In another wording recorded by al-Bukhārī (1)—through Qabīṣah, from Sufyān al-Thawrī, from al-Aʿmash, from Ibrāhīm, from al-Aswad, from ʿĀʾishah—she said: “The Prophet ﷺ passed away while his coat of mail was held in pledge to a Jew for thirty.”

Al-Bayhaqī (2) also transmitted it, via Yazīd ibn Hārūn, from al-Thawrī, from al-Aʿmash, from Ibrāhīm, from al-Aswad, on her authority, and she said: “The Prophet ﷺ died while his coat of mail was mortgaged for thirty sāʿs of barley.”

He then stated: al-Bukhārī (3) likewise reported it through Muḥammad ibn Kathīr from Sufyān.

Al-Bayhaqī (4) went on to say: ʿAlī ibn Aḥmad ibn ʿAbdān informed us; Abū Bakr Muḥammad ibn Maḥmuwyah al-ʿAskarī informed us; Jaʿfar ibn Muḥammad al-Qalānsī narrated to us; Ādam narrated to us; Shaybān narrated to us from Qatādah, from Anas.

He said: “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was once offered nothing but barley bread and rancid fat.” Anas added: “I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, ‘By Him in whose hand is Muhammad’s soul, the household of Muhammad has never greeted the morning with even a single sāʿ of wheat or a single sāʿ of dates in its possession.’ On that day he had nine wives. He even pledged one of his coats of mail to a Jew in Madinah and obtained food from him, yet he found nothing with which to redeem it before he ﷺ passed away.”

Ibn Mājah (6) recorded part of this report through Shaybān ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Nahwī, from Qatādah, with the same chain.

Imām Aḥmad (7) said: ʿAbd al-Ṣamad narrated to us; Thābit narrated to us; Hilāl narrated to us, from ʿIkrimah, from Ibn ʿAbbās: The Prophet ﷺ looked at Mount Uḥud and said, “By Him in whose hand is my soul, I would not wish Mount Uḥud turned into gold for the Family of Muhammad and then die while two dinars of it remain with me—except what I set aside to pay a debt.” Ibn ʿAbbās continued: He died leaving neither dinar nor dirham, neither male slave nor bond-woman; he left his coat of mail in pledge to a Jew for thirty sāʿs of barley.

Ibn Mājah (8) transmitted the last portion of this narration through ʿAbd Allāh ibn Muʿāwiyah al-Jumaḥī, from Thābit ibn Yazīd, from Hilāl ibn Khabbāb al-ʿAbdī al-Kūfī, with this chain.

The first part of it is corroborated in the Ṣaḥīḥ (9) in the narration of Abū Dharr—may Allah be pleased with him.

Imām Aḥmad (10) also said: ʿAbd al-Ṣamad, Abū Saʿīd, and ʿAffān narrated to us; they said: Thābit—that is, Ibn Yazīd—narrated to us
