The Second:Salman al-Farsi had formerly been a slave of the Jews. His masters had asked for a very high ransom, saying: “To gain your freedom, you must plant three hundred date-palms, and after they bear fruit, give us forty okkas240 of gold in addition to the fruit.” He went to the Noble Messenger (UWBP) and explained his situation. God’s Messenger (UWBP) then planted the three hundred palms in the region of Medina; only one of them was planted by someone else. That year, all three hundred trees bore fruit, with the exception of the one planted by the other person.
