حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى الْمِصْرِيُّ،‏‏‏‏ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ وَهْبٍ،‏‏‏‏ أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ،‏‏‏‏ أَنَّ الْمِسْوَرَ بْنَ مَخْرَمَةَ أَخْبَرَهُ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَوْفٍ،‏‏‏‏ وَهُوَ حَلِيفُ بَنِي عَامِرِ بْنِ لُؤَيٍّ،‏‏‏‏ وَكَانَ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا مَع رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ،‏‏‏‏ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعَثَ أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ بْنَ الْجَرَّاحِ إِلَى الْبَحْرَيْنِ يَأْتِي بِجِزْيَتِهَا،‏‏‏‏ وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ هُوَ صَالَحَ أَهْلَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ،‏‏‏‏ وَأَمَّرَ عَلَيْهِمْ الْعَلَاءَ بْنَ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ،‏‏‏‏ فَقَدِمَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بِمَالٍ مِنْ الْبَحْرَيْنِ،‏‏‏‏ فَسَمِعَتْ الْأَنْصَارُ بِقُدُومِ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ فَوَافَوْا صَلَاةَ الْفَجْرِ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ،‏‏‏‏ فَلَمَّا صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ انْصَرَفَ،‏‏‏‏ فَتَعَرَّضُوا لَهُ،‏‏‏‏ فَتَبَسَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ رَآهُمْ،‏‏‏‏ ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَظُنُّكُمْ سَمِعْتُمْ أَنَّ أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ قَدِمَ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ الْبَحْرَيْنِ ،‏‏‏‏ قَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ أَجَلْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَبْشِرُوا وَأَمِّلُوا مَا يَسُرُّكُمْ،‏‏‏‏ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا الْفَقْرَ أَخْشَى عَلَيْكُمْ،‏‏‏‏ وَلَكِنِّي أَخْشَى عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ تُبْسَطَ الدُّنْيَا عَلَيْكُمْ،‏‏‏‏ كَمَا بُسِطَتْ عَلَى مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ،‏‏‏‏ فَتَنَافَسُوهَا كَمَا تَنَافَسُوهَا،‏‏‏‏ فَتُهْلِكَكُمْ كَمَا أَهْلَكَتْهُمْ .

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent ‘Ubaidah bin Jarrah رضی اللہ عنہ to Bahrain to collect the Jizyah, and the Prophet (ﷺ) had made a treaty with the people of Bahrain, and he appointed as their governor ‘Ala’ bin Hadrami رضی اللہ عنہ. Abu ‘Ubaidan came with the wealth from Bahrain and the Ansar heard that Abu ‘Ubaidah had come, so they attended the Fajr prayer with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had prayed, he went away, so they intercepted him. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) smiled when he saw them, then he said: ‘I think you have heard that Abu ‘Ubaidah has brought something from Bahrain?’ They said: ‘Yes, O Messenger of Allah.’ He said: ‘Be of good cheer and hope for that which will make you happy. By Allah, I do not fear poverty for you, rather I fear that you will enjoy ease and plenty like those who came before you, and that you will compete with one another as they did, and you will be destroyed as they were.’”
