حديث أَنَسٍ رضي الله عنها، قَالَ: كَانَ الرَجُلُ يَجْعَلُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ النَّخَلَاتِ، حَتَّى افْتَتَحَ قُرَيْظَةَ وَالنَّضِيرَ وَإِنَّ أَهْلِي أَمَرُونِي أَنْ آتِيَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَسْأَلَهُ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا أَعْطَوْهُ أَوْ بَعْضَهُ؛ وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَدْ أَعْطَاهُ أُمَّ أَيْمَنَ؛ فَجَاءَتْ أُمُّ أَيْمَنَ فَجَعَلتِ الثَّوْبَ فِي عُنُقِي، تَقُولُ: كَلَاّ وَالَّذِي لا إِلهَ إِلَاّ هُوَ لَا يُعْطِيكَهُمْ وَقَدْ أَعْطَانِيَها أَوْ كَمَا قَالَتْ وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَقُولُ: لَكِ كَذَا وَتَقُولُ: كَلَاّ وَاللهِ حَتَّى أَعْطَاهَا عَشَرَةَ أَمْثَالِهِ، أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ.
Anas Narrated from:
Some (of the Ansâr) used to present date-palm trees to the Prophet ﷺ till Banû Quraiza and Banû An-Nadîr were conquered (then he returned to the people their date-palms). My people ordered me to ask the Prophet ﷺ to return some or all the date-palms they had given to him, but the Prophet ﷺ had given those trees to Umm Aiman.On that, Umm Aiman came and put the garment around my neck and said, "No, by Him except Whom none has the right to be worshipped, he will not return those trees to you as he (i.e. the Prophet ﷺ) has given them to me." The Prophet ﷺ said (to her), "Return those trees and I will give you so much (instead of them)." But she kept on refusing, saying, "No, by Allâh," till he gave her ten times the number of her date-palms. ( Sahîh Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 446, Vol. 5)
