English Translation
Ibn Abbas narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) came out to his companions one day with a piece of gold in his hand and said to Abdullah ibn Umar: 'What would Muhammad say to his Lord if he died while this was in his possession?' He distributed it before he got up, then said: 'It would not please me that the companions of Muhammad had gold and silver like this mountain' — and he pointed to Uhud — 'which they spent in the path of Allah but left behind even a single dinar.'
