Once the Prophet ﷺ offered the ʿAsr prayer and then hurriedly went to his house and returned immediately. I (or somebody else) asked him (as to what was the matter) and he said, "I left at home a piece of gold which was from the charity and I disliked to let it remain a night in my house, so I got it distributed . "  

البخاري:١٤٣٠حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ أَنَّ عُقْبَةَ بْنَ الْحَارِثِ ؓ حَدَّثَهُ

قَالَ صَلَّى بِنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الْعَصْرَ فَأَسْرَعَ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ الْبَيْتَ فَلَمْ يَلْبَثْ أَنْ خَرَجَ فَقُلْتُ أَوْ قِيلَ لَهُ فَقَالَ كُنْتُ خَلَّفْتُ فِي الْبَيْتِ تِبْرًا مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أُبَيِّتَهُ فَقَسَمْتُهُ
