Q
How did Abu Bakr handle the financial promises made by the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) after his passing?
A
The Prophet (ﷺ) said to me, “I will give you so much (the Prophet (ﷺ) pointed thrice with his hands) when
funds of Bahrain will come to me.” But the Prophet (ﷺ) died before the money reached him. (When it
came) Abu Bakr ordered an announcer to announce that whoever had a money claim on the Prophet (ﷺ) or
was promised to be given something, should come to Abu Bakr. I went to Abu Bakr and told him that
the Prophet (ﷺ) had promised to give me so much. On that Abu Bakr gave me three handfuls (of money).
