Sahih al-Bukhari 2273
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الأَنْصَارِيِّ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا أَمَرَ بِالصَّدَقَةِ انْطَلَقَ أَحَدُنَا إِلَى السُّوقِ فَيُحَامِلُ فَيُصِيبُ الْمُدَّ، وَإِنَّ لِبَعْضِهِمْ لَمِائَةَ أَلْفٍ، قَالَ مَا نُرَاهُ إِلاَّ نَفْسَهُ.
Narrated Abu Masud al-Ansari: Whenever the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) instructed us to give charity, each of us would go to the market and work as a porter, earning a mudd. Some of them now have one hundred thousand. Shaqiq said, “We think he meant himself.”
Translation notes
The Arabic says “one hundred thousand” without naming a currency or specifying dirhams or dinars; those alternatives appear only in the English witness. The parenthetical equivalence of a mudd to two handfuls is also absent from the Arabic.
