عَنْ عَلِىِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ مَنْصُورٍ عَنِ اللَّيْثِ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ ذَكَرَ أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ سَأَلَ بَعْضَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يُسْلِفَهُ أَلْفَ دِينَارٍ قَالَ ائْتِنِي بِشُهَدَاءَ أُشْهِدُهُمْ قَالَ كَفَى بِاللهِ شَهِيدًا قَالَ ائْتِنِي بِكَفِيلٍ قَالَ كَفَى بِاللهِ كَفِيلًا قَالَ صَدَقْتَ فَدَفَعَهَا إِلَيْهِ إِلَى أَجَلٍ مُسَمَّى فَخَرَجَ فِي الْبَحْرِ فَقَضَى حَاجَتَهُ ثُمَّ الْتَمَسَ مَرْكَبًا يَقْدُمُ عَلَيْهِ لِلْأَجَلِ الَّذِي أَجَّلَهُ فَلَمْ يَجِدْ مَرْكَبًا فَأَخَذَ خَشَبَةً فَنَقَرَهَا فَأَدْخَلَ فِيهَا أَلْفَ دِينَارٍ وَصَحِيفَةً مَعَهَا إِلَى صَاحِبِهَا ثُمَّ زَجَّجَ مَوْضِعَهَا ثُمَّ أَتَى بِهَا الْبَحْرَ ثُمَّ قَالَ اللهُمَّ إِنَّكَ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ أَنِّي اسْتَسْلَفْتُ فُلَانًا أَلْفَ دِينَارٍ فَسَأَلَنِي كَفِيلًا فَقُلْتُ كَفَى بِاللهِ كَفِيلًا فَرَضِيَ بِكَ وَسَأَلَنِي شَهِيدًا فَقُلْتُ كَفَى بِاللهِ شَهِيدًا فَرَضِىَ بِكَ وَإِنِّي قَدْ جَهِدْتُ أَنْ أَجِدَ مَرْكَبًا أَبْعَثُ إِلَيْهِ بِالَّذِي أَعْطَانِي فَلَمْ أَجِدْ مَرْكَبًا فَإِنِّي أَسْتَوْدِعَكَهَا فَرَمَى بِهَا الْبَحْرَ حَتَّى وَلِجَتْ فِيهِ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ وَهُوَ فِي ذَلِكَ يَطْلُبُ مَرْكَبًا يَخْرُجُ إِلَى بَلَدِهِ فَخَرَجَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي كَانَ أَسْلَفَهُ يَنْظُرُ لَعَلَّ مَرْكَبًا يَجِيئُهُ بِمَالِهِ فَإِذَا بِالْخَشَبَةِ الَّتِي فِيهَا الْمَالُ فَأَخَذَهَا لِأَهْلِهِ حَطَبًا فَلَمَّا كَسَرَهَا وَجَدَ الْمَالَ وَالصَّحِيفَةَ ثُمَّ قَدِمَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي كَانَ تَسَلَّفَ مِنْهُ فَأَتَاهُ بِأَلْفِ دِينَارٍ وَقَالَ وَاللهِ مَازِلْتُ جَاهِدًا فِي طَلَبِ مَرْكَبٍ لِآتِيَكَ بِمَالِكَ فَمَا وَجَدْتُ مَرْكَبًا قَبْلَ الَّذِي أَتَيْتُ فِيهِ قَالَ هَلْ كُنْتَ بَعَثْتَ إِلَيَّ بِشَيْءٍ؟ قَالَ أَلَمْ أُخْبِرْكَ أَنِّي لَمْ أَجِدْ مَرْكَبًا قَبْلَ هَذَا الَّذِي جِئْتُ فِيهِ؟ قَالَ فَإِنَّ اللهَ قَدْ أَدَّى عَنْكَ الَّذِي بَعَثْتَ بِهِ فِي الْخَشَبَةِ فَانْصَرَفْ بِأَلْفِكَ رَاشِدًا

✧ It was narrated from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he mentioned that a man from the Children of Israel asked one of the Children of Israel to lend him a thousand dinars. He said: "Bring me witnesses that I may call them to witness." He said: "Allah is sufficient as a witness." He said: "Bring me a guarantor." He said: "Allah is sufficient as a guarantor." He said: "You have spoken the truth," so he gave it to him for a fixed term. He went out to sea and fulfilled his need. Then he sought a ship that would bring him back by the appointed term, but he found no ship. So he took a piece of wood, hollowed it out, placed inside it a thousand dinars and a letter to its owner, then sealed its opening and brought it to the sea. Then he said: "O Allah, You know that I borrowed a thousand dinars from so-and-so. He asked me for a guarantor and I said: Allah is sufficient as a guarantor, and he accepted You. He asked me for a witness and I said: Allah is sufficient as a witness, and he accepted You. I have exerted myself to find a ship to send him what he gave me, but I found no ship. I entrust it to You." Then he threw it into the sea until it went in, then departed, still seeking a ship to return to his land. The man who had lent him went out looking, hoping a ship might bring him his wealth, and there was the piece of wood containing the money. He took it for his family as firewood, but when he broke it open, he found the money and the letter. Then the man who had borrowed from him arrived and brought him a thousand dinars, saying: "By Allah, I kept striving to find a ship to bring you your money, but I found no ship before the one on which I came." He said: "Did you send me anything?" He said: "Did I not tell you that I found no ship before the one on which I came?" He said: "Allah has delivered on your behalf what you sent in the piece of wood. Take your thousand dinars and depart, rightly guided."
