421. Narrated Anas رضي الله عنه: Some goods (or wealth) was brought to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ from Bāhṛain. The Prophet ﷺ ordered the people to spread them in the mosque — it was the biggest amount of goods (or wealth) Allāh's Messenger ﷺ had ever received. He left for As-Salāt (the prayer) and did not even look at it. After finishing As-Salāt, he sat by those goods (or wealth) and gave from those to everybody he saw. Al-'Abbās came to him and said, "O Allāh's Messenger! Give me (something) too, because I gave ransom for myself and 'Aqīl." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ told him to take. So, he stuffed his garment with it and tried to carry it away but he failed to do so. He said, "O Allāh's Messenger! Order someone to help me in lifting it." The Prophet ﷺ refused. He then said to the Prophet ﷺ: "Will you please help me to lift it?" Allāh's Messenger ﷺ refused. Then Al-'Abbās threw some of it and tried to lift it (but failed). He again said, "O Allāh's Messenger! Order someone to help me to lift it." He refused. Al-'Abbās then said to the Prophet ﷺ: "Will you please help me to lift it?" He ﷺ again refused. Then Al-'Abbās threw some of it, and lifted it on his shoulders and went away. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ kept on watching him till he disappeared from his sight and was astonished at his greediness. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ did not get up till the last coin was distributed.

421 - وَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ طَهْمَانَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ العَزِيزِ بْنِ صُهَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: أُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمَالٍ مِنَ البَحْرَيْنِ، فَقَالَ: «انْثُرُوهُ فِي المَسْجِدِ» وَكَانَ أَكْثَرَ مَالٍ أُتِيَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلّى الله عليه وسلم، فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ وَلَمْ يَلْتَفِتْ إِلَيْهِ، فَلَمَّا قَضَى الصَّلاَةَ جَاءَ فَجَلَسَ إِلَيْهِ، فَمَا كَانَ يَرَى أَحَدًا إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ، إِذْ جَاءَهُ العَبَّاسُ، فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ: أَعْطِنِي، فَإِنِّي فَادَيْتُ نَفْسِي وَفَادَيْتُ عَقِيلًا، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «خُذْ» فَحَثَا فِي ثَوْبِهِ، ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ يُقِلُّهُ فَلَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، اؤْمُرْ بَعْضَهُمْ يَرْفَعْهُ إِلَيَّ، قَالَ: «لاَ» قَالَ: فَارْفَعْهُ أَنْتَ عَلَيَّ، قَالَ: «لاَ» فَنَثَرَ مِنْهُ، ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ يُقِلُّهُ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، اؤْمُرْ بَعْضَهُمْ يَرْفَعْهُ عَلَيَّ، قَالَ: «لاَ» قَالَ: فَارْفَعْهُ أَنْتَ عَلَيَّ، قَالَ: «لاَ» فَنَثَرَ مِنْهُ، ثُمَّ احْتَمَلَهُ، فَأَلْقَاهُ عَلَى كَاهِلِهِ، ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ، فَمَا زَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُتْبِعُهُ بَصَرَهُ حَتَّى خَفِيَ عَلَيْنَا - عَجَبًا مِنْ حِرْصِهِ - فَمَا قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَثَمَّ مِنْهَا دِرْهَمٌ
