Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amr (Abu Mas'ud) (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded charity, a man would go and work as a labourer and bring a mudd, and today one of them has a hundred thousand (dirhams). Shaqiq said: I understood that he was hinting at himself.
