2598. Narrated Jābir رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: The Prophet ﷺ said to me, "I will give you so much (the Prophet ﷺ pointed thrice with his hands) when the funds of Bahrain will come to me." But the Prophet ﷺ died before the money reached him. (When it came,) Abū Bakr ordered an announcer to announce that whoever had a money claim on the Prophet ﷺ, or was promised to be given something, should come to Abū Bakr. I went to Abū Bakr and told him that the Prophet ﷺ had promised to give me so much. On that Abū Bakr gave me three handfuls (of money).

2598 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ المُنْكَدِرِ، سَمِعْتُ جَابِرًا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: قَالَ لِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَوْ جَاءَ مَالُ البَحْرَيْنِ أَعْطَيْتُكَ هَكَذَا - ثَلاَثًا»، فَلَمْ يَقْدَمْ حَتَّى تُوُفِّيَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَمَرَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُنَادِيًا فَنَادَى مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عِدَةٌ أَوْ دَيْنٌ، فَلْيَأْتِنَا، فَأَتَيْتُهُ، فَقُلْتُ: إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَعَدَنِي فَحَثَى لِي ثَلاَثًا
