Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ قَدِمَ عَلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ مَالٌ مِنَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ فَقَالَ مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَأْىٌ أَوْ عِدَةٌ فَلْيَأْتِنِي فَجَاءَهُ جَابِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فَحَفَنَ لَهُ ثَلاَثَ حَفَنَاتٍ .
Translation
Yahya related to me from Malik that Rabia ibn Abi Abd ar-Rahmansaid, "Property was sent to Abu Bakr as-Siddiq from Bahrayn. He said,'If someone had a promise or a pledge with the Messenger of Allah, mayAllah bless him and grant him peace, let him come to me.' So Jabir ibnAbdullah came to him, and he gave him three times as much of it aswould fill both hands.''
