وَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ، عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ - ؓ
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بَعَثَ رَجُلًا إِلَى قَوْمٍ فَطَمَسَ عَلَيْهِمْ نَخْلَهُمْ، فَأَتَوْا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالُوا: أَتَانَا فُلَانٌ فَطَمَسَ عَلَيْنَا نَخْلَنَا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: لَقَدْ بَعَثْتُهُ وَإِنَّهُ لَفِي نَفْسِي لَأَمِينٌ، فَإِنْ شِئْتُمْ أَخَذْتُمْ مَا طَمَسَ عَلَيْكُمْ، وَإِنْ شِئْتُمْ أَخَذْنَاهُ، وَرَدَدْنَاهُ عَلَيْكُمْ. قَالُوا: هَذَا الْحَقُّ، وَبِالْحَقِّ قَامَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالْأَرْضُ.

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent a man to a people and he estimated their palm trees, so they came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: 'So-and-so came to us and estimated our palm trees.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'I sent him, and in my soul he is trustworthy. If you wish, take what he estimated for you, and if you wish, we will take it and return it to you.' They said: 'This is the truth, and by the truth the heavens and the earth stand.'
