Sahih Al Bukhari (420)

عن أنس رضي الله عنه قال: أتي النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بمال من البحرين، فقال: (انثروه في المسجد). وكان أكثر مال أتي به رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فخرج رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم إلى الصلاة ولم يلتف إليه، فلما قضى الصلاة جاء فجلس إليه، فما كان يرى أحدا إلا أعطاه، إذ جاءه العباس فقال: يا رسول الله، أعطني، فإني فاديت نفسي وفاديت عقيلا، فقال له رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: (خذ). فحثا في ثوبه، ثم ذهب يقله فلم يستطع، فقال: يا رسول الله، مر بعضهم يرفعه إلي، قال: (لا). قال: فارفعه أنت علي، قال: (لا). فنثر منه، ثم ذهب يقله، فقال: يا رسول الله، مر بعضهم يرفعه علي، قال: (لا). قال: فارفعه أنت علي، قال: (لا). فنثر منه، ثم احتمله، فألقاه على كاهله، ثم انطلق، فما زال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يتبعه بصره حتى خفي علينا، عجبا من حرصه، فما قام رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وثم منها درهم.

Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: Some goods came to Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) from Bahrain. The Prophet (peace be upon him) ordered the people to spread them in the mosque – it was the biggest amount of goods Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) had ever received. He left for prayer and did not even look at it. After finishing the prayer, he sat by those goods and gave from those to everybody he saw. Al-‘Abbas came to him and said, “O Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him)! Give me (something) too, because I gave ransom for myself and `Aqil” Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) told him to take. So, he stuffed his garment with it and tried to carry it away but he failed to do so. He said, “O Allah’s Messenger! Order someone to help me in lifting it.” The Prophet (peace be upon him) refused. He then said to the Prophet (peace be upon him): Will you please help me to lift it?” Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) refused. Then Al-‘Abbas threw some of it and tried to lift it (but failed). He again said, “O Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) Order someone to help me to lift it.” He refused. Al-’Abbas then said to the Prophet (peace be upon him): “Will you please help me to lift it?” He (peace be upon him) again refused. Then Al-‘Abbas threw some of it, and lifted it on his shoulders and went away. Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) kept on watching him till he disappeared from his sight and was astonished at his greediness. Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) did not get up till the last coin was distributed.
