Sunan Ibn Majah 2357 (Book 13, Hadith 50) #31709
Debt Relief and Appointment as Governor

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) relieved Mu'adh bin Jabal of his debts and appointed him as governor of Yemen.

It was narrated from Jabir bin 'Abdullah that : the Messenger of Allah rid Mu'adh bin Jabal of his creditors, then he appointed him governor of Yemen. Mu'adh said: "The Messenger of Allah settled my debts with my creditors using what wealth I had, then he appointed me as governor".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ هُرْمُزٍ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ الْمَكِّيِّ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ خَلَعَ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ مِنْ غُرَمَائِهِ ثُمَّ اسْتَعْمَلَهُ عَلَى الْيَمَنِ فَقَالَ مُعَاذٌ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اسْتَخْلَصَنِي بِمَالِي ثُمَّ اسْتَعْمَلَنِي

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's kindness towards Mu'adh bin Jabal. The Prophet Muhammad relieved Mu'adh from his debtors by paying off his debts with what wealth he had, then appointed him as governor of Yemen. This shows us that the Prophet was a kind and generous leader who was willing to help those in need, even if it meant sacrificing some of his own wealth for them. It also teaches us that we should be generous to those in need, no matter how small our contribution may be. Furthermore, this hadith shows us that hard work and dedication can lead to great rewards; Mu’adh’s hard work paid off when he was appointed as governor after being freed from debtors by the Prophet himself!
