3164. Narrated Jābir bin ‘Abdullāh رضي الله عنه: Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ once said to me, “If the revenue of Bāhṛain came, I would give you this much and this much and this much.” When Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ died, and the revenue of Bāhṛain came, Abū Bakr announced, “Let whoever was promised something by Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ come to me.” So, I went to Abū Bakr and said, “Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ said to me, ‘If the revenue of Bāhṛain came, I would give you this much and this much and this much.’” On that Abū Bakr said to me, “Scoop (money) with both your hands.” I scooped money with both my hands and Abū 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).
