Abdullah bin 'Amr bin died and was in debt to others. I asked the Prophet (ﷺ) to intercede with his creditors for some reduction in the debts. The Prophet (ﷺ) requested them (to reduce the debts), but they refused. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to me, "Go and put your dates (in heaps) according to their different kinds, the ' Ajwa on one side, the cluster of Zaid on another side, etc., then call me." ' I did that and called the Prophet (ﷺ) He came and sat at the head or in the middle of the heaps and ordered me, Measure (the dates) for the people (creditors)." I measured for them till I paid all the debts. My dates remained as if nothing had been taken from them. [3:337-O.B]
