The Prophet ﷺ said to me, "I will give you so much (the Prophet ﷺ pointed thrice with his hands) when funds of Bahrain will come to me." But the Prophet ﷺ died before the money reached him. (When it came) Abu Bakr ordered an announcer to announce that whoever had a money claim on the Prophet ﷺ or was promised to be given something, should come to Abu Bakr. I went to Abu Bakr and told him that the Prophet ﷺ had promised to give me so much. On that Abu Bakr gave me three handfuls (of money).  

البخاري:٢٥٩٨حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُنْكَدِرِ سَمِعْتُ جَابِرًا ؓ قَالَ قَالَ

لِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَوْ جَاءَ مَالُ الْبَحْرَيْنِ أَعْطَيْتُكَ هَكَذَا ثَلاَثًا فَلَمْ يَقْدَمْ حَتَّى تُوُفِّيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَأَمَرَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُنَادِيًا فَنَادَى مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ عِدَةٌ أَوْ دَيْنٌ فَلْيَأْتِنَا فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَعَدَنِي فَحَثَى لِي ثَلاَثًا

Once the Prophet ﷺ said (to me), "If the money of Bahrain comes, I will give you a certain amount of it." The Prophet ﷺ had breathed his last before the money of Bahrain arrived. When the money of Bahrain reached, Abu Bakr announced, "Whoever was promised by the Prophet ﷺ should come to us." I went to Abu Bakr and said, "The Prophet ﷺ promised me so and so." Abu Bakr gave me a handful of coins and when I counted them, they were five-hundred in number. Abu Bakr then said, "Take twice the amount you have taken (besides).

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَوْ قَدْ جَاءَ مَالُ الْبَحْرَيْنِ قَدْ أَعْطَيْتُكَ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا فَلَمْ يَجِئْ مَالُ الْبَحْرَيْنِ حَتَّى قُبِضَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ مَالُ الْبَحْرَيْنِ أَمَرَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَنَادَى مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ عِدَةٌ أَوْ دَيْنٌ فَلْيَأْتِنَا فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لِي كَذَا وَكَذَا فَحَثَى لِي حَثْيَةً فَعَدَدْتُهَا فَإِذَا هِيَ خَمْسُمِائَةٍ وَقَالَ خُذْ مِثْلَيْهَا
