Abu Masʿud Al-Ansari said, "Messenger of Allah ﷺ, used to order us to give alms. So one of us would exert himself to earn one Mud (special measure of wheat or dates, etc.,) to give in charity; while today one of us may have one hundred thousand." Shaqiq said: As if Abu Masud referred to himself.
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَأْمُرُ بِالصَّدَقَةِ فَيَحْتَالُ أَحَدُنَا حَتَّى يَجِيءَ بِالْمُدِّ وَإِنَّ لأَحَدِهِمِ الْيَوْمَ مِائَةَ أَلْفٍ كَأَنَّهُ يُعَرِّضُ بِنَفْسِهِ
