Allah, his prayers for them al ways re sult ed in bless ings and

said: "O Allah, give him (i.e., Anas) prop er ty and chil dren and
bless him." Thus I am one of the rich est Ansaris and have had nu -
mer ous chil dren. 39

The Prophet said to 'Abd ar-Rahman ibn 'Awf: "May Allah make
you plen ti ful." Ibn Sa`d and al-Bayhaqi re late this from an oth er
source and add: `'Abd ar-Rahman said: "I have be come so wealthy
that which ev er stone I raise I know I will find ei ther gold or sil -
ver." 40
The Prophet prayed for al-Baraqi. He reached such a lev el in com -
merce that he knew that even if he sold soil he would earn from it. 41

Abu 'U qayl said that when his grand fa ther 'Ab dul lah ibn Hisham
went to the mar ket to buy wheat, he met Ibn al-Zubayr and Ibn
'Um ar, who said: "Be our part ner, be cause the Prophet prayed for
plen ty for you." At that, he shared his wheat with them. Yet his
cam el load nev er grew less due to this abun dance. He re turned
home with it. 42
