Hadith #29462
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، 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 وَأَطْفِئِي السِّرَاجَ وَقَرِّبِي لِلضَّيْفِ مَا عِنْدَكِ فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُُ : ( ويؤْثِرُونَ عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَلَوْ كَانَ بِهِمْ خَصَاصَةٌ ) هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ .
Abu Kurayb told us, Waki` told us, on the authority of Fudayl ibn Ghazwan, on the authority of Abu Hazim, on the authority of Abu Hurairah, that a man, from the Ansar, spent the night with him. There was a guest, and he had nothing but his own sustenance and that of his two children. So he said to his wife, “Put the little girl to sleep, put out the lamp, and offer to the guest what you have.” Then this verse was revealed: (And they give preference to themselves, even if they are in poverty.) This is a good and authentic hadith.
