Bir adam\u0131n hurma a\u011fa\u00e7lar\u0131 vard\u0131 ve bunlardan birinin dal\u0131 fakir ama \u00e2ilesi kalabal\u0131k olan salih bir ki\u015finin evine sark\u0131yordu. Adam evine gelip de a\u011fa\u00e7tan hurmalar\u0131 toplamaya \u00e7\u0131k\u0131nca kom\u015fusunun evine ondan baz\u0131lar\u0131 d\u00fc\u015fer, fakir kom\u015funun \u00e7ocuklar\u0131 da onlar\u0131 al\u0131p yemek isterlerdi. Ama adam hemen a\u011fa\u00e7tan iner ve \u00e7ocuklar\u0131n ellerinden hurmalar\u0131 \u00e7ekip al\u0131rd\u0131. E\u011fer \u00e7ocuk meyveyi a\u011fz\u0131na alm\u0131\u015fsa \u00e7ocu\u011fun a\u011fz\u0131na parma\u011f\u0131n\u0131 sokar ve hurmay\u0131 geri \u00e7\u0131karmaya \u00e7al\u0131\u015f\u0131rd\u0131.<\/p>\n
Fakir kom\u015fu Hz. Peygamber\u2019e gelerek bu durumu \u015fik\u00e2yet etti ve hurma sahibinin yapt\u0131klar\u0131n\u0131 bir bir anlatt\u0131. Ras\u00fblullah (s.a.v):<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2013Sen \u015fimdi git!\u201d<\/i> buyurdu.<\/p>\n
Allah Ras\u00fbl\u00fc (s.a.v), hurma sahibiyle kar\u015f\u0131la\u015ft\u0131\u011f\u0131nda ona:<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2013Dal\u0131 fil\u00e2n kom\u015funun evine sarkan hurma a\u011fac\u0131n\u0131 bana ver, buna kar\u015f\u0131l\u0131k sana cennette bir hurma a\u011fac\u0131 verilsin\u201d <\/i>buyurdu.<\/p>\n
Adam:<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2013O a\u011fac\u0131 Sana verirdim, l\u00e2kin onun meyvesi benim \u00e7ok ho\u015fuma gidiyor. Pek \u00e7ok hurma a\u011fac\u0131m olmas\u0131na ra\u011fmen meyvesi ondan daha \u00e7ok ho\u015fuma gideni yok\u201d dedi ve ayr\u0131l\u0131p gitti.<\/p>\n
Adam m\u00fcnaf\u0131k idi, l\u00e2kin Efendimiz onun h\u00e2lini bilmiyordu.<\/p>\n
Ras\u00fblullah (s.a.v) ile adam\u0131n konu\u015fmalar\u0131n\u0131 i\u015fiten Hz. Osman (r.a), hemen Peygamber Efendimiz\u2019e gelerek:<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2013Ey Allah\u2019\u0131n Ras\u00fbl\u00fc, o a\u011fac\u0131 al\u0131p Siz\u2019e verirsem, bana da cennette bir a\u011fa\u00e7 verilir mi?\u201d diye sordu.<\/p>\n
Hz. Peygamber (s.a.v):<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2013O istedi\u011fin a\u011fa\u00e7 senindir\u201d<\/i> buyurdu.<\/p>\n
Hz. Osman gidip hurman\u0131n sahibini buldu. Adam:<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2013Ras\u00fblullah (s.a.v), fil\u00e2n kom\u015fumun evine sarkan hurma a\u011fac\u0131n\u0131 kendisine vermem kar\u015f\u0131l\u0131\u011f\u0131nda bana cennetten bir hurma a\u011fac\u0131 verilece\u011fini s\u00f6yledi. Ben de, \u00abOnu sana verirdim ama onun meyvesi benim ho\u015fuma gidiyor\u00bb dedim\u201d diye s\u00f6ze ba\u015flad\u0131.<\/p>\n
Hz. Osman (r.a):<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2013O a\u011fac\u0131 bana satar m\u0131s\u0131n?\u201d dedi. Cimri adam:<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2013Hay\u0131r, ama istedi\u011fimi verirsen belki satabilirim. Onu verece\u011fini de hi\u00e7 sanmam\u201d dedi.<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2013Nedir d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnd\u00fc\u011f\u00fcn?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2013K\u0131rk hurma a\u011fac\u0131.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2013\u00c7ok istedin; bir a\u011faca k\u0131rk a\u011fa\u00e7 olur mu?\u201d<\/p>\n
Bir s\u00fcre s\u00fck\u00fbt ettiler. Sonra Hz. Osman (r.a):<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2013Tamam, sana k\u0131rk a\u011fa\u00e7 verdim\u201d dedi.<\/p>\n
Adam:<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2013E\u011fer s\u00f6z\u00fcnde s\u00e2d\u0131k isen ba\u015fkalar\u0131n\u0131 da buna \u015fahid k\u0131l!\u201d dedi.<\/p>\n
Hz. Osman, baz\u0131 insanlar\u0131 \u00e7a\u011f\u0131r\u0131p \u015f\u00e2hit tuttu. Onlara:<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2013Ne diyorsun?\u201d diye sordu. O da:<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2013Tamam r\u00e2z\u0131 oldum\u201d dedi, ancak biraz sonra:<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2013Seninle aram\u0131zdaki al\u0131\u015f veri\u015f kesinle\u015fmedi\u201d dedi.<\/p>\n
Hz. Osman (r.a):<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2013Allah senin al\u0131\u015f veri\u015fini yok etsin. Ben e\u011filmi\u015f bir a\u011faca kar\u015f\u0131l\u0131k sana k\u0131rk a\u011fa\u00e7 verirken ahmak de\u011fildim\u201d dediyse de adam:<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2013Ben, istedi\u011fim a\u011fa\u00e7lar\u0131 vermen kar\u015f\u0131l\u0131\u011f\u0131nda bu al\u0131\u015f veri\u015fe r\u00e2z\u0131 oldum. Ayakta (yatm\u0131\u015f veya e\u011filmi\u015f olmayan) a\u011fa\u00e7lardan verecek misin?\u201d dedi.<\/p>\n
Hz. Osman bir m\u00fcddet durdu ve:<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2013Ayakta olan a\u011fa\u00e7lardan k\u0131rk tanesi senindir\u201d dedi ve \u015f\u00e2hitleri de getirip hurmalardan ayakta olan k\u0131rk a\u011fac\u0131 sayarak adama verdi. Birbirlerinden ayr\u0131l\u0131p gittiler.<\/p>\n
Hz. Osman, hurma a\u011fac\u0131n\u0131 sat\u0131n ald\u0131ktan sonra Ras\u00fblullah (s.a.v) Efendimiz\u2019e gelip:<\/p>\n

Ras\u00fblullah (s.a.v) de o fakir kom\u015fuya gidip:<\/p>\n
