of the candle and burn the dwellers of the house.” Ata said, “The devils.” (instead of the Jinns).

the sky and the earth. I was so frightened by him that I fell on the ground and came to my family and
said (to them), ‘Cover me! (with a blanket), cover me!’ Then Allah sent the Revelation: “O, You
wrapped up (In a blanket)! (Arise and warn! And your Lord magnify And keep pure your garments,

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 4 > BOOK 53: ONE-FIFTH OF BOOTY TO THE CAUSE OF ALLAH (KHUMUS)
Allah’s Apostle once said to me, “If the revenue of Bahrain came, I would give you this much and
this much.” When Allah’s Apostle had died, the revenue of Bahrain came, and Abu Bakr announced, ”
Let whoever was promised something by Allah’s Apostle come to me.” So, I went to Abu Bakr and
said, “Allah’s Apostle said to me, ‘If the revenue of Bahrain came, I would give you this much and this.
much.” On that Abu Bakr said to me, “Scoop (money) with both your hands.” I scooped money with
both my hands and Abu Bakr asked me to count it. I counted it and it was five-hundred (gold pieces).
The total amount he gave me was one thousand and five hundred (gold pieces.)
Narrated Anas: Money from Bahrain was brought to the Prophet . He said, “Spread it in the
Mosque.” It was the biggest amount that had ever been brought to Allah’s Apostle . In the meantime
Al-‘Abbas came to him and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Give me, for I gave the ransom of myself and
Aqil.” The Prophet said (to him), “Take.” He scooped money with both hands and poured it in his gar –
ment and tried to lift it, but he could not and appealed to the Prophet, “Will you order someone to
help me in lifting it?” The Prophet said, “No.” Then Al-‘Abbas said, “Then will you yourself help me
carry it?” The Prophet said, “No.” Then Al ‘Abbas threw away some of the money, but even then he
was not able to lift it, and so he gain requested the Prophet “Will you order someone to help me carry
it?” The Prophet said, “No.” Then Al-‘Abbas said, “Then will you yourself yelp me carry it?” The Proph –
et said, ‘No.” So, Al-‘Abbas threw away some more money and lifted it on his shoulder and went
away. The Prophet kept on looking at him with astonishment at his greediness till he went out of our
sight. Allah’s Apostle did not get up from there till not a single Dirham remained from that money.
