(وَفَاءُ حَضْرَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ بِوَعْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ)
(Hazrat Abu Bakr (RA) Fulfilling the Promise of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH))
Hadith 4878
عَن جابرٍ قَالَ: لَمَّا مَاتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَجَاء أَبُو بَكْرٍ مَالٌ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ. فَقَالَ أَبُو بكر: من كَانَ لَهُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَيْنٌ أَوْ كَانَتْ لَهُ قِبَلَهُ عِدَةٌ فَلْيَأْتِنَا. قَالَ جَابِرٌ: فَقُلْتُ: وَعَدَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُعْطِيَنِي هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا. فَبَسَطَ يَدَيْهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ. قَالَ جَابِرٌ: فَحَثَا لِي حَثْيَةً فَعَدَدْتُهَا فَإِذَا هِيَ خَمْسُمِائَةٍ وَقَالَ: خُذْ مثلَيها. مُتَّفق عَلَيْهِ
Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away and wealth came to Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) from Alaa bin Hadrami (may Allah be pleased with him), Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Whoever had a debt upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) or to whom he had promised to give something, let him come to us (we will pay that debt and fulfill his promise)." Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I said, "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) promised me that he would give me such and such and such," and Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) spread his hands three times. Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said that he gave me a handful, and when I counted them, they were five hundred. Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Take the same amount two more times." Agreed upon.
