حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَسْوَدُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ نُبَيْحٍ الْعَنَزِيِّ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، قَالَ: خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ إِلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ لِيُقَاتِلَهُمْ، وَقَالَ لِي أَبِي عَبْدُ اللهِ: يَا جَابِرُ، لَا عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تَكُونَ فِي نَظَّارِي أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ حَتَّى تَعْلَمَ إِلَى مَا يَصِيرُ أَمْرُنَا، فَإِنِّي وَاللهِ لَوْلَا أَنِّي أَتْرُكُ بَنَاتٍ لِي بَعْدِي، لَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ تُقْتَلَ بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ، قَالَ: فَبَيْنَمَا أَنَا فِي النَّظَّارِينَ إِذْ جَاءَتْ عَمَّتِي بِأَبِي، وَخَالِي عَادِلَتَهُمَا عَلَى نَاضِحٍ، فَدَخَلَتْ بِهِمَا الْمَدِينَةَ لِتَدْفِنَهُمَا فِي مَقَابِرِنَا، إِذْ لَحِقَ رَجُلٌ يُنَادِي: أَلَا " إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَأْمُرُكُمْ أَنْ تَرْجِعُوا، ، بِالْقَتْلَى، فَتَدْفِنُوهَا فِي مَصَارِعِهَا حَيْثُ قُتِلَتْ "، فَرَجَعْنَا بِهِمَا فَدَفَنَّاهُمَا حَيْثُ قُتِلَا فَبَيْنَمَا أَنَا فِي خِلَافَةِ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ إِذْ جَاءَنِي رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ: يَا جَابِرُ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ، وَاللهِ لَقَدْ أَثَارَ أَبَاكَ عُمَّالَ (١) مُعَاوِيَةَ، فَبَدَا فَخَرَجَ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْهُ، فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَوَجَدْتُهُ عَلَى النَّحْوِ الَّذِي دَفَنْتُهُ، لَمْ يَتَغَيَّرْ إِلَّا مَا لَمْ يَدَعِ الْقَتْلُ - أَوِ الْقَتِيلُ - فَوَارَيْتُهُ، قَالَ: وَتَرَكَ عَلَيْهِ (٢) دَيْنًا مِنَ التَّمْرِ فَاشْتَدَّ عَلَيَّ بَعْضُ غُرَمَائِهِ فِي التَّقَاضِي، فَأَتَيْتُ نَبِيَّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ إِنَّ أَبِي أُصِيبَ يَوْمَ كَذَا، وَكَذَا، وَتَرَكَ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنًا مِنَ التَّمْرِ، وَقدِ اشْتَدَّ عَلَيَّ بَعْضُ غُرَمَائِهِ فِي التَّقَاضِي، فَأُحِبُّ أَنْ تُعِينَنِي عَلَيْهِ لَعَلَّهُ أَنْ يُنَظِّرَنِي طَائِفَةً مِنْ تَمْرِهِ إِلَى هَذَا الصِّرَامِ الْمُقْبِلِ، فَقَالَ: " نَعَمْ، آتِيكَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ قَرِيبًا مِنْ وَسَطِ النَّهَارِ "، وَجَاءَ مَعَهُ حَوَارِيُّوهُ (٣) ، ثُمَّ اسْتَأْذَنَ، فَدَخَلَ وَقَدْ قُلْتُ لِامْرَأَتِي: إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَاءَنِي الْيَوْمَ وَسَطَ النَّهَارِ، فَلَا أَرَيَنَّكِ، وَلَا تُؤْذِي رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي بَيْتِي بِشَيْءٍ، وَلَا تُكَلِّمِيهِ، فَدَخَلَ فَفَرَشَتْ لَهُ فِرَاشًا، وَوِسَادَةً، فَوَضَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَنَامَ، قَالَ: وَقُلْتُ لِمَوْلًى لِيَ: اذْبَحْ هَذِهِ الْعَنَاقَ، وَهِيَ، ، دَاجِنٌ سَمِينَةٌ، وَالْوَحَى، وَالْعَجَلَ افْرُغْ مِنْهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَسْتَيْقِظَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَأَنَا مَعَكَ، فَلَمْ نَزَلْ فِيهَا حَتَّى فَرَغْنَا مِنْهَا، وَهُوَ نَائِمٌ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا اسْتَيْقَظَ يَدْعُو بِالطَّهُورِ، وَإِنِّي أَخَافُ إِذَا فَرَغَ أَنْ يَقُومَ، فَلَا يَفْرَغَنَّ مِنْ وُضُوئِهِ حَتَّى تَضَعَ الْعَنَاقَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، فَلَمَّا قَامَ قَالَ: " يَا جَابِرُ ائْتِنِي بِطَهُورٍ " فَلَمْ يَفْرُغْ مِنْ طُهُورِهِ حَتَّى وَضَعْتُ الْعَنَاقَ عِنْدَهُ، فَنَظَرَ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ: " كَأَنَّكَ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ حُبَّنَا لِلَّحْمِ، ادْعُ لِي أَبَا بَكْرٍ " قَالَ: ثُمَّ دَعَا حَوَارِيَّيْهِ الَّذِيْنَ مَعَهُ فَدَخَلُوا، فَضَرَبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِيَدَيْهِ وَقَالَ: " بِسْمِ اللهِ كُلُوا "، فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا، وَفَضَلَ لَحْمٌ مِنْهَا كَثِيرٌ قَالَ: وَاللهِ إِنَّ مَجْلِسَ بَنِي سَلِمَةَ لَيَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيْهِ، وَهُوَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِمْ مِنْ أَعْيُنِهِمْ، مَا يَقْرُبُهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يُؤْذُوهُ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغُوا (١) قَامَ، وَقَامَ أَصْحَابُهُ فَخَرَجُوا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، وَكَانَ يَقُولُ: " خَلُّوا (٢) ظَهْرِي لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ "، وَاتَّبَعْتُهُمْ حَتَّى بَلَغُوا أُسْكُفَّةَ الْبَابِ، قَالَ: وَأَخْرَجَتْ امْرَأَتِي صَدْرَهَا، وَكَانَتْ مُسْتَتِرَةً بِسَفِيفٍ (٣) فِي الْبَيْتِ، قَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلِّ عَلَيَّ، وَعَلَى زَوْجِي صَلَّى الله عَلَيْكَ. فَقَالَ: " صَلَّى الله عَلَيْكِ، وَعَلَى زَوْجِكِ "، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " ادْعُ لِي فُلَانًا " لِغَرِيمِي الَّذِي اشْتَدَّ عَلَيَّ فِي الطَّلَبِ،، ، قَالَ: فَجَاءَ فَقَالَ: " أَيْسِرْ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ - يَعْنِي إِلَى الْمَيْسَرَةِ - طَائِفَةً مِنْ دَيْنِكَ الَّذِي عَلَى أَبِيهِ، إِلَى هَذَا الصِّرَامِ الْمُقْبِلِ "، قَالَ: مَا أَنَا بِفَاعِلٍ، وَاعْتَلَّ وَقَالَ: إِنَّمَا هُوَ مَالُ يَتَامَى، فَقَالَ: " أَيْنَ جَابِرٌ؟ " فَقَالَ: أَنَا ذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ: " كِلْ لَهُ، فَإِنَّ اللهَ سَوْفَ يُوَفِّيهِ "، فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ، فَإِذَا الشَّمْسُ قَدْ دَلَكَتْ، قَالَ: " الصَّلَاةَ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ " فَانْدَفَعُوا إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَقُلْتُ: قَرِّبْ أَوْعِيَتَكَ، فَكِلْتُ لَهُ مِنَ الْعَجْوَةِ فَوَفَّاهُ اللهُ، وَفَضَلَ لَنَا مِنَ التَّمْرِ كَذَا وَكَذَا، فَجِئْتُ أَسْعَى إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي مَسْجِدِهِ، كَأَنِّي شَرَارَةٌ فَوَجَدْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ صَلَّى، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنِّي كِلْتُ لِغَرِيمِي تَمْرَهُ، فَوَفَّاهُ اللهُ، وَفَضَلَ لَنَا مِنَ التَّمْرِ كَذَا وَكَذَا، فَقَالَ: " أَيْنَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ؟ " فَجَاءَ يُهَرْوِلُ، فَقَالَ: " سَلْ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنْ غَرِيمِهِ، وَتَمْرِهِ " فَقَالَ: مَا أَنَا بِسَائِلِهِ قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ اللهَ سَوْفَ يُوَفِّيهِ، إِذْ أَخْبَرْتَ أَنَّ اللهَ سَوْفَ يُوَفِّيهِ، فَكَرَّرَ عَلَيْهِ هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَةَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، كُلُّ ذَلِكَ يَقُولُ: " مَا أَنَا بِسَائِلِهِ، وَكَانَ لَا يُرَاجِعُ بَعْدَ الْمَرَّةِ الثَّالِثَةِ، فَقَالَ: يَا جَابِرُ مَا فَعَلَ غَرِيمُكَ وَتَمْرُكَ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: وَفَّاهُ اللهُ، وَفَضَلَ لَنَا مِنَ التَّمْرِ كَذَا، وَكَذَا فَرَجَعَ إِلَى امْرَأَتِهِ، فَقَالَ: أَلَمْ أَكُنْ نَهَيْتُكِ أَنْ تُكَلِّمِي رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ قَالَتْ: أَكُنْتَ تَظُنُّ أَنَّ اللهَ يُورِدُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْتِي، ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ، وَلَا أَسْأَلُهُ الصَّلَاةَ عَلَيَّ، وَعَلَى زَوْجِي قَبْلَ أَنْ، يَخْرُجَ (١)، ،

It is narrated from Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) set out from Madinah Munawwarah to fight the polytheists. My father, Abdullah, had told me, "Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him), do not go out until you know what has happened to us. By Allah, if I had not left daughters behind, I would have wished that you attain martyrdom before me." So I stayed in my orchard, when suddenly my paternal aunt brought my father and my maternal uncle, carrying them on a camel. She entered Madinah Munawwarah to bury them in our graveyard. Suddenly, a man came announcing, "The Prophet (ﷺ) commands you to take your slain back and bury them where they were martyred." So we took both of them back and buried them at the place of martyrdom. During the caliphate of Amir Muawiyah, a man came to me and said, "O Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him), the governors of Muawiyah have dug up your father's grave, and he is visible in his grave." I went there and found him in the same state as when I had buried him; there was no change in him except for a slight thing that naturally happens due to being killed. Then I completed his burial. My father had also left a debt of dates upon himself. The creditors began to demand it from me strictly. Compelled, I came to the service of the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), my father was martyred at such-and-such an occasion and left a debt of dates upon me. The creditors have started to demand it from me strictly. I wish that you help me so that they may grant me a year's respite." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Alright, I will come to you at midday, inshaAllah." So the Prophet (ﷺ) came with a few companions and, after seeking permission, entered the house. I had already told my wife that the Prophet (ﷺ) would come at midday, but do not let yourself be seen by me, do not cause any discomfort to the Prophet (ﷺ), and do not make any request from him. Nevertheless, she spread a bed for the Prophet (ﷺ) and placed a pillow, upon which the Prophet (ﷺ) rested his head and slept. I told one of my slaves, "Quickly slaughter this goat and finish before the Prophet (ﷺ) wakes up. I will help you." So before the Prophet (ﷺ) woke up, we finished with it. I told him, "When the Prophet (ﷺ) wakes up, he will ask for water for ablution. As soon as he finishes ablution, immediately present the food before him." So it happened that when he woke up from sleep, the Prophet (ﷺ) asked for water, and before he could finish ablution, the food was placed before him. The Prophet (ﷺ) looked at me and said, "Perhaps you have also noticed our fondness for meat." Call Abu Bakr." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) called the other companions who had come with him. They came. The Prophet (ﷺ) put his hand in the food and said, "In the name of Allah, eat." All of them ate to their fill, yet much meat was left. By Allah, the people of Banu Salamah were sitting and watching the Prophet (ﷺ); this scene was very beloved to them, but they did not come near only because they did not want to cause any discomfort to the Prophet (ﷺ). When those people finished eating, the Prophet (ﷺ) and his companions stood up. The companions walked ahead, and the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Leave my back for the angels." I also walked behind them. When they reached near the door, my wife, from behind a pillar, said, "O Messenger of Allah! Pray for me and my husband." May Allah send blessings upon you. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "May Allah send His mercy upon you and your husband." Then, mentioning my creditor by name, he said, "Bring him here." He was the same person who was demanding the debt very strictly. He came. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to him, "Give Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) a little respite until next year." He said, "I will not do so." He became even more obstinate and said, "This is the wealth of orphans." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Where is Jabir?" I said, "O Messenger of Allah! I am here." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Start measuring and giving (the dates). Allah will make it sufficient." I looked up at the sky, and the sun had declined. I said, "O Abu Bakr! The time for prayer has come." So they went to the mosque, and I said to the creditor, "Bring your container," and I measured out Ajwa dates for him. Allah made it sufficient, and even more was left over. I ran to the mosque and presented myself to the Prophet (ﷺ). By that time, the Prophet (ﷺ) had finished the prayer. I said, "O Messenger of Allah! Please see, I have measured out the dates for my creditor, and Allah made it sufficient, and even more was left over." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Where is Umar ibn Khattab?" He came running. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to him, "Ask Jabir about his creditor and the dates." He said, "I will not ask, because when you said that Allah will make it sufficient, I was sure that Allah would make it sufficient." This was repeated three times. The third time, he did not like to reject the Prophet's (ﷺ) words and asked, "Jabir! What happened with your creditor and the dates?" I told him that Allah had made it sufficient, and even more was left over. Then I came home and said to my wife, "Did I not forbid you from speaking to the Prophet (ﷺ)?" She said, "Do you think that Allah brought the Prophet (ﷺ) to my house, and when he was about to leave, I would not request him to pray for me and my husband?"
