Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ لِفُلَانٍ نَخْلَةً وَأَنَا أُقِيمُ حَائِطِي بِهَا فَأْمُرْهُ أَنْ يُعْطِيَنِي حَتَّى أُقِيمَ حَائِطِي بِهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَعْطِهَا إِيَّاهُ بِنَخْلَةٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَأَبَى فَأَتَاهُ أَبُو الدَّحْدَاحِ فَقَالَ بِعْنِي نَخْلَتَكَ بِحَائِطِي فَفَعَلَ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي قَدْ ابْتَعْتُ النَّخْلَةَ بِحَائِطِي قَالَ فَاجْعَلْهَا لَهُ فَقَدْ أَعْطَيْتُكَهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَمْ مِنْ عَذْقٍ رَاحَ لِأَبِي الدَّحْدَاحِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ قَالَهَا مِرَارًا قَالَ فَأَتَى امْرَأَتَهُ فَقَالَ يَا أُمَّ الدَّحْدَاحِ اخْرُجِي مِنْ الْحَائِطِ فَإِنِّي قَدْ بِعْتُهُ بِنَخْلَةٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَقَالَتْ رَبِحَ الْبَيْعُ أَوْ كَلِمَةً تُشْبِهُهَا.
English Translation
Hasan narrated to us: Hammad ibn Salama narrated to us, from Thabit, from Anas: that a man said: "O Messenger of Allah, so-and-so has a palm tree, and I need it to enclose my garden wall; order him to give it to me so that I may enclose my wall with it." The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said to him [the owner]: "Give it to him in exchange for a palm tree in Paradise," but he refused. Then Abu al-Dahdah came to him and said: "Sell me your palm tree for my garden." He agreed, and Abu al-Dahdah came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and said: "O Messenger of Allah, I have bought the palm tree with my garden." He said: "Then give it to him, for I have given it to you [in Paradise]." So the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "How many a cluster of dates has gone for Abu al-Dahdah in Paradise!"—saying it several times. He said: Then he went to his wife and said: "O Umm al-Dahdah, come out of the garden, for I have sold it for a palm tree in Paradise." She said: "The trade has profited," or words to that effect.
