حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: سَمِعَ ابْنُ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، جَابِرًا يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لَوْ جَاءَ مَالُ الْبَحْرَيْنِ، لَقَدْ أَعْطَيْتُكَ هَكَذَا، وَهَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا "، قَالَ: فَلَمَّا جَاءَ مَالُ الْبَحْرَيْنِ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، دَيْنٌ، أَوْ عِدَةٌ فَلْيَأْتِنَا، قَالَ: فَجِئْتُ، قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " لَوْ قَدْ جَاءَ مَالُ الْبَحْرَيْنِ لَأَعْطَيْتُكَ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا " ثَلَاثًا، قَالَ: فَخُذْ، قَالَ: فَأَخَذْتُ - قَالَ بَعْضُ، ، مَنْ سَمِعَهُ: فَوَجَدْتُهَا خَمْسَ مِائَةٍ - فَأَخَذْتُ، ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ، فَلَمْ يُعْطِنِي، ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ، فَلَمْ يُعْطِنِي، ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ الثَّالِثَةَ، فَلَمْ يُعْطِنِي، فَقُلْتُ: إِمَّا أَنْ تُعْطِيَنِي، وَإِمَّا أَنْ تَبْخَلَ عَنِّي، قَالَ: أَقُلْتَ تَبْخَلُ عَنِّي؟ وَأَيُّ دَاءٍ (١) أَدْوَأُ مِنَ الْبُخْلِ؟ مَا سَأَلْتَنِي مَرَّةً إِلَّا وَقَدْ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أُعْطِيَكَ (٢)، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said to me, "If wealth comes from Bahrain, I will give you this much, and this much, and this much." After the passing of the Prophet (ﷺ), when wealth came from Bahrain, Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) had it announced that whoever has any debt upon the Prophet (ﷺ) or to whom the Prophet (ﷺ) had promised to give something, should come to us. So I presented myself before him and said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) had said to me, 'If wealth comes from Bahrain, I will give you this much, this much, and this much.'" Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Take it," so I took the wealth from him. Some of those who heard said that when I counted it, it was five hundred dirhams, which I took. Then I came to him again three times, but he did not give me anything. The third time I said to him, "Either you give me, or I will think that you are being stingy towards me." Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Are you accusing me of stinginess? What disease can be worse than stinginess? When you first requested from me, I had already intended at that very moment to give you."
