The narrator says: So he gave him fifteen thousand dirhams.

Al-Muttalib bin Abdullah bin Qays bin Makhramah (may Allah have mercy on him) said that a woman complained of her need to Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her). She (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "What is the matter with you?" She said: "We used to take the annual stipend of a dead person, and now we have ended it." At this Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "Why did you do that? You have removed from the wealth of Allah a share that used to come in to you, and you have put it out of your home!" This incident took place in the time of the caliphate of Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him).
