THE STORY OF SALMAN IN THE PROPHET’S INCREASING OF THAT PIECE OF GOLD TO CLEAR HIS DEBT
Salman Al-Khair said, “When I said: where is this in proportion to that debt which is upon me, O Messenger of Allah? The Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) took it and turned it on its tongue, and he said, “Take this and repay them from it.” I took it and I returned their right to them from it completely 40 ‘Taqiyyah.”
Abu Hurairah narrated, “The Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) was in an expedition and they were afflicted with hunger so he said, “O Abu Hurairah, do you have anything?” Abu Hurairah said, “Yes I have some dates in a sack that I own.” He said, “Bring it.” Abu Hurairah said, “I brought the sack.” The Prophet said, “Bring a sheet.” I brought the sheet and spread it. Then he put his hand in the sack and grabbed the dates and found there were only 21. Then he picked every date and mentioned the Name of Allah over them and said, “Call so-and-so and his companions.” They came and ate their fill and left. He again said, “Call so-and-so and his companions.” Then they ate their fill and left. He did the same again and there was still a surplus. Then he asked me to sit. I sat and he and I ate. Yet some dates remained so I put them back it in the sack and he said to me, “O Abu Hurairah, if you want some put your hand in it and take but don’t resist lest it resist you, i.e. finish.” He added: And I didn’t wish for dates except that I put my hand inside it. I took 50 Wasq from it in the path of Allah. And it was attached behind my saddle, and it dropped in the era of Uthman. Later, it disappeared.”
Jabir narrated: A man came to the Prophet (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) asking for food, so he gave him half a Wasq of barley. The man didn’t stop eating from it with his wife and their guest until they measured it. He came to the Prophet (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) who told him, “If you hadn’t measured it, and would have eaten from it, it would have remained with you.”
Jabir narrated that Umm Malik used to give Samn in her ‘Ukkah to the Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him). While her children were asking her for soup, she didn’t have anything so she went to her ‘Ukkah. In it, she found Samn. She continued having soup for her children until she squeezed it. And she came to the Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) who said, “Did you squeeze it (drain it out)?” She said, “Yes.” He said, “If you had left it, it would have remained there.”
Abu Hurairah narrated that a disbeliever came to the Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) as a guest. A sheep was milked for him and he drank its milk. The Prophet ordered another sheep to be milked and he drank its milk. He ordered another sheep to be milked and he drank the milk until he drank the milk of seven sheep. The disbeliever woke up in the morning and accepted Islam. He came to the Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) who ordered a sheep to be milked and he drank from its milk. The Prophet ordered another for him but he couldn’t finish it. The Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “The Muslim drinks in one intestine but the disbeliever drinks in 7 intestines.”
Dukain Ibn Sa‘eed Al-Khath‘ami narrated, “We came to the Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) and, we were 440 in number, asking him for food. The Prophet (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) said to Umar, “Get up and donate to them.” He said, “O Messenger of Allah, except that which is sufficient for me and my children for 4 months.” He said, “Get up and donate to them.” Umar said, “O Messenger of Allah, I hear and obey.” Then Umar stood and we stood with him and he led us to a room of his and produced the key from his pocket and opened the door. Dukain said,
“There were dates in the room the amount of a young grazing camel/cow that has stopped feeding.” Umar said, “Take as you wish.” Dukain said, “Then everyone of us took his needs as he wished, then he glanced and I was from the last of them and it was though we never took a single date from him.”
