Narrated `Abdullah bin Ka`b bin Malik from Ka`b bin Malik: `Abdullah bin Abu Hadrad Al-Aslami owed Ka`b bin Malik some money. One day the latter met the former and demanded his right, and their voices grew very loud. The Prophet passed by them and said, O Ka`b, beckoning with his hand as if intending to say, Deduct half the debts. So, Ka`b took half what the other owed him and remitted the other half.

Allah's Apostle said to Az-Zubair, O Zubair! Irrigate (your garden) first, and then let the water flow to your neighbor. The Ansari became angry and said, O Allah's Apostle! Is it because he is your cousin? On that the complexion of Allah's Apostle changed (because of anger) and said (to Az-Zubair), I irrigate (your garden) and then withhold the water till it reaches the walls (surrounding the palms). So, Allah's Apostle gave Az-Zubair his full right. Before that Allah's Apostle had given a generous judgment beneficial for Az-Zubair and the Ansari, but when the Ansan irritated Allah's Apostle he gave Az-Zubair his full right according to the evident law. Az-Zubair said, By Allah ! I think the following Verse was revealed concerning that case: But no by your Lord They can have No faith Until they make you judge In all disputes between them. (4.65)

I suggested that his creditors take the fruits (i.e. dates) of my garden in lieu of the debt of my father, but they refused the offer, as they thought that it would not cover the full debt. So, I went to the Prophet and told him about it. He said (to me), When you pluck the dates and collect them in the Mirbad (i.e. a place where dates are dried), call me (Allah's Apostle). Finally he came accompanied by Abu Bakr and `Umar and sat on the dates and invoked Allah to bless them. Then he said, Call your creditors and give them their full rights. So, I paid all my father's creditors in full and yet thirteen extra Wasqs of dates remained, seven of which were 'Ajwa and six were Laun or six of which were Ajwa and seven were Laun. I met Allah's Apostle at sunset and informed him about it. On that he smiled and said, Go to Abu Bakr and `Umar and tell them about it. They said, We perceived that was going to happen, as Allah's Apostle did what he did.

Allah's Apostle then said (to Ibn Abu Hadrad), Get up and pay him the rest.

The Muslims did not like this condition and got disgusted with it. Suhail did not agree except with that condition. So, the Prophet agreed to that condition and returned Abu Jandal to his father Suhail bin `Amr. Thenceforward the Prophet returned everyone in that period (of truce) even if he was a Muslim. During that period some believing women emigrants including Um Kulthum bint `Uqba bin Abu Muait who came to Allah's Apostle and she was a young lady then. Her relative came to the Prophet and asked him to return her, but the Prophet did not return her to them for Allah had revealed the following Verse regarding women: O you who believe! When the believing women come to you as emigrants. Examine them, Allah knows best as to their belief, then if you know them for true believers, Send them not back to the unbelievers, (for) they are not lawful (wives) for the disbelievers, Nor are the unbelievers lawful (husbands) for them (60.10)
