Sahih al-Bukhari 5443

It is related that Jabir ibn 'Abdullah said, "There was a Jew in Madina who used to give me a loan against my dates up until the time that they were cut. (Jabir had some land which was on the road to Ruma.) There was no crop and there was a delay of a year. The Jew came at the time of cutting the dates and I had not cut any dates. I asked him to give him a delay until the following year but he refused. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was informed about that and said to his Companions, 'Let us go and ask the Jew for a delay for Jabir.' They came to me in my palm trees and the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, began to speak to the Jew who said, 'Abu'l-Qasim, I will not give him a delay.' When the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, saw that, he stood up and walked around the palm trees and then went back to the Jew, spoke to him again, but he still refused. I got up and brought a few fresh dates and put them in front of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. He ate and then said, 'Where is your hut, Jabir?' I told him and he said, 'Make a bed for me in it.' I made a bed and he went inside and went to sleep. Then he woke up and I brought him another handful of dates and he ate some of them. Then he rose and spoke to the Jew who again refused his request. Then he stood among the palm trees with fresh dates again. Then he said, 'Jabir, cut and settle your debt.' He stood while they were being cut. I cut from them that which paid the debt and the like of them was left over. I went to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and told him the good news and he said, 'I testify that I am the Messenger of Allah." "'Arsh (throne)" (27:23) and "'arish" is a structure. "Ma'rushat" (6:141) are grapevines and the like on trellises. It is said that "'urushiha" (2:259) are its buildings. Muhammad ibn Isma'il said, "I do not think that 'fa-hala' is exact." Then he said, "There is no doubt about 'fa-khala'."
