حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيٌّ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُنْكَدِرِ سَمِعَ جَابِرًا ؓ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ
لَوْ قَدْ جَاءَنِي مَالُ الْبَحْرَيْنِ لَقَدْ أَعْطَيْتُكَ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا فَلَمْ يَجِئْ حَتَّى قُبِضَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ مَالُ الْبَحْرَيْنِ أَمَرَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُنَادِيًا فَنَادَى مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ دَيْنٌ أَوْ عِدَةٌ فَلْيَأْتِنَا فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِي كَذَا وَكَذَا فَحَثَا لِي ثَلاَثًا وَجَعَلَ سُفْيَانُ يَحْثُو بِكَفَّيْهِ جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ قَالَ لَنَا هَكَذَا قَالَ لَنَا ابْنُ الْمُنْكَدِرِ وَقَالَ مَرَّةً فَأَتَيْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَسَأَلْتُ فَلَمْ يُعْطِنِي ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ فَلَمْ يُعْطِنِي ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ الثَّالِثَةَ فَقُلْتُ سَأَلْتُكَ فَلَمْ تُعْطِنِي ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُكَ فَلَمْ تُعْطِنِي ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُكَ فَلَمْ تُعْطِنِي فَإِمَّا أَنْ تُعْطِيَنِي وَإِمَّا أَنْ تَبْخَلَ عَنِّي قَالَ قُلْتَ تَبْخَلُ عَلَىَّ مَا مَنَعْتُكَ مِنْ مَرَّةٍ إِلاَّ وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُعْطِيَكَ

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said (to me), "If the property of Bahrain had come to us, I would have given you so much and so much." But the Bahrain property did not come till the Prophet ﷺ had died. When the Bahrain property came. Abu Bakr ordered somebody to announce, "Any person who has money claim on Messenger of Allah ﷺ or whom Messenger of Allah ﷺ had promised something, should come to us." So, I went to him and said, "Messenger of Allah ﷺ had promised to give me so much an so much." Abu Bakr scooped up money with both hands thrice for me." (The sub-narrator Sufyan illustrated this action by scooping up with both hands and said, "Ibn Munkadir, another sub-narrator, used to illustrate it in this way.") Narrated Jabir: Once I went to Abu Bakr and asked for the money but he did not give me, and I went to him again, but he did not give me, so I went to him for the third time and said, "I asked you, but you did not give me; then I asked you (for the second time) and you did not give me; then I asked you (for the third time) but you did not give me. You should either give me or allow yourself to be considered a miser regarding my case." Abu Bakr said, "You tell me that I am a miser with regard to you. But really, whenever I rejected your request, I had the inclination to give you." (In another narration Jabir added:) So, Abu Bakr scooped up money with both hands for me and asked me to count it. I found out that It was five hundred. Abu Bakr told me to take twice that amount.
