Narrated Abu Dhar:
Once, while I was in the company of the
Prophet, he saw the mountain of Uhud and said,
"I would not like to have this mountain
turned into gold for me unless nothing of it, not
even a single Dinar remains of it with me for more
than three days (i.e. I will spend all of it in
Allah's Cause), except that Dinar which I will
keep for repaying debts." Then he said,
"Those who are rich in this world would have
little reward in the Hereafter except those who
spend their money here and there (in Allah's
Cause), and they are few in number." Then he
ordered me to stay at my place and went not far
away. I heard a voice and intended to go to him
but I remembered his order, "Stay at your
place till I return." On his return I said,
"O Allah's Apostle! (What was) that noise
which I heard?" He said, "Did you hear
anything?" I said, "Yes." He said,
"Gabriel came and said to me, 'Whoever
amongst your followers dies, worshipping none
along with Allah, will enter Paradise.' " I
said, "Even if he did such-and-such things
(i.e. even if he stole or committed illegal sexual
intercourse)" He said, "Yes."

Buy a camel and give it to him." They said,

among you are those who repay their debts
handsomely. "

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:
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 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.

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."

prayer saying, "O Allah, I seek refuge with
you from all sins, and from being in debt."
Someone said, O Allah's Apostle! (I see you) very
often you seek refuge with Allah from being in
debt. He replied, "If a person is in debt, he
tells lies when he speaks, and breaks his promises
when he promises."

The Prophet said, "I am closer to the
believers than their selves in this world and in
the Hereafter, and if you like, you can read
Allah's Statement: "The Prophet is closer to
the believers than their own selves." (33.6)
So, if a true believer dies and leaves behind some
property, it will be for his inheritors (from the
father's side), and if he leaves behind some debt
to be paid or needy offspring, then they should
come to me as I am the guardian of the
deceased."

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
refused. 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 exhaustion
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.

to beg of men (begging). And Allah has hated for

guardian of his family and is responsible for it;
a lady is a guardian of her husband's house and is
responsible for it, and a servant is a guardian of
his master's property and is responsible for
it." I heard that from Allah's Apostle and I
think that the Prophet also said, "A man is a
guardian of is father's property and is
responsible for it, so all of you are guardians
and responsible for your wards and things under
your care."

"Don't differ, for the nations before you
differed and perished (because of their
differences). "

hand and slapped the Jew on the face. The Jew went
to the Prophet and informed him of what had
happened between him and the Muslim. The Prophet
sent for the Muslim and asked him about it. The
Muslim informed him of the event. The Prophet
said, "Do not give me superiority over Moses,
for on the Day of Resurrection all the people will
fall unconscious and I will be one of them, but I
will. be the first to gain consciousness, and will
see Moses standing and holding the side of the
Throne (of Allah). I will not know whether (Moses)
has also fallen unconscious and got up before me,
or Allah has exempted him from that stroke."

one of the Ansar. The Prophet sent for him, and on
his arrival, he asked him whether he had beaten
the Jew. He (replied in the affirmative and) said,
"I heard him taking an oath in the market
saying, 'By Him Who gave Moses superiority over
all the human beings.' I said, 'O wicked man! (Has
Allah given Moses superiority) even over Muhammad
I became furious
and slapped him over his face." The
Prophet said, "Do not give a prophet
superiority over another, for on the Day of
Resurrection all the people will fall unconscious
and I will be the first to emerge from the earth,
and will see Moses standing and holding one of the
legs of the Throne. I will not know whether Moses
has fallen unconscious or the first
unconsciousness was sufficient for him."

saying concerned me. I had common land with a Jew,
and the Jew later on denied my ownership, so I
took him to the Prophet who asked me whether I had
a proof of my ownership. When I replied in the
negative, the Prophet asked the Jew to take an
oath. I said, "O Allah's Apostle! He will
take an oath and deprive me of my property."

the cost of Allah's covenant and their
oaths." (3.77)

finished, then I tied his garment round his neck
and seized him by it and brought him to Allah's
Apostle and said, "I have heard him reciting
Surat-al-Furqan in a way different to the way you
taught it to me." The Prophet ordered me to
release him and asked Hisham to recite it. When he
recited it, Allah s Apostle said, "It was
revealed in this way." He then asked me to
recite it. When I recited it, he said, "It
was revealed in this way. The Qur'an has been
revealed in seven different ways, so recite it in
the way that is easier for you."

father, and was born or my father's bed." The

and will pay your right." So, thus revelation
came: "Have you seen him who disbelieved in
Our signs and yet says, 'I will be given property
and offspring?' " (19.77)
