4155. It was narrated that Abu Mas'ud said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ used to enjoin charity, then one of us would go out and carry goods for others until he had earned a Mudd, but one of them nowadays has one hundred thousand (Dinār or Dirham)." Shaqiq said: "It was as if he was hinting that this was he himself." (Sahih)
4155 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ زَائِدَةَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ: «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَأْمُرُ بِالصَّدَقَةِ، فَيَنْطَلِقُ أَحَدُنَا يَتَحَامَلُ حَتَّى يَجِيءَ بِالْمُدِّ، وَإِنَّ لِأَحَدِهِمُ الْيَوْمَ مِائَةَ أَلْفٍ» قَالَ شَقِيقٌ: «كَأَنَّهُ يُعَرِّضُ بِنَفْسِهِ»

The good reward of spending in the way of Allāh, in the form of comfort and happiness, is granted in this life too. Abu Mas'ud ﷺ narrated the case, but he did not mention that it is his story to avoid showing off. His intention was only to incite people to do the good act. This shows the sincerity of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ.
