حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو سَمِعَ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ؓ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ
لَوْ قَدْ جَاءَ مَالُ الْبَحْرَيْنِ قَدْ أَعْطَيْتُكَ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا فَلَمْ يَجِئْ مَالُ الْبَحْرَيْنِ حَتَّى قُبِضَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ مَالُ الْبَحْرَيْنِ أَمَرَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَنَادَى مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ عِدَةٌ أَوْ دَيْنٌ فَلْيَأْتِنَا فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لِي كَذَا وَكَذَا فَحَثَى لِي حَثْيَةً فَعَدَدْتُهَا فَإِذَا هِيَ خَمْسُمِائَةٍ وَقَالَ خُذْ مِثْلَيْهَا
