It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I do not like that I should have gold equal to the mountain of Uhud and (the third day's) night comes upon me while even a single dinar of it remains with me, except that (gold) which I keep to pay off a debt."

Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said during his illness of death: "Aisha! What happened to the gold?" I said: It is with me. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Bring it to me." I brought it. It was nine or five dinars. He (peace and blessings be upon him) held it in his hand and, gesturing, said: "What will Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) think of his Lord if he meets his Lord in this state while this gold is with him? Now do this: spend it (immediately)." Yazid, the narrator, gestured with his hand (to describe the manner of the Prophet's gesture).
