Sahih al-Bukhari 3164

Translation

Messenger of Allah ﷺ once said to me, "If the revenue of Bahrain came, I would give you this much and this much." When Messenger of Allah ﷺ had died, the revenue of Bahrain came, and Abu Bakr announced, " Let whoever was promised something by Messenger of Allah ﷺ come to me." So, I went to Abu Bakr and said, "Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me, 'If the revenue of Bahrain came, I would give you this much and this. much." On that Abu Bakr said to me, "Scoop (money) with both your hands." I scooped money with both my hands and Abu Bakr asked me to count it. I counted it and it was five-hundred (gold pieces). The total amount he gave me was one thousand and five hundred (gold pieces.) Narrated Anas: Money from Bahrain was brought to the Prophet ﷺ. He said, "Spread it in the Mosque." It was the biggest amount that had ever been brought to Messenger of Allah ﷺ. In the meantime Al-ʿAbbas came to him and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Give me, for I gave the ransom of myself and ʿAqil." The Prophet said (to him), "Take." He scooped money with both hands and poured it in his garment and tried to lift it, but he could not and appealed to the Prophet, "Will you order someone to help me in lifting it?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "No." Then Al-ʿAbbas said, "Then will you yourself help me carry it?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "No." Then Al ʿAbbas threw away some of the money, but even then he was not able to lift it, and so he gain requested the Prophet ﷺ "Will you order someone to help me carry it?" The Prophet said, "No." Then Al-ʿAbbas said, "Then will you yourself yelp me carry it?" The Prophet ﷺ said, 'No." So, Al-ʿAbbas threw away some more money and lifted it on his shoulder and went away. The Prophet ﷺ kept on looking at him with astonishment at his greediness till he went out of our sight. Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not get up from there till not a single Dirham remained from that money.
