Whenever Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered us to give in charity, we used to go to the market and work as porters and get a Mudd (a special measure of grain) and then give it in charity. (Those were the days of poverty) and today some of us have one hundred thousand.
عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الأَنْصَارِيِّ ؓ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَمَرَنَا بِالصَّدَقَةِ انْطَلَقَ أَحَدُنَا إِلَى السُّوقِ فَتَحَامَلَ فَيُصِيبُ الْمُدَّ وَإِنَّ لِبَعْضِهِمُ الْيَوْمَ لَمِائَةَ أَلْفٍ
Whenever Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered us to give in charity we would go to the market and work as porters to earn a Mudd (two handfuls) (of foodstuff) but now some of us have one-hundred thousand Dirhams or Diners. (The sub-narrator) Shaqiq said, "I think Abu Masʿud meant himself by saying (some of us) .
عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الأَنْصَارِيِّ ؓ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَمَرَ بِالصَّدَقَةِ انْطَلَقَ أَحَدُنَا إِلَى السُّوقِ فَيُحَامِلُ فَيُصِيبُ الْمُدَّ وَإِنَّ لِبَعْضِهِمْ لَمِائَةَ أَلْفٍ قَالَ مَا نُرَاهُ إِلاَّ نَفْسَهُ
“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to enjoin charity, then one of us would go out and carry goods for others until he earned a Mudd, but one of them nowadays has one hundred thousand (Dinar or Dirham).” Shaqiq said: "It was as if he was hinting that this was he himself." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4155)
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَأْمُرُ بِالصَّدَقَةِ فَيَنْطَلِقُ أَحَدُنَا فَيُحَامِلُ فَيَجِيءُ بِالْمُدِّ وَإِنَّ لِبَعْضِهِمُ الْيَوْمَ مِائَةَ أَلْفٍ قَالَ شَقِيقٌ فَرَأَيْتُ أَنَّهُ يُعَرِّضُ بِنَفْسِهِ
[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to encourage giving charity. A man would come forward and contribute, and he would bring a handful (of charity), while for some of them the amount would reach one hundred thousand on that day." His brother said, "I witnessed that he would expose himself."
«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَأْمُرُ بِالصَّدَقَةِ فَيَنْطَلِقُ الرَّجُلُ فَيَتَحَامَلُ فَيَجِيءُ بِالْمُدِّ وَإِنَّ لِبَعْضِهِمُ الْيَوْمَ لَمِائَةَ أَلْفٍ» قَالَ شَقِيقُ فَرَأَيْتُ أَنَّهُ يُعَرِّضُ بِنَفْسِهِ
[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to command people to give charity. A man would then go and collect provisions and come back with a mountain of donations. Indeed, some of them would give up to a hundred thousand (dirhams). A miserable brother said, 'I saw that he would expose himself.'"
«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَأْمُرُ بِالصَّدَقَةِ فَيَنْطَلِقُ الرَّجُلُ فَيَتَحَامَلُ فَيَجِيءُ بِالْمُدِّ وَإِنَّ لِبَعْضِهِمُ الْيَوْمَ لَمِائَةَ أَلْفٍ» قَالَ شَقِيقٌ فَرَأَيْتُ أَنَّهُ يُعَرِّضُ بِنَفْسِهِ
