امت کی مضبوطی

(An ally of the tribe of Bani 'Amir bin Lu'ai and one of those who had witnessed the battle of Badr
with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)) Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent Abu 'Ubaida bin AlJarrah to Bahrain to collect the Jizya
tax. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had concluded a peace treaty with the people of Bahrain and appointed Al 'Ala
bin Al-Hadrami as their chief; Abu Ubaida arrived from Bahrain with the money. The Ansar heard of
Abu 'Ubaida's arrival which coincided with the Fajr (morning) prayer led by Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). When
the Prophet (ﷺ) finished the prayer, they came to him. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) smiled when he saw them and said,
"I think you have heard of the arrival of Abu 'Ubaida and that he has brought something." They
replied, "Yes, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! " He said, "Have the good news, and hope for what will please you.
By Allah, I am not afraid that you will become poor, but I am afraid that worldly wealth will be given
to you in abundance as it was given to those (nations) before you, and you will start competing each
other for it as the previous nations competed for it, and then it will divert you (from good) as it
diverted them." '
