apostle!
He complained of his great need and of too many dependents, so I took pity on him and set him free.”
Allah’s Apostle said, “Verily, he told you a lie and he will return.” I waited for him attentively for the
third time, and when he (came and) started stealing handfuls of the foodstuff, I caught hold of him
and said, “I will surely take you to Allah’s Apostle as it is the third time you promise not to return, yet
you break your promise and come.” He said, “(Forgive me and) I will teach you some words with
which Allah will benefit you.” I asked, “What are they?” He replied, “Whenever you go to bed, recite
“Ayat-al-Kursi”– ‘Allahu la ilaha illa huwa-l-Haiy-ul Qaiyum’ till you finish the whole verse. (If you
do so), Allah will appoint a guard for you who will stay with you and no satan will come near you
till morning. ” So, I released him. In the morning, Allah’s Apostle asked, “What did your prisoner do
yesterday?” I replied, “He claimed that he would teach me some words by which Allah will benefit
me, so I let him go.” Allah’s Apostle asked, “What are they?” I replied, “He said to me, ‘Whenever you
go to bed, recite Ayat-al-Kursi from the beginning to the end —- Allahu la ilaha illa huwa-lHaiy-
ul-Qaiyum—-.’ He further said to me, ‘(If you do so), Allah will appoint a guard for you who will
stay with you, and no satan will come near you till morning.’ (Abu Huraira or another sub-narrator)
added that they (the companions) were very keen to do good deeds. The Prophet said, “He really
spoke the truth, although he is an absolute liar. Do you know whom you were talking to, these three
nights, O Abu Huraira?” Abu Huraira said, “No.” He said, “It was Satan.”

it.” The Prophet had breathed his last before the money of Bahrain arrived. When the money of
Bahrain reached, Abu Bakr announced, “Whoever was promised by the Prophet should come to us.” I
went to Abu Bakr and said, “The Prophet promised me so and so.” Abu Bakr gave me a handful of
coins and when I counted them, they were five-hundred in number. Abu Bakr then said, “Take twice
the amount you have taken (besides).”
