Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Do not speak ill of my companions. By the One in Whose hand is my soul, if any one of you were to spend gold equal to (the mountain of) Uhud, it would not equal even a mudd or half of it (in charity) given by any one of them (the Companions)."
