Sayyiduna al-Miswar bin Makhramah (may Allah be pleased with him) states: The Ansar heard the news that Sayyiduna Abu Ubaydah (may Allah be pleased with him) had come from Bahrain with wealth; the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had sent him to Bahrain. A large number of the Ansar attended the dawn prayer, and when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) finished the prayer, they presented themselves before him. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw them, he smiled and said: "Perhaps you have received the news that Abu Ubaydah has come and has brought wealth?" They said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah!" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Receive glad tidings and hope for good. By Allah, I do not fear poverty for you; rather, when the world is poured out upon you, you will become eager for it, just as those before you became eager for it."
Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
