The Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, consoled all those who lost their wealth in Allah’s Path
Suhayb Ar-Roomi (a Companion) said
“The Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, went to Madinah, and Abu Bakr went with him. I wanted to go, too, but I was prevented by some youth of the Quraysh from going, so I spent the night awake, and did not rest, and they said: ‘Allah has made him busy with a stomach ache.’ Then I left, and some people among them followed me after I had traversed some distance and they wanted to take me back. So I said to them: ‘If I were to give you some ounces of gold, would you allow me to go and fulfill the agreement?’ So they agreed, and I followed them to Makkah. So I said to them: ‘Dig beneath the bottom of the door you will find gold, and go to this woman, and take two pieces of jewelry.’ Then I went to Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, while he was in Qubaa’ before he left, and when he saw me, he, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: ‘Your trade is [accepted and is] profitable, O Abu Yahya.’ So I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah no one came to you before me, and no one informed you of what happened besides (angel) Gabriel.’” Then Allah revealed about Suhayb (the verse which means): «And of the people is he who sells himself, seeking means to the approval of Allah. And Allah is Kind to [His] servants.» ”
