عن أبي سعيد الخدري رضي الله عنه مرفوعاً: «يكون خليفة من خلفائكم في آخر الزمان يحثُو المالَ ولا يَعُدُّهُ».

Translation

Abu Sa‘īd al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "From among your caliphs there will be a caliph, at the end of times, who will distribute money without counting it."

Explanation

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informs us that at the end of times, a Muslim caliph will generously distribute money countlessly. Indeed, there will be then huge amounts of wealth and spoils of war.
