6425. Narrated 'Amr bin 'Auf, an ally of the tribe of Banī 'Āmir bin Lu'āī and one of those who had witnessed the battle of Badr with Allāh's Messenger ﷺ: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ sent Abū 'Ubaida bin Al-Jarrāh to Bāhṛain to collect the Jizya (tax). Allāh's Messenger ﷺ had concluded a peace treaty with the people of Bāhṛain and appointed Al-'Alā' bin Al-Ḥadramī as their chief; Abū 'Ubaida arrived from Bāhṛain with the money. The Anṣār heard of Abū ‘Ubaida’s arrival which coincided with the Fajr Salāt (prayer) led by Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ. When the Prophet ﷺ finished the Salāt, (prayer) they came to him. Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ smiled when he saw them and said, “I think you have heard of the arrival of Abū ‘Ubaida and that he has brought something.” They replied, “Yes, O Allāh’s Messenger!” He said, “Have the good news, and hope for what will please you. By Allāh, I am not afraid that you will become poor, but I am afraid that worldly wealth will be given to you in abundance as it was given to those (nations) before you, and you will start competing each other for it as the previous nations competed for it, and then it will divert you (from good) as it diverted them.”

6425 - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُقْبَةَ، قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ: حَدَّثَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّ المِسْوَرَ بْنَ مَخْرَمَةَ، أَخْبَرَهُ: أَنَّ عَمْرَو بْنَ عَوْفٍ، وَهُوَ حَلِيفٌ لِبَنِي عَامِرِ بْنِ لُؤَيٍّ، كَانَ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَخْبَرَهُ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعَثَ أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ بْنَ الجَرَّاحِ إِلَى البَحْرَيْنِ يَأْتِي بِجِزْيَتِهَا، وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ هُوَ صَالَحَ أَهْلَ البَحْرَيْنِ، وَأَمَّرَ عَلَيْهِمُ العَلاَءَ بْنَ الحَضْرَمِيِّ، فَقَدِمَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بِمَالٍ مِنَ البَحْرَيْنِ، فَسَمِعَتِ الأَنْصَارُ بِقُدُومِهِ، فَوَافَتْهُ صَلاَةَ الصُّبْحِ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ تَعَرَّضُوا لَهُ، فَتَبَسَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ رَآهُمْ، وَقَالَ: «أَظُنُّكُمْ سَمِعْتُمْ بِقُدُومِ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ، وَأَنَّهُ جَاءَ بِشَيْءٍ» قَالُوا: أَجَلْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: «فَأَبْشِرُوا وَأَمِّلُوا مَا يَسُرُّكُمْ، فَوَاللَّهِ مَا الفَقْرَ أَخْشَى عَلَيْكُمْ، وَلَكِنْ أَخْشَى عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ تُبْسَطَ عَلَيْكُمُ الدُّنْيَا، كَمَا بُسِطَتْ عَلَى مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ، فَتَنَافَسُوهَا كَمَا تَنَافَسُوهَا، وَتُلْهِيَكُمْ كَمَا أَلْهَتْهُمْ»
