my own hands.❞ So I dug the holes for them, and my companions helped me, then<br />
when I had finished, I came to him and told him. The Messenger of <strong>Al</strong>laah ﷺ came<br />
out with me and we began handing him the seedlings and the Messenger of <strong>Al</strong>laah<br />
planted them with his own hands. By the One in Whose Hand is the soul of ﷺ<br />
Salmaan, not one of those plants died. 102 So I had paid off for the trees but there still<br />
remained the money. A piece of gold, the size of an egg, was brought to the Messenger<br />
of <strong>Al</strong>laah ﷺ from one of his campaigns. He said: ❝What happened to the Persian<br />
who had a contract of manumission?❞ I was summoned to him and he ﷺ said: ❝<br />
Take this and pay off what you owe, O Salmaan.❞ I said: “How could this pay off<br />
everything I owe (to the Jew), O Messenger of <strong>Al</strong>laah?” He ﷺ said: ❝Take it, and<br />
<strong>Al</strong>laah will help you to pay off your debt.❞ Salmaan said: So I took it and weighed it<br />
for them, and by the One in Whose hand is the soul of Salmaan, it was (equivalent to)<br />
forty Uqiyahs, so I paid my dues in full and Salmaan was set free.<br />
I was present with the Messenger of <strong>Al</strong>laah ﷺ at the battle of al-Khandaq (Trench) as<br />
103 104<br />
a free man, and after that I never missed any major event with him.<br />
102 I (Shaikh al-<strong>Al</strong>baanee) say: In one of the narrations reported by Imaam Aḥmad in his Musnad (23730) the<br />
wording is: “The Messenger of <strong>Al</strong>laah ﷺ planted all of them with his own hands except for the one which I had<br />
planted with my own hands. <strong>Al</strong>l of them stuck in except for one.” In this narration, there is `<strong>Al</strong>ee Ibn Zaid, and he is<br />
Ibn Jad`aan and he is “Weak”.<br />
103 I (al-<strong>Al</strong>baanee) say: The chain of this narration is “Ṣaḥeeḥ”. And from the route of Ibn Is-ḥaaq, Imaam Aḥmad<br />
reported it in his Musnad (23737), and Abu Nu`aim in “Dalaa’il al-Nubuwwah” (199). Imaam al-Bukhaaree<br />
mentioned some parts of it in “Mu`allaq” form (i.e. without a chain).<br />
<strong>Al</strong>-Ḥaakim also reported it in his Mustadrak (6543, 6544), with a narration which is even longer than this. Ibn<br />
Katheer mentioned some parts of it in his book and then commented: “There are many strange things in this<br />
narration with these wording, and some parts oppose the narration reported by Ibn Is-ḥaaq. And the narration<br />
through the route of Ibn Is-ḥaaq is stronger in terms of its chain and better in its narrative and closer to what al-<br />
Bukhaaree reported.” So when al-Ḥaakim said that the Ḥadeeth is “Ṣaḥeeḥ”, al-Dhahabee followed it by saying:<br />
“Rather it is agreed upon its weakness.” The defect is because in its chain is `<strong>Al</strong>ee Ibn `Aaṣim al-Waasiṭee, he is<br />
truthful but makes mistakes and combines (different narrations into one), as Ibn Ḥajr had mentioned in “al-<br />
Taqreeb”.<br />
104 Narrated Abu Hurairah ُ رضيُ هللا : While we were sitting with the Prophet ﷺ Surat al-Jumu`ah was revealed<br />
عنه<br />
to him, and when the Prophet ﷺ recited the Aayah:<br />
﴿وَآخَرِينَُُمِن ه م ُُلَمَّاُيَُل حَق واُِبِِم ُ﴾<br />
{And He (<strong>Al</strong>laah) has sent him (Prophet (ﷺ also to others among them (Muslims) who have not yet joined<br />
them (but they will come)…} [Surah al-Jumu`ah (62): 3]<br />
I said: “Who are they, O <strong>Al</strong>laah's Messenger ”?ﷺ The Prophet ﷺ did not reply till I repeated my question<br />
thrice. At that time, Salmaan al-Faarisee was with us. So <strong>Al</strong>laah’s Messenger ﷺ put his hand on Salmaan,<br />
