Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ بَابٍ عَنْ حَجَّاجٍ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّهُ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لِي يَا جَابِرُ لَوْ قَدْ جَاءَنَا مَالٌ لَحَثَيْتُ لَكَ ثُمَّ حَثَيْتُ لَكَ قَالَ فَقُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُنْجِزَ لِي تِلْكَ الْعِدَةَ فَأَتَيْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَحَدَّثْتُهُ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَنَحْنُ لَوْ قَدْ جَاءَنَا شَيْءٌ لَحَثَيْتُ لَكَ ثُمَّ حَثَيْتُ لَكَ ثُمَّ حَثَيْتُ لَكَ قَالَ فَأَتَاهُ مَالٌ فَحَثَى لِي حَثْيَةً ثُمَّ حَثْيَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ فِيهَا صَدَقَةٌ حَتَّى يَحُولَ الْحَوْلُ قَالَ فَوَزَنْتُهَا فَكَانَتْ أَلْفًا وَخَمْسَ مِائَةٍ.
English Translation
Nasr ibn Bab told us, from Hajjaj, from Abu al-Zubayr, from Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansari, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said: I entered upon the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and he said to me, "O Jabir, if wealth were to come to us, I would scoop out a share for you, then scoop out more for you." Then the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, passed away before he could fulfill that promise to me. So I went to Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, and told him. Abu Bakr said, "And we — if something were to come to us, I would scoop out for you, then scoop out for you, then scoop out for you." He said: Then wealth came to him, and he scooped out for me a handful, then another handful, then he said, "You owe no charity on it until a year passes." He said: So I weighed it, and it came to one thousand five hundred.
