DUTY TO FULFILL THE PROMISE OF THE DECEASED H 697 'When the revenues of Bahrain are received, I shall give you (Jabir) this, and this, and this. But he passed away before the revenues were received. When they arrived Abu Bakr announced, 'If there is anyone to whom the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, had made a promise or owed anything they should come forward.' So I (Jabir) went to him and said to him, 'The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said this and this to me. So Abu Bakr took two handfuls of money and gave it to him. I counted it and found it amounted to five hundred dirhams. Abu Bakr told me, 'Take as much again.'" R 697 Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Jabir who related this hadith.
690- وعن جابر رضي الله عنه ، قَالَ : قَالَ لي النبيُّ صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم : "لَوْ قَدْ جَاءَ مَالُ الْبَحْرَيْنِ أعْطَيْتُكَ هكَذَا وَهَكَذَا وَهكَذَا" فَلَمْ يَجِئْ مَالُ الْبَحْرَينِ حَتَّى قُبِضَ النَّبيُّ صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم ، فَلَمَّا جَاءَ مَالُ الْبَحْرَيْنِ أمَرَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رضي الله عنه فَنَادَى : مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ عِنْدَ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم عِدَةٌ أَوْ دَيْنٌ فَلْيَأتِنَا ، فَأتَيْتُهُ وَقُلْتُ لَهُ : إنَّ النَّبيَّ صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم قَالَ لي كَذَا وَكَذَا ، فَحَثَى لي حَثْيَةً فَعَدَدْتُهَا ، فَإذَا هِيَ خَمْسُمِئَةٍ ، فَقَالَ لِي : خُذْ مِثْلَيْهَا . متفقٌ عَلَيْهِ .
