حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ يَحْيَی حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ شَقِيقٍ عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ کَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا أَمَرَنَا بِالصَّدَقَةِ انْطَلَقَ أَحَدُنَا إِلَی السُّوقِ فَيُحَامِلُ فَيُصِيبُ الْمُدَّ وَإِنَّ لِبَعْضِهِمْ الْيَوْمَ لَمِائَةَ أَلْفٍ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 1416
Narrated Abu Mas`ud Al-Ansari: Whenever Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) ordered us to give in charity, we used to go to the market and work as porters and get a Mudd (a special measure of grain) and then give it in charity. (Those were the days of poverty) and today some of us have one hundred thousand.
