Jabir bin `Abdullah said, "When the Prophet (ﷺ) died, Abu Bakr received some property from Al-`Ala bin
Al-Hadrami. Abu Bakr said to the people, "Whoever has a money claim on the Prophet, or was
promised something by him, should come to us (so that we may pay him his right)." Jabir added, "I
said (to Abu Bakr), Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) promised me that he would give me this much, and this much, and
this much (spreading his hands three times)." Jabir added, "Abu Bakr counted for me and handed me
