Bakr ibn Muḍar transmitted from Mūsā ibn Jubayr, from Abū Umāmah ibn Sahl, who said: ʿUrwah and I once visited ʿĀʾishah. She said, “If only you had seen the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during one of his illnesses. I had six—no, perhaps seven—dīnars with me, and he ordered me to distribute them. His sickness so occupied me that I forgot, until Allah granted him recovery. He then asked me about the coins, called for them, placed them in his palm and said, ‘What would the Prophet of Allah think were he to meet Allah while these were still in his possession?’”

One day a man from the idolaters met me and said, “Bilāl, I have ample means, so borrow from no one but me.” I did so. Then, one day, after performing ablution I rose to give the call to prayer, and there was that idolater with a band of merchants.
