Mar Ukva's Charity Records
On his deathbed, Mar Ukva finds he gave 7,000 gold dinars to charity. "My provisions are light," he says, and gives away half his remaining wealth.
The Gemara relates that when Mar Ukva was dying, he instructed others to bring him his charity records. He found that it was written there that he had given seven thousand gold dinars to charity. He commented, “My provisions are light, and the way is far. This meager sum is insufficient for me to merit the World to Come.” He then distributed half of his remaining money to charity.
