It was narrated from 'Amr bin 'Awf, who was an ally of Banu 'AmirbinLu'ai and was present at (the battle of) Badr with theMessenger ofAllah (ﷺ), that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent'Ubaidah binJarrah to Bahrain to collect the Jizyah, and theProphet (ﷺ) hadmade a treaty with the people of Bahrain, and heappointed as theirgovernor 'Ala' bin Hadrami. Abu 'Ubaidancame with the wealth fromBahrain and the Ansar heard that Abu'Ubaidah had come, so theyattended the Fajr prayer with theMessenger of Allah (ﷺ). When theMessenger of Allah (ﷺ) hadprayed, he went away, so they interceptedhim. The Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) smiled when he saw them, then hesaid:
'I think you haveheard that Abu 'Ubaidah has brought somethingfrom Bahrain?' Theysaid: 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'Be ofgood cheerand hope for that which will make you happy. By Allah, I donot fearpoverty for you, rather I fear that you will enjoy ease andplentylike those who came before you, and that you will compete withoneanother as they did, and you will be destroyed as they were.'"
