\nNarrated Jabir bin `Abdullah:\n\n
Allah's Apostle once said to me, \"If the revenue of Bahrain came, I would give you this much and this \nmuch.\" When Allah's Apostle had died, the revenue of Bahrain came, and Abu Bakr announced, \" Let \nwhoever was promised something by Allah's Apostle come to me.\" So, I went to Abu Bakr and said, \n\"Allah's Apostle said to me, 'If the revenue of Bahrain came, I would give you this much and this. \nmuch.\" On that Abu Bakr said to me, \"Scoop (money) with both your hands.\" I scooped money with \nboth my hands and Abu Bakr asked me to count it. I counted it and it was five-hundred (gold pieces). \nThe total amount he gave me was one thousand and five hundred (gold pieces.) \nNarrated Anas: Money from Bahrain was brought to the Prophet . He said, \"Spread it in the Mosque.\" \nIt was the biggest amount that had ever been brought to Allah's Apostle . In the meantime Al-`Abbas \ncame to him and said, \"O Allah's Apostle! Give me, for I gave the ransom of myself and `Aqil.\" The \nProphet said (to him), \"Take.\" He scooped money with both hands and poured it in his garment and \ntried to lift it, but he could not and appealed to the Prophet, \"Will you order someone to help me in \nlifting it?\" The Prophet said, \"No.\" Then Al-`Abbas said, \"Then will you yourself help me carry it?\" \nThe Prophet said, \"No.\" Then Al `Abbas threw away some of the money, but even then he was not \nable to lift it, and so he gain requested the Prophet \"Will you order someone to help me carry it?\" The \nProphet said, \"No.\" Then Al-`Abbas said, \"Then will you yourself yelp me carry it?\" The Prophet \nsaid, 'No.\" So, Al-`Abbas threw away some more money and lifted it on his shoulder and went away. \nThe Prophet kept on looking at him with astonishment at his greediness till he went out of our sight. \nAllah's Apostle did not get up from there till not a single Dirham remained from that money.","english_grade":"Sahih","last_updated":null,"xrefs":""}
