Sayyidah Juwayriyah bint al-Harith (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: "By Allah! At the time of his death the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) left neither a dinar, nor a dirham, nor a male slave, nor a female slave, except his mule, his weapons and a piece of land which he (peace and blessings be upon him) had given in charity." This hadith is sahih, and Imam Bukhari has recorded it.

Abu Abd al-Rahman al-Sulami narrates that when Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) was besieged (in his house), he looked down at the people from the roof of his house and said: "I ask you by Allah: do you know that no one could drink the water of the well of Rumah without paying a price, so I bought it with my own wealth and dedicated it to the rich, the poor and the wayfarer alike?" The people replied: "Yes (we know)." This hadith is sahih on the condition of the two Shaykhs, but they did not record it.
