3165. Narrated Anas رضي الله عنه: Money from Bāhṛain was brought to the Prophet ﷺ. He said, “Spread it in the mosque.” It was the biggest amount that had ever been brought to Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ. In the meantime Al-‘Abbās came to him and said, "O Allāh's Messenger! Give me, for I gave the ransom of myself and 'Aqīl." The Prophet ﷺ said (to him), "Take." He scooped money with both hands and poured it in his garment and tried to lift it, but he could not and appealed to the Prophet ﷺ, "Will you order someone to help me in lifting it?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "No." Then Al-'Abbās said, "Then will you yourself help me carry it?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "No." Then Al-'Abbās threw away some of the money, but even then he was not able to lift it, and so he again requested the Prophet ﷺ, "Will you order someone to help me carry it?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "No." Then Al-'Abbās said, "Then will you yourself help me carry it?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "No." So, Al-'Abbās threw away some more money and lifted it on his shoulder and went away. The Prophet ﷺ kept on looking at him with astonishment at his greediness till he went out of our sight. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ did not get up from there till not a single Dirham remained from that money.
