It has been narrated by Anas that (after his migration to Medina) a person placed at the Prophet's (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) disposal some date-palms growing on his land until the lands of Quraiza and Nadir were conquered. Then he began to return to him whatever he had received. (In this connection) my people told me to approach the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) and ask from him what his people had given him or a portion thereof, but the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) had bestowed those trees upon Umm Aiman. So I came to the Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) and he gave hem (back) to me. Umm Aiman (also) came (at this time). She put the cloth round my neck and said: No, by Allaah, we will not give to, you what he has granted to me. The Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Umm Aiman, let him have them and for you are such and such trees instead. But she said: By Allaah, there is none worthy of worship (in truth) besides Him. No, never! The Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) continued saying: (You will get) such and such. until he had granted her ten times or nearly ten times more (than the original gift).
