" 60 Giving away his last possession in charity Hadrat Sahl bin Sa‘d ra relates, "The Holy Prophet Muhammad sa had given seven Dinars to Hadrat ‘ A ’ishah ra for safe keeping. In his last illness he said, 'O ‘ A ’ishah, what about the gold which you had'. She replied it was still with her. The Holy Prophet Muhammad sa told her to give it in charity. At this point he fainted for a while and Hadrat ‘ A ’ishah ra was busy in looking after him. When he recovered consciousness, he asked, "Has the gold been given in charity. Hadrat ‘ A ’ishah ra replied, 'Not yet'. He asked for that gold and put it on his hand. He said, "What sort of trust in God, it would be if Muhammad sa while leaving this world and meeting his God, had these D i n a rs with him. He then gave it away as alms. He passed away the very same day. " 61 In brief this verse of Maul a n a R u m, a great Muslim Persian scholar, fittingly describes the extent of the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa 's generosity.
