The Palm Trees

When the Muhajirun arrived in Madinah, the Ansar had given them date palms to use. Later, when the Muslims grew prosperous, the Prophet ﷺ began returning those palms to their owners.

Anas reported that the Prophet ﷺ had given Umm Ayman some palms for her use. When he began to return them to Anas's family, she came and put her garment around his neck and said she would not give them up. He told her that he would give her something else instead; she refused, and he kept increasing the offer, until he gave her ten times as much, or something close, and she let go (Sahih Muslim 1771).

This is a rare glimpse of how she related to him: with the confidence of a mother, and he with the gentleness of a son.
