Jabir bin ʿAbdullah said, "When the Prophet ﷺ died, Abu Bakr received some property from Al-ʿAla bin Al-Hadrami. Abu Bakr said to the people, "Whoever has a money claim on the Prophet, or was promised something by him, should come to us (so that we may pay him his right)." Jabir added, "I said (to Abu Bakr), Messenger of Allah ﷺ promised me that he would give me this much, and this much, and this much (spreading his hands three times)." Jabir added, "Abu Bakr counted for me and handed me five-hundred (gold pieces), and then five-hundred, and then five-hundred."
لَمَّا مَاتَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ جَاءَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ مَالٌ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْعَلاَءِ بْنِ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ دَيْنٌ أَوْ كَانَتْ لَهُ قِبَلَهُ عِدَةٌ فَلْيَأْتِنَا قَالَ جَابِرٌ فَقُلْتُ وَعَدَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ يُعْطِيَنِي هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا فَبَسَطَ يَدَيْهِ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ قَالَ جَابِرٌ فَعَدَّ فِي يَدِي خَمْسَمِائَةٍ ثُمَّ خَمْسَمِائَةٍ ثُمَّ خَمْسَمِائَةٍ
