Sunan an-Nasai 1365 (Book 13, Hadith 187) #15973
Distributing Wealth Quickly

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ was in a hurry to distribute some gold he had remembered during his prayer.

It was narrated that 'Uqbah bin Al-Harith said: "I prayed 'Asr with the Prophet in Al-Madinah, then he left, stepping over the necks of the people, so quickly that the people were surprised at his haste. He entered unto one of his wives, then he came out and said: 'While I was praying 'Asr, I remembered some gold that we had, and I did not want it to stay with us overnight, so I ordered that it be distributed'."
أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ بَكَّارٍ الْحَرَّانِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي حُسَيْنٍ النَّوْفَلِيِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، قَالَ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ الْعَصْرَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ يَتَخَطَّى رِقَابَ النَّاسِ سَرِيعًا حَتَّى تَعَجَّبَ النَّاسُ لِسُرْعَتِهِ فَتَبِعَهُ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِهِ فَدَخَلَ عَلَى بَعْضِ أَزْوَاجِهِ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنِّي ذَكَرْتُ وَأَنَا فِي الْعَصْرِ شَيْئًا مِنْ تِبْرٍ كَانَ عِنْدَنَا فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ يَبِيتَ عِنْدَنَا فَأَمَرْتُ بِقِسْمَتِهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of distributing wealth quickly. It was narrated by 'Uqbah bin Al-Harith that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was praying 'Asr in Al-Madinah when he suddenly remembered some gold that they had and wanted it to be distributed right away. He left the prayer quickly and went to one of his wives before coming back out and ordering for it to be distributed. This shows us how important it is for us to not keep wealth with us overnight but rather distribute it as soon as possible so that we can benefit from its blessings. We should also remember that even though we may have wealth, we should not forget our prayers or neglect them because they are more important than anything else in this world.
