Home Hadith Hadith 2299
I went to the Prophet (ﷺ) while he was in the Mosque. (Mas`ar thinks, that Jabir went in the forenoon.)
After the Prophet (ﷺ) told me to pray two rak`at, he repaid me the debt he owed me and gave me an extra
amount.

The Prophet (ﷺ) owed a camel of a certain age to a man who came to demand it back. The Prophet (ﷺ)
ordered his companions to give him. They looked for a camel of the same age but found nothing but a
camel one year older. The Prophet (ﷺ) told them to give it to him. The man said, "You have paid me in
full, and may Allah pay you in full." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The best amongst you is he who pays his
debts in the most handsome manner."

My father was martyred on the day (of the battle) of Uhud, and he was in debt. His creditors
demanded 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 date-palms 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.
