2296. Narrated Jābir bin 'Abdullāh رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا: Once the Prophet ﷺ said (to me), "If the money of Bāhṛain comes, I will give you so much and so much (a certain amount from it)." The Prophet ﷺ had breathed his last before the money of Bāhṛain arrived. When the money of Bāhṛain reached, Abū Bakr announced, "Whoever was promised by the Prophet ﷺ should come to us." I went to Abū Bakr and said, "The Prophet ﷺ promised me so-and-so." Abū Bakr gave me a handful of coins and asked me to count it. When I counted them, they were five hundred in number. Abū Bakr then said, "Take twice the amount you have taken (besides)."
