It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Miswar bin Makhramah (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) sold an orchard of his to Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) for forty thousand dinars. Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) instructed Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Sa'd bin Abi Sarh (may Allah be pleased with him), and he paid its price. Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman (may Allah be pleased with him) distributed that money among Banu Zuhrah, the poor Muslims and the pure wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Sayyiduna al-Miswar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I came to the Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), and she asked: What is this? I said: Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman (may Allah be pleased with him) has sent it." She said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "After me, none will show kindness to you (his pure wives) except those who are patient." Then (Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her)) supplicated: "May Allah Almighty give Ibn Awf drink from Salsabil, the river of Paradise."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Only Ibrahim bin al-Mundhir narrated this hadith from Ishaq bin Ja'far bin Muhammad."
