AN 'Ubaidah brought wealth from Bahrain, and the Ansâr heard that Abfl 'Ubaidah had arrived. They prayed Fajr with the Messenger of Allah , and when the Messenger of Allah finished his prayer, they came to him. The Messenger of Allah smiled when he saw them, then he said: "I think you have heard that AN 'Ubaidah has brought something from Bahrain." They said: "Yes, 0 Messenger of Allah." He said: "Be of good cheer, and be hopeful of that which will make you happy. By Allah, it is not poverty that I fear for you, rather what I fear for you is that worldly riches may be given to you as they were given to those who came before you, and you will compete for them with one another as they competed with one another, and you will be destroyed as they were destroyed."
