English translation
2508. It was narrated from Miqdād bin 'Amr that he went out one day to Al-Baqī', which is the graveyard, to relieve himself. People used to go out to relieve themselves only every two or three days, and their feces was like that of a camel (because of hunger and rough food). Then he entered a ruin and while he was squatting to relieve himself, he saw a rat bringing a Dinār out of a hole, then it went in and brought out another, until it had brought out seventeen Dinārs. Then it brought out a piece of red rag. Miqdād said: "I picked up the rag and found another Dinār inside it, thus completing eighteen Dinār. I took them out and brought them to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and told him what had happened. I said, 'Take its Sadaqah (charity), O Messenger of Allāh.' He said: 'Take them back, for no Sadaqah is due on them. May Allāh bless them for you.' Then he said: 'Perhaps you put your hand in the hole?" I said: "No, by the One Who has honored you with the Truth." (Da'if) He (the narrator) said: "And they did not run out before he died."
