Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that `Abdullah bin Mas`ud
said, “When this Ayah,
(Who is he
that will lend Allah handsome loan: then (Allah) will increase it manifold to
his credit (in repaying),) was revealed,
Abu Ad-Dahdah Al-Ansari said, “O Allah’s Messenger!
Does Allah ask us for a loan”
The Prophet said, “Yes, O Abu Ad-Dahdah.”
He said, `Give me your hand, O Allah’s Messenger,’
and the Prophet placed his hand in his hand.
Abu Ad-Dahdah said, `Verily, I have given my garden
as a loan to my Lord.’ He had a garden that contained six hundred date trees;
his wife and children were living in that garden too. Abu Ad-Dahdah went
to his wife and called her, `Umm Ad-Dahdah!’ She said, `here I am.’ He
said, `leave the garden, because I have given it as a loan to my Lord, the
Exalted and Most Honored.’ She said, `That is a successful trade, O
Abu Ad-Dahdah! ‘She then transferred her goods and children. The Messenger of
Allah said,
(How
plentiful are the sweet date clusters that Abu Ad-Dahdah has in
Paradise!)” In another narration, the Prophet said,
(How many a
date tree that has lowered down its clusters, which are full of pearls and gems
in Paradise for Abu Ad-Dahdah!)
