It is narrated from Sayyiduna Utbah bin Amr and Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud Badri (may Allah be pleased with them), they say: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to command giving charity, so one of us would go and work as a porter and bring back a mudd, while today some possess a hundred thousand dirhams each. Shaqiq says: I think by the one with a hundred thousand, he meant himself.

Hasan Basri says: When the time of death of Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) approached, he began to weep and said: Indeed, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave us an admonition, but we abandoned the will of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). His admonition was that our sustenance should be only as much as the provisions of a rider. Then, when we saw the inheritance left by Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) after his death, it was worth twenty-five, twenty-six, or thirty-five, thirty-six dirhams.

Sayyiduna Buraidah Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: One servant and one mount should be sufficient for you from this world.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: Indeed, on the Day of Resurrection, I will be the closest to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and the reason for this is that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, on the Day of Resurrection, the person who will be closest to me is the one who departs from this world in the same state in which I am leaving him. And by Allah, every one of you has become involved in the world in some way or another, except me.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: By Allah! Due to hunger, I would press my liver against the ground, and I would tie a stone to my stomach because of hunger. One day, it so happened that I sat on the path where people would pass by. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) passed by me, and I asked him about a verse from the Noble Qur’an. My intention was that he would take me with him (and feed me), but he did not do so. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) passed by, and I asked him about a verse from the Book of Allah. My intention in asking him was also that he would take me with him, but he too did not do so. Meanwhile, Abu al-Qasim (the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him) passed by, and he recognized from my face and my inner state what was going on, and he said:“Abu Hurairah!”I said:“Yes, O Messenger of Allah! I am present.”He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Come with me.”Then, when he (peace and blessings be upon him) entered his house, I asked his permission to enter, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) granted me permission. There I found a bowl of milk. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked:“Where did this milk come from?”The household said:“So-and-so or the family of so-and-so sent it to us as a gift.”He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Abu Hurairah!”I said:“Yes, O Messenger of Allah! I am present.”He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Go and call the people of Suffah.”The people of Suffah were the guests of Islam; they had neither family nor wealth. Whenever a gift would come to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he would send a portion of it to them as well. But this time, this matter saddened me, because I was hoping that I would drink this milk and gain strength for the rest of the day and night. But now the issue was that I was the messenger, and when the people of Suffah would come, I would have to serve them, and there would be no milk left for me. But there was no way except to obey Allah and His Messenger. So I went and brought them. They came and sought permission from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he granted them permission. They entered the house and sat in their respective places. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Abu Hurairah! Take the milk and serve them.”So I took the bowl and began to give it to them. A man would take the bowl and drink until he was satisfied, then return the bowl, and I would give it to the next person. He would drink until he was satisfied and then return the bowl. This continued until I reached the last person, and then I handed the bowl to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He took it and placed it in his hand. There was still some milk left in it. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his head, looked at it, and began to smile, and said:“Abu Hur!”I said:“Yes, O Messenger of Allah! I am present.”He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“I and you, we two are left.”I said:“O Messenger of Allah! You have spoken the truth.”He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“So sit and drink.”So I sat and drank. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said again:“And drink.”I drank more. He (peace and blessings be upon him) kept saying:“And drink,”and I kept drinking until I said:“No, by Him Who has sent you with the truth! There is no room left.”Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Then hand me the bowl.”I gave him the bowl, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) drank the remaining milk.
