Riyad as-Salihin — Hadith #45874

On the authority of Jabir, may God be pleased with him, he said: The Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said to me: “If the money of the two Bahrains had come, I would have given you like this, like this, and so on.” The money of the two Bahrains did not come until the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, took possession of it. When the money of the two Bahrains came, Abu Bakr, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, commanded, and he called out: Whoever has a waiting period or a debt with the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, should come to us. So I came to him and said to him: The Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, ordered. May God bless him and grant him peace. He said to me such and such, so he urged me Hittite, so I counted them, and they were five hundred. Then he said to me: Take an equal number of them. ((Agreed upon)).
