bayhaqi:18791Abū ʿAlī al-Rūdhbārī > Muḥammad b. Bakr > Abū Dāwud > Abū Tawbah al-Rabīʿ b. Nāfiʿ > Muʿāwiyah b. Salām > Zayd > Abū Sallām > ʿAbdullāh al-Hawzanī

[Machine] I met Bilal, the muezzin of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and I said, "O Bilal, tell me about the expenditures of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ?" He mentioned a hadith in which he said, "When someone is asked to give, he calls out, 'O Bilal, respond to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ !' So I went until I reached him (the Prophet) and there were four wooden stakes with their loads tied on them. I sought permission and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me, 'Be glad, for Allah has granted you your provision.' Then he said, 'Did you not see these four wooden stakes?' I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'They are yours and whatever is on them. They are a gift that has been presented to me, so take it and fulfill your debts.' So, I did."
