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)."

٢٢٩٦ - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ : حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ : حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو : سَمِعَ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ ﵃ 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.»
