حديث عَمْرِو بْنِ عَوْفٍ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، وَهُوَ حَلِيفٌ لِبَنِي عَامِرِ بْنِ لُؤَيٍّ، وَكَانَ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا قَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بَعَثَ أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ بْنَ الْجَرَّاحِ إِلَى الْبَحْرَيْنِ يَأتِي بِجِزْيَتِهَا وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، هُوَ صَالَحَ أَهْلَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ، وَأَمَّرَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْعَلَاءَ بْنَ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ فَقَدِمَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بمَالٍ مِنَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ فَسَمِعَتِ الأَنْصَارُ بِقُدُومِ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ فَوَافَتْ صَلَاةَ الصُّبْحِ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَلَمَّا صَلَّى بِهِمُ الْفَجْرَ انْصَرَفَ فَتَعَرَّضُوا لَهُ فَتَبَسَّمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، حِينَ رَآهُمْ وَقَالَ: أَظُنُّكُم قَدْ سَمِعْتُمْ أَنَّ أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ قَدْ جَاءَ بِشَيْءٍ ⦗٣١٧⦘ قَالُوا: أَجَلْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ: فَأَبْشِروا وَأَمِّلوا مَا يَسُرُّكُمْ فَوَاللهِ لَا الْفَقْرَ أَخْشى عَلَيْكُمْ، وَلكِنْ أَخْشى عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ تُبْسَطَ عَلَيْكُمُ الدُّنْيَا كَمَا بُسِطَتْ عَلَى مَنْ كَانَ قَبلَكُمْ، فَتَنَافَسُوهَا كَمَا تَنَافَسُوهَا، وَتُهْلِكَكُمْ كَمَا أَهْلَكَتْهُمْ.
'Amr bin 'Aûf Al-Ansârî Narrated from:
Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم sent Abû 'Ubaida bin Al-Jarrâh to Bahrain to collect the Jizya. Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم had established peace with the people of Bahrain and appointed Al-'Alâ' bin Al-Hadrami as their governor.When Abû 'Ubaida came from Bahrain with the money, the Ansâr heard of Abû 'Ubaida's arrival which coincided with the time of the Fajr prayer with the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. When Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم led them in the Fajr prayer and finished, the Ansâr approached him, and he looked at them and smiled on seeing them and said, "I feel that you have heard that Abû 'Ubaida has brought something?" They said, "Yes, O Allâh's Messenger!"He said, "Rejoice and hope for what will please you! By Allâh, I am not afraid of your poverty, but I am afraid that you will lead a life of luxury as past nations did, whereupon you will compete with each other for it, as they competed for it, and it will destroy you as it destroyed them." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 385, Vol. 4)
