Sunan Abi Dawud 3079 (Book 20, Hadith 152) #23369
Assessing Fruits in Wadi Al Qura

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) went on an expedition to Tabuk and assessed the quantity of fruits in a woman's garden. He was gifted with a white mule and a cloak, and wrote a document for her land at sea coast.

Abu Humaid Al Sa’idi said "I went to Tabuk on an expedition along with the Apostle of Allaah. When he reached Wadi Al Qura, he found a woman in her garden. The Apostle of Allaah said to his Companions "Assess (the quantity o fruits). The Apostle of Allaah assessed ten wasqs". He said to the woman "Count the produce of it. We then came to Tabuk". The monarch of Ailah presented a white mule as a gift to the Apostle of Allaah. He presented a cloak as a gift o him and wrote a document for his land at sea coast. When we came to Wadi Al Qura he said to the woman "How much is the produce of your garden?" She replied "Ten wasqs which the Apostle of Allaah had assessed". The Apostle of Allaah said "I am going quickly to Madeenah if any of you intend to go quickly with me , he should make haste".
حَدَّثَنَا سَهْلُ بْنُ بَكَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ يَحْيَى، عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ السَّاعِدِيِّ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ - عَنْ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ، قَالَ غَزَوْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ تَبُوكَ فَلَمَّا أَتَى وَادِيَ الْقُرَى إِذَا امْرَأَةٌ فِي حَدِيقَةٍ لَهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ لأَصْحَابِهِ ‏"‏ اخْرُصُوا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَخَرَصَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَشَرَةَ أَوْسُقٍ فَقَالَ لِلْمَرْأَةِ ‏"‏ أَحْصِي مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَأَتَيْنَا تَبُوكَ فَأَهْدَى مَلِكُ أَيْلَةَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ بَغْلَةً بَيْضَاءَ وَكَسَاهُ بُرْدَةً وَكَتَبَ لَهُ - يَعْنِي - بِبَحْرِهِ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَلَمَّا أَتَيْنَا وَادِيَ الْقُرَى قَالَ لِلْمَرْأَةِ ‏"‏ كَمْ كَانَ فِي حَدِيقَتِكِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ عَشَرَةَ أَوْسُقٍ خَرْصَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ إِنِّي مُتَعَجِّلٌ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَمَنْ أَرَادَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَتَعَجَّلَ مَعِي فَلْيَتَعَجَّلْ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's journey to Tabuk, where he encountered a woman who owned a garden in Wadi al Qura. The Prophet assessed the quantity of fruits in her garden as ten wasqs, which is an ancient unit of measurement for dry goods such as grains or dates. As gratitude for his assessment, the monarch of Ailah gifted him with a white mule and cloak, as well as writing him up with documents for her land at sea coast. This hadith teaches us that it is important to be generous and kind towards others; even if we are not able to give them material gifts like money or items, we can still show our appreciation through words or actions that will benefit them. It also teaches us that it is important to be honest when assessing something; by being truthful about what he saw in this woman's garden, the Prophet showed respect towards her by not exaggerating or understating its value.
