It was narrated from Jabir bin 'Abdullah that the Prophet (s.a.w) asked his family for condiments and they said: "We do not have anything but vinegar." He called for it and he started eating it, saying: "What an excellent condiment vinegar is, what an excellent condiment vinegar is."

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَأَلَ أَهْلَهُ الأُدُمَ ، فَقَالُوا: مَا عِنْدَنَا إِلاَّ خَلٌّ ، فَدَعَا بِهِ ، فَجَعَلَ يَأْكُلُ بِهِ ، وَيَقُولُ: نِعْمَ الأُدُمُ الْخَلُّ ، نِعْمَ الأُدُمُ الْخَلُّ.

Jabir bin 'Abdullah said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) took me by the hand one day and (led me) to his house, and some pieces of bread were brought to him. He said: 'Is there any condiment?' They said: 'No, except a little vinegar.' He said: 'Vinegar is an excellent condiment."' Jabir said: "I have not stopped liking vinegar since I heard that from the Prophet of Allah (s.a.w)." Talhah said: "I have not stopped liking vinegar since I heard that from Jabir."

حَدَّثَنِي يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّوْرَقِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ، يَعْنِي ابْنَ عُلَيَّةَ ، عَنِ الْمُثَنَّى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي طَلْحَةُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، يَقُولُ: أَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِيَدِي ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ ، فَأَخْرَجَ إِلَيْهِ فِلَقًا مِنْ خُبْزٍ ، فَقَالَ: مَا مِنْ أُدُمٍ ؟ فَقَالُوا: لاَ إِلاَّ شَيْءٌ مِنْ خَلٍّ ، قَالَ : فَإِنَّ الْخَلَّ نِعْمَ الأُدُمُ. قَالَ جَابِرٌ: فَمَا زِلْتُ أُحِبُّ الْخَلَّ مُنْذُ سَمِعْتُهَا مِنْ نَبِيِّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. وقَالَ طَلْحَةُ: مَا زِلْتُ أُحِبُّ الْخَلَّ مُنْذُ سَمِعْتُهَا مِنْ جَابِرٍ.

Jabir bin 'Abdullah said: "I was sitting in a house and the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) passed by me. He gestured to me so I stood up, and he took hold of my hand and we set off until we came to the apartment of one of his wives. He went in, then he gave me permission to enter, and I entered beyond the curtain. He said: 'Is there anything for breakfast?' They said: 'Yes.' Three loaves of bread were brought to him, which they put on a tray of palm leaves. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) took one loaf and put it in front of him,' and he took another loaf and put it in front of me, then he took the third loaf and broke it in two, putting one half in front of him and one in front of me. Then he said: 'Is there any condiment?' They said: 'No, except a little vinegar.' He said: 'Bring it, what an excellent condiment it is.'"

وحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ أَبِي زَيْنَبَ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سُفْيَانَ طَلْحَةُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ جَالِسًا فِي دَارِي ، فَمَرَّ بِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَشَارَ إِلَيَّ ، فَقُمْتُ إِلَيْهِ ، فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي ، فَانْطَلَقْنَا حَتَّى أَتَى بَعْضَ حُجَرِ نِسَائِهِ ، فَدَخَلَ ثُمَّ أَذِنَ لِي ، فَدَخَلْتُ الْحِجَابَ عَلَيْهَا ، فَقَالَ: هَلْ مِنْ غَدَاءٍ ؟ فَقَالُوا : نَعَمْ ، فَأُتِيَ بِثَلاَثَةِ أَقْرِصَةٍ ، فَوُضِعْنَ عَلَى نَبِيٍّ ، فَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قُرْصًا ، فَوَضَعَهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ ، وَأَخَذَ قُرْصًا آخَرَ ، فَوَضَعَهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ الثَّالِثَ ، فَكَسَرَهُ بِاثْنَيْنِ ، فَجَعَلَ نِصْفَهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ ، وَنِصْفَهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: هَلْ مِنْ أُدُمٍ ؟ قَالُوا: لاَ إِلاَّ شَيْءٌ مِنْ خَلٍّ ، قَالَ: هَاتُوهُ ، فَنِعْمَ الأُدُمُ هُوَ.

It was narrated that Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari said: "When food was brought to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w), he would eat some of it and send the leftovers to me. One day he sent food of which he had not eaten anything, because there was garlic in it. I asked him: 'Is it Haram?' He said: 'No, but I dislike it because of its smell."' He said: "And I dislike that which he disliked."

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، وَاللَّفْظُ لاِبْنِ الْمُثَنَّى ، قَالاَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الأَنْصَارِيِّ ، قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا أُتِيَ بِطَعَامٍ أَكَلَ مِنْهُ ، وَبَعَثَ بِفَضْلِهِ إِلَيَّ ، وَإِنَّهُ بَعَثَ إِلَيَّ يَوْمًا بِفَضْلَةٍ لَمْ يَأْكُلْ مِنْهَا ، لأَنَّ فِيهَا ثُومًا ، فَسَأَلْتُهُ: أَحَرَامٌ هُوَ ؟ قَالَ: لاَ ، وَلَكِنِّي أَكْرَهُهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ رِيحِهِ ، قَالَ: فَإِنِّي أَكْرَهُ مَا كَرِهْتَ.

It was narrated from Abu Ayyub that the Prophet (s.a.w) came and stayed in his house. The Prophet (s.a.w) stayed on the lower floor and Abu Ayyub was on the top floor. Abu Ayyub got up one night and said: "We are walking above the head of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w)." So they moved aside and spend the night in a corner. Then he spoke to the Prophet (s.a.w) (about that) and the Prophet (s.a.w) said: "The lower floor is more comfortable." He said: "I will not live on a roof beneath which you are." So the Prophet (s.a.w) moved to the upper floor and Abu Ayyub moved to the lower floor. He used to make food for the Prophet (s.a.w), and when it was brought back to him, he would ask where his fingers had touched it, and he would follow the place where his fingers had been. He made him some food that contained garlic, and when it was brought back to him he asked where his fingers had touched it, and it was said to him: "He did not eat any of it." He got worried and went up to him, and said: "Is it lfaram?" The Prophet (s.a.w) said: "No, but I do not like it." He said: "I dislike what you dislike." He said: "And the Revelation used to come to the Prophet (s.a.w)."

وحَدَّثَنِي حَجَّاجُ بْنُ الشَّاعِرِ ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ صَخْرٍ ، وَاللَّفْظُ مِنْهُمَا قَرِيبٌ ، قَالاَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ ، حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ ، فِي رِوَايَةِ حَجَّاجٍ: ابْنُ يَزِيدَ أَبُو زَيْدٍ الأَحْوَلُ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ ، عَنْ أَفْلَحَ ، مَوْلَى أَبِي أَيُّوبَ ، عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَزَلَ عَلَيْهِ ، فَنَزَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي السُّفْلِ ، وَأَبُو أَيُّوبَ فِي الْعِلْوِ ، قَالَ : فَانْتَبَهَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ لَيْلَةً ، فَقَالَ: نَمْشِي فَوْقَ رَأْسِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَتَنَحَّوْا فَبَاتُوا فِي جَانِبٍ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : السُّفْلُ أَرْفَقُ ، فَقَالَ : لاَ أَعْلُو سَقِيفَةً أَنْتَ تَحْتَهَا ، فَتَحَوَّلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْعُلُوِّ ، وَأَبُو أَيُّوبَ فِي السُّفْلِ ، فَكَانَ يَصْنَعُ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ طَعَامًا فَإِذَا جِيءَ بِهِ إِلَيْهِ سَأَلَ عَنْ مَوْضِعِ أَصَابِعِهِ فَيَتَتَبَّعُ مَوْضِعَ أَصَابِعِهِ ، فَصَنَعَ لَهُ طَعَامًا فِيهِ ثُومٌ ، فَلَمَّا رُدَّ إِلَيْهِ سَأَلَ عَنْ مَوْضِعِ أَصَابِعِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: لَمْ يَأْكُلْ ، فَفَزِعَ وَصَعِدَ إِلَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ: أَحَرَامٌ هُوَ ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: لاَ وَلَكِنِّي أَكْرَهُهُ ، قَالَ: فَإِنِّي أَكْرَهُ مَا تَكْرَهُ ، أَوْ مَا كَرِهْتَ. قَالَ: وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُؤْتَى.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "A man came to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and said: 'I am starving.' He sent word to one of his wives and she said: 'By the One Who has sent you with the truth, I do not have anything but water.' Then he sent word to another of his wives, and she said something similar, until all of them had said that: 'No, by the One Who has sent you with the truth, I do not have anything but water.' He said: 'Who will host this man tonight, and Allah will have mercy on him?' An Ansari man stood up and said: 'I will, O Messenger of Allah.' He took him to his house and said to his wife: 'Do you have anything?' She said: 'No, only the food for my children.' He said: 'Distract them with something, then when our guest comes in, extinguish the lamp and make him think that we are eating. Then when he wants to eat, go to the lamp and extinguish it.' They sat and the guest ate, and the following morning he went to the Prophet (s.a.w), who said: 'Allah is pleased with what you two did for your guest last night."'

حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ ، عَنْ فُضَيْلِ بْنِ غَزْوَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ الأَشْجَعِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي مَجْهُودٌ ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى بَعْضِ نِسَائِهِ ، فَقَالَتْ: وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ ، مَا عِنْدِي إِلاَّ مَاءٌ ، ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى أُخْرَى ، فَقَالَتْ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ، حَتَّى قُلْنَ كُلُّهُنَّ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ : لاَ ، وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ ، مَا عِنْدِي إِلاَّ مَاءٌ ، فَقَالَ : مَنْ يُضِيفُ هَذَا اللَّيْلَةَ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ ؟ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ ، فَقَالَ : أَنَا ، يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، فَانْطَلَقَ بِهِ إِلَى رَحْلِهِ ، فَقَالَ لاِمْرَأَتِهِ : هَلْ عِنْدَكِ شَيْءٌ ؟ قَالَتْ: لاَ إِلاَّ قُوتُ صِبْيَانِي ، قَالَ : فَعَلِّلِيهِمْ بِشَيْءٍ ، فَإِذَا دَخَلَ ضَيْفُنَا فَأَطْفِئِ السِّرَاجَ ، وَأَرِيهِ أَنَّا نَأْكُلُ ، فَإِذَا أَهْوَى لِيَأْكُلَ ، فَقُومِي إِلَى السِّرَاجِ حَتَّى تُطْفِئِيهِ ، قَالَ: فَقَعَدُوا وَأَكَلَ الضَّيْفُ ، فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ غَدَا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ: قَدْ عَجِبَ اللَّهُ مِنْ صَنِيعِكُمَا بِضَيْفِكُمَا اللَّيْلَةَ.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that an Ansari man had a guest one night, and he did not have anything but food for himself and his children. He said to his wife: "Put the children to sleep and extinguish the lamp, then serve what you have to the guest." He said: "And this Verse was revealed: '...And give them (emigrants) preference over themselves even though they were in need of that.''

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، عَنْ فُضَيْلِ بْنِ غَزْوَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ بَاتَ بِهِ ضَيْفٌ ، فَلَمْ يَكُنْ عِنْدَهُ إِلاَّ قُوتُهُ وَقُوتُ صِبْيَانِهِ ، فَقَالَ لاِمْرَأَتِهِ: نَوِّمِي الصِّبْيَةَ ، وَأَطْفِئِ السِّرَاجَ ، وَقَرِّبِي لِلضَّيْفِ مَا عِنْدَكِ ، قَالَ: فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ {وَيُؤْثِرُونَ عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَلَوْ كَانَ بِهِمْ خَصَاصَةٌ}.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "A man came to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) to be hosted as a guest, but he did not have anything to offer him. He said: 'Won't some man host him, and Allah will have mercy on him?' An-Ansari man who was called Abu Talhah stood up and took him to his house..." and he quoted a Hadith like that of Jarir (no. 5359), and he mentioned the revelation of the Verse as Waki' mentioned it (no. 5360).

وَحَدَّثَنَاهُ أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِيُضِيفَهُ ، فَلَمْ يَكُنْ عِنْدَهُ مَا يُضِيفُهُ ، فَقَالَ: أَلاَ رَجُلٌ يُضِيفُ هَذَا رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ ؟ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ يُقَالُ لَهُ: أَبُو طَلْحَةَ ، فَانْطَلَقَ بِهِ إِلَى رَحْلِهِ وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ بِنَحْوِ حَدِيثِ جَرِيرٍ ، وَذَكَرَ فِيهِ نُزُولَ الآيَةِ كَمَا ذَكَرَهُ وَكِيعٌ.

It was narrated that Al-Miqdad said: "I came with two companions of mine, and our hearing and sight had been affected by hunger. We presented ourselves to the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w), but none of them could host us. We came to the Prophet (s.a.w) and he took us to his family. There were three goats there and the Prophet (s.a.w) said: 'Milk them and we will share the milk.' We used to milk them and each one of us would drink his share, and we would set aside the Prophet's share for him. He would come at night and would say Salam in such a manner that would not wake one who was sleeping, but one who was awake would hear it. Then he would go to the Masjid and pray, then he would come to his drink and drink it. One night the Shaitan came to me when I had drunk my share and said: 'Mulhammad has gone to the Ansar and they are offering him hospitality, and he will have with them something that will leave him in no need of this draught (of milk).' So I went and drank it, and when it had penetrated deeply into my stomach and I realized that it was too late, the Shaitan made me regret it and he said: 'Woe to you, what have you done? Have you drunk the drink of Muhammad (s.a.w)? He will come and will not find it, then he will pray against you and you will be doomed, and you will be a loser in this world and in the Hereafter.' I had a sheet over me; if I covered my feet with it my head was exposed, and if I covered my head with it my feet were exposed. I could not sleep, but my two companions had gone to sleep and they had not done what I had done. The Prophet (s.a.w) came and said Salam as he usually did, then he went to the Masjid and prayed. Then he came to his drink and uncovered it, and he did not find anything in it. He looked up at the sky and I said: 'Now he is praying against me and I am doomed.' But he said: 'O Allah, feed those who have fed me and give drink to those who have given me to drink.' I wrapped the blanket tightly around me and I took a knife and went to the goats, to see which of them was the fattest so that I could slaughter it for the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w), but its udder was full of milk, and they all had udders full of milk. I went to a vessel that belonged to the family of Muhammad (s.a.w), that they used for milking, and I milked (the goat) into it until it filled with foam, and I brought it to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w). He said: 'Did you have your drinks . tonight?' I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, drink.' He drank and handed it back to me. I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, drink.' He drank then handed it back to me. When I realized that the Prophet (s.a.w) had drunk his fill and I had earned the blessing (of his supplication), I laughed so much that I fell to the ground. The Prophet (s.a.w) said: 'Have you been up to no good, O Miqdad?' I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, what happened is such-and-such and I did such-and-such.' The Prophet (s.a.w) said: 'This is nothing but a mercy from Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. Why didn't you tell me so that we could have woken our two companions and they could have had some?' I said: 'By the One Who has sent you with the truth, if you get your share, and I get some with you, I would not care whoever else gets some."'

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا شَبَابَةُ بْنُ سَوَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى ، عَنِ الْمِقْدَادِ ، قَالَ: أَقْبَلْتُ أَنَا وَصَاحِبَانِ لِي ، وَقَدْ ذَهَبَتْ أَسْمَاعُنَا وَأَبْصَارُنَا مِنَ الْجَهْدِ ، فَجَعَلْنَا نَعْرِضُ أَنْفُسَنَا عَلَى أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ يَقْبَلُنَا ، فَأَتَيْنَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَانْطَلَقَ بِنَا إِلَى أَهْلِهِ ، فَإِذَا ثَلاَثَةُ أَعْنُزٍ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : احْتَلِبُوا هَذَا اللَّبَنَ بَيْنَنَا ، قَالَ : فَكُنَّا نَحْتَلِبُ فَيَشْرَبُ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنَّا نَصِيبَهُ ، وَنَرْفَعُ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَصِيبَهُ ، قَالَ : فَيَجِيءُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَيُسَلِّمُ تَسْلِيمًا لاَ يُوقِظُ نَائِمًا ، وَيُسْمِعُ الْيَقْظَانَ ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ يَأْتِي الْمَسْجِدَ فَيُصَلِّي ، ثُمَّ يَأْتِي شَرَابَهُ فَيَشْرَبُ ، فَأَتَانِي الشَّيْطَانُ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ وَقَدْ شَرِبْتُ نَصِيبِي ، فَقَالَ: مُحَمَّدٌ يَأْتِي الأَنْصَارَ فَيُتْحِفُونَهُ ، وَيُصِيبُ عِنْدَهُمْ مَا بِهِ حَاجَةٌ إِلَى هَذِهِ الْجُرْعَةِ ، فَأَتَيْتُهَا فَشَرِبْتُهَا ، فَلَمَّا أَنْ وَغَلَتْ فِي بَطْنِي ، وَعَلِمْتُ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ إِلَيْهَا سَبِيلٌ ، قَالَ: نَدَّمَنِي الشَّيْطَانُ ، فَقَالَ : وَيْحَكَ ، مَا صَنَعْتَ أَشَرِبْتَ شَرَابَ مُحَمَّدٍ ، فَيَجِيءُ فَلاَ يَجِدُهُ فَيَدْعُو عَلَيْكَ فَتَهْلِكُ فَتَذْهَبُ دُنْيَاكَ وَآخِرَتُكَ ، وَعَلَيَّ شَمْلَةٌ إِذَا وَضَعْتُهَا عَلَى قَدَمَيَّ خَرَجَ رَأْسِي ، وَإِذَا وَضَعْتُهَا عَلَى رَأْسِي خَرَجَ قَدَمَايَ ، وَجَعَلَ لاَ يَجِيئُنِي النَّوْمُ ، وَأَمَّا صَاحِبَايَ فَنَامَا وَلَمْ يَصْنَعَا مَا صَنَعْتُ ، قَالَ : فَجَاءَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَسَلَّمَ كَمَا كَانَ يُسَلِّمُ ، ثُمَّ أَتَى الْمَسْجِدَ فَصَلَّى ، ثُمَّ أَتَى شَرَابَهُ فَكَشَفَ عَنْهُ ، فَلَمْ يَجِدْ فِيهِ شَيْئًا ، فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ ، فَقُلْتُ : الآنَ يَدْعُو عَلَيَّ فَأَهْلِكُ ، فَقَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ ، أَطْعِمْ مَنْ أَطْعَمَنِي ، وَأَسْقِ مَنْ أَسْقَانِي ، قَالَ : فَعَمَدْتُ إِلَى الشَّمْلَةِ فَشَدَدْتُهَا عَلَيَّ ، وَأَخَذْتُ الشَّفْرَةَ فَانْطَلَقْتُ إِلَى الأَعْنُزِ أَيُّهَا أَسْمَنُ ، فَأَذْبَحُهَا لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَإِذَا هِيَ حَافِلَةٌ ، وَإِذَا هُنَّ حُفَّلٌ كُلُّهُنَّ ، فَعَمَدْتُ إِلَى إِنَاءٍ لِآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا كَانُوا يَطْمَعُونَ أَنْ يَحْتَلِبُوا فِيهِ ، قَالَ : فَحَلَبْتُ فِيهِ حَتَّى عَلَتْهُ رَغْوَةٌ ، فَجِئْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : أَشَرِبْتُمْ شَرَابَكُمُ اللَّيْلَةَ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، اشْرَبْ ، فَشَرِبَ ، ثُمَّ نَاوَلَنِي ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، اشْرَبْ ، فَشَرِبَ ، ثُمَّ نَاوَلَنِي ، فَلَمَّا عَرَفْتُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ رَوِيَ وَأَصَبْتُ دَعْوَتَهُ ، ضَحِكْتُ حَتَّى أُلْقِيتُ إِلَى الأَرْضِ ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِحْدَى سَوْآتِكَ يَا مِقْدَادُ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، كَانَ مِنْ أَمْرِي كَذَا وَكَذَا وَفَعَلْتُ كَذَا ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : مَا هَذِهِ إِلاَّ رَحْمَةٌ مِنَ اللهِ ، أَفَلاَ كُنْتَ آذَنْتَنِي فَنُوقِظَ صَاحِبَيْنَا فَيُصِيبَانِ مِنْهَا ، قَالَ : فَقُلْتُ : وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ ، مَا أُبَالِي إِذَا أَصَبْتَهَا وَأَصَبْتُهَا مَعَكَ مَنْ أَصَابَهَا مِنَ النَّاسِ.

It was narrated that 'Abdur-Rahman bin Abi Bakr said: "We were one hundred and thirty men with the Prophet (s.a.w) and the Prophet (s.a.w) said: 'Does any one among you have any food?' One man had a Sa' of foodstuff or the like, so he made some dough. Then a man, a tall Mushrik (idolater) with disheveled hair, came along with some sheep that he was driving. The Prophet (s.a.w) said: 'Will you sell one or give it as a gift?' He said: 'No, I will sell it.' So he bought a sheep from him, and it was slaughtered and prepared . The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) ordered that its liver be grilled. By Allah, there was no one among those one hundred and thirty who was not given his share of that liver by the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w). If he was present, he gave it to him, and if he was absent he set it aside for him. And he set out two large bowls from which we all ate our fill, and there was some left over, which I loaded onto a camel."

وحَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ ، وَحَامِدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْبَكْرَاوِيُّ ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى ، جَمِيعًا عَنِ الْمُعْتَمِرِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ ، وَاللَّفْظُ لاِبْنِ مُعَاذٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ ، وَحَدَّثَ أَيْضًا عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثَلاَثِينَ وَمِئَةً ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : هَلْ مَعَ أَحَدٍ مِنْكُمْ طَعَامٌ ؟ فَإِذَا مَعَ رَجُلٍ صَاعٌ مِنْ طَعَامٍ ، أَوْ نَحْوُهُ ، فَعُجِنَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مُشْرِكٌ مُشْعَانٌّ طَوِيلٌ بِغَنَمٍ يَسُوقُهَا ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَبَيْعٌ أَمْ عَطِيَّةٌ ؟ ، أَوْ قَالَ : أَمْ هِبَةٌ ؟ فَقَالَ : لاَ بَلْ بَيْعٌ ، فَاشْتَرَى مِنْهُ شَاةً ، فَصُنِعَتْ وَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِسَوَادِ الْبَطْنِ أَنْ يُشْوَى ، قَالَ : وَايْمُ اللهِ ، مَا مِنَ الثَّلاَثِينَ وَمِئَةٍ إِلاَّ حَزَّ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حُزَّةً حُزَّةً مِنْ سَوَادِ بَطْنِهَا ، إِنْ كَانَ شَاهِدًا أَعْطَاهُ ، وَإِنْ كَانَ غَائِبًا خَبَأَ لَهُ.قَالَ: وَجَعَلَ قَصْعَتَيْنِ فَأَكَلْنَا مِنْهُمَا أَجْمَعُونَ وَشَبِعْنَا ، وَفَضَلَ فِي الْقَصْعَتَيْنِ ، فَحَمَلْتُهُ عَلَى الْبَعِيرِ ، أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ.
