6261. Narrated Abū Hurairah رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ mentioned a person from Banī Isrāēl who took a piece of wood, made a hole in it, and put therein one thousand Dīnār and a letter from him to his friend. The Prophet ﷺ said, "(That man) cut a piece of wood and put the money inside it and wrote a letter from such and such a person to such and such a person." [See Vol. 3, Hadīth No. 2291]
6261 - وَقَالَ اللَّيْثُ: حَدَّثَنِي جَعْفَرُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ هُرْمُزَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَنَّهُ ذَكَرَ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، أَخَذَ خَشَبَةً فَنَقَرَهَا، فَأَدْخَلَ فِيهَا أَلْفَ دِينَارٍ، وَصَحِيفَةً مِنْهُ إِلَى صَاحِبِهِ»، وَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " نَجَرَ خَشَبَةً، فَجَعَلَ المَالَ فِي جَوْفِهَا، وَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ صَحِيفَةً: مِنْ فُلاَنٍ إِلَى فُلاَنٍ "
