The story of the debt of Jâbir’s father, and the multiplication of the dates:

Imâm al-Bukhârî narrated on the authority of Jâbir who said: “My father had died in debt. So I came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: “My father (died)leaving unpaid debts, and I have nothing except the yield of his date-palms; and their yield for many years will not cover his debts. So please come with me, so that the creditors may not misbehave with me.” The Prophetﷺ went round one of the heaps of dates and invoked Allâh, and then did the same with another heap and sat on it and said: “Measure (for them)”. He paid them their rights and what remained was as much as had been paid to them

The guest who drank the milk taken from seven goats:

Imâm Muslim related on the authority of Abû Hurairah that: “Allâh’s Messenger ﷺinvited a Non Muslim. Allâh’s Messenger ﷺcommanded that a goat be milked for him. It was milked and he drank its milk. Then the second one was milked and he drank its milk, and then the other one was milked and he drank its milk, till he drank the milk of seven goats. The next morning he embraced Islâm and Allâh’s Messengerﷺ commanded that a goat should be milked for him and he drank its milk and then another was milked but he did not finish it, whereupon Allâh’s Messengerﷺ said: “A believer drinks in one intestine whereas a non-believer drinks in seven intestines”.
