Volume 3, Book 41, Number 589:
Narrated Jabir:
When ‘Abdullah (my father) died, he left behind children and debts. I asked the lenders to put
down some of his debt, but they refused, so I went to the Prophet to intercede with them, yet they re –
fused. The Prophet said (to me), “Classify your dates into their different kinds: ‘Adhq bin Zaid, Lean
and ‘Ajwa, each kind alone and call all the creditors and wait till I come to you.” I did so and the
Prophet came and sat beside the dates and started measuring to each his due till he paid them fully,
and the amount of dates remained as it was before, as if he had not touched them.
(On another occasion) I took part in one of Ghazawat among with the Prophet and I was riding
one of our camels. The camel got tired and was lagging behind the others. The Prophet hit it on its
back. He said, “Sell it to me, and you have the right to ride it till Medina.” When we approached
Medina, I took the permission from the Prophet to go to my house, saying, “O Allah’s Apostle! I have
newly married.” The Prophet asked, “Have you married a virgin or a matron (a widow or divorcee)?”
I said, “I have married a matron, as ‘Abdullah (my father) died and left behind daughters small in
their ages, so I married a matron who may teach them and bring them up with good manners.” The
Prophet then said (to me), “Go to your family.” When I went there and told my maternal uncle about
the selling of the camel, he admonished me for it. On that I told him about its slowness and exhaus –
tion and about what the Prophet had done to the camel and his hitting it. When the Prophet arrived,
I went to him with the camel in the morning and he gave me its price, the camel itself, and my share
from the war booty as he gave the other people.
