Generosity of the Prophet (ﷺ)

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) gave Al 'Abbas some wealth from Bahrain as a reward for paying his and 'Aqil's ransom.

وَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ صُهَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ أُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ بِمَالٍ مِنَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ، فَجَاءَهُ الْعَبَّاسُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَعْطِنِي فَإِنِّي فَادَيْتُ نَفْسِي، وَفَادَيْتُ عَقِيلاً‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ خُذْ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَأَعْطَاهُ فِي ثَوْبِهِ‏.‏
