Sahih al-Bukhari 415 (Book 8, Hadith 71)
the mosque –it was the biggest amount of goods Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) had ever received. He left for prayer
and did not even look at it. After finishing the prayer, he sat by those goods and gave from those to
everybody he saw. Al-`Abbas came to him and said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! give me (something) too,
because I gave ransom for myself and `Aqil”. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) told him to take. So he stuffed his
garment with it and tried to carry it away but he failed to do so. He said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Order
someone to help me in lifting it.” The Prophet (ﷺ) refused. He then said to the Prophet: Will you please
help me to lift it?” Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) refused. Then Al-`Abbas threw some of it and tried to lift it (but
failed). He again said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) Order someone to help me to lift it.” He refused. Al-`Abbas
then said to the Prophet: “Will you please help me to lift it?” He again refused. Then Al-`Abbas threw
some of it, and lifted it on his shoulders and went away. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) kept on watching him till he
disappeared from his sight and was astonished at his greediness. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) did not get up till the
last coin was distributed.
