A successful trade Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that `Abdullah bin Mas`ud said, “When this Ayah, Who is he that will lend to All ah a goodly loan so that He may multiply it to him many times? ... [ Soorah al-Baqarah 2.245] 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!
