The Prophet said to me, “I will give you so much (the Prophet pointed thrice with his hands) when
funds of Bahrain will come to me.” But the Prophet died before the money reached him. (When it
came) Abu Bakr ordered an announcer to announce that whoever had a money claim on the Prophet
or was promised to be given something, should come to Abu Bakr. I went to Abu Bakr and told him
that the Prophet had promised to give me so much. On that Abu Bakr gave me three handfuls (of
money).

Allah’s Apostle distributed some cloaks but did not give anything thereof to Makhrama.
Makhrama said (to me), “O son! accompany me to Allah’s Apostle.” When I went with him, he said,
“Call him to me.” I called him (i.e. the Prophet ) for my father. He came out wearing one of those
cloaks and said, “We kept this (cloak) for you, (Makhrama).” Makhrama looked at the cloak and said,
“Makhrama is pleased,” (or the Prophet said), “Is Makhrama pleased?”

Narrated Abu Huraira:
A man came to Allah’s Apostle and said, “I am ruined.” The Prophet asked, “What do you mean?” He
said, “I had a sexual intercourse with my wife during Ramadan (while fasting).” The Prophet asked
him, “Can you manumit a slave?” He replied in the negative. He then asked him, “Can you fast for two
successive months continuously” He replied in the negative. The Prophet then asked him, “Can you
feed sixty poor persons?” He replied in the negative. In the meantime an Ansari came with a basket
full of dates. The Prophet said to the man, “Take it and give it in charity (as an expiation of your sin).”
The man said “Should I give it to some people who are poorer than we O Allah’s Apostle? By Him
Who has sent you with the Truth, there is no family between Medina’s two mountains poorer than
we.” Allah’s Apostle told him to take it and provide his family with it.”

“Have you really?” She replied in the affirmative. He said, “You would have got more reward if you
had given her (i.e. the slave-girl) to one of your maternal uncles.”
