“Go! Pick the dates and classify them: Inform me after putting one side the Ajwa (the
good kind) and on the other side Azq-ı Zayd (ripe ones).”
After Hazrat Jabir fulfilled his order, the apostle of Allah came. Hazrat Jabir
had invited the creditors, too.. They came to his grove with donkeys and sacks. Jabir
was ready to take the risk of buying good kind of dates from another place in order to
pay the debts of his father.
The apostle of Allah
ﷺ
circumambulated around the largest pile of dates three
times. After sitting near or in middle of the dates, he said to Hazrat Jabir by showing
the creditors:
“Give them what they want by weighing the dates!”
Jabir paid his debt the creditors completely by weighing one by one. When
he looked at the remaining crops, it looked as if there was no decrease! “Jabir, who
had been thinking to return back to his daughter’s side without having any dates but
having paid back his father’s debts”, had now a total of seventeen loads of camels
with dates!
A Handful of Dates Feeds the Islamic Army:
The daughter of Bashir b. Sa’d, the sister of Numan b. Bashir narrates:
“Amra bint Rawaha, my mother called me. She gave me two handfuls of dates and
said to me, ‘Go and take this food to your father and Abdullah b. Rawaha, your
uncle.’ On the way, I met the Messenger of Allah
ﷺ
and asked him where father and
uncle were. The Messenger of Allah
ﷺ
said,
“O young girl! Come here! What is that with you?
I said,“O Messenger of Allah! They are dates. Mum sent them to my father and my
uncle so that they would eat them.”
He said, “Bring them to me.“I poured the dates into the hands of the Messenger of
Allah. They did not fill his hands. He wanted a tablecloth to be brought. They brought
it and lad it on the ground. He put the dates on the tablecloth and scattered them.
Then he said to the people around,
“Come here and eat! Call the Companions who are digging the trench. The people of
the trench came and started to eat. As they ate the dates, the dates increased.
