[Machine] Al-Miqdad went to fulfill his need, so he entered a ruined place, and there, a rat came out of a hole with a dinar in its mouth, one by one, until it produced seventeen dinars. Then it brought out a green scrap of cloth. Al-Miqdad said, "I got up and stretched out the edge of the cloth and found a dinar in it, making a total of eighteen dinars." Al-Miqdad took the dinars and sought permission from the Prophet ﷺ . When he entered upon the Prophet ﷺ , he informed him of the story and said, "Take its charity, O Messenger of Allah." The Prophet ﷺ then said, "Have you led me to the hole with your hand?" Al-Miqdad said, "No, by the One who has sent you with the truth." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to al-Miqdad after that, "May Allah bless you in it."

That he went out one day to Al-Baqi', which is the graveyard, to relieve himself. People used to go out to relieve themselves only every two or three days, and their faces was like that of a camel (because of hunger and rough food). Then he entered a ruin and while he was squatting to relieve himself, he saw a rat bringing a Dinar out of a hole, then it went in and brought out another, until it had brought out seventeen Dinars. Then it brought out a piece of red rag.Miqdad said: “I picked up the rag and found another Dinar inside it, thus completing eighteen Dinar. I took them out and brought them to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and told him what had happened. I said, 'Take its Sadaqah (charity), O Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' He said: 'Take them back, for no Sadaqah is due on them. May Allah (SWT) bless them for you.' Then he said: 'Perhaps you put your hand in the hole?' I said: 'No, by the One Who has honored you with the truth.”
