وَعَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَصَابَنِي جَهْدٌ شَدِيدٌ فَلَقِيتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، فَاسْتَقْرَأْتُهُ آيَةً مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ، فَدَخَلَ دَارَهُ وَفَتَحَهَا عَلَىَّ، فَمَشَيْتُ غَيْرَ بَعِيدٍ، فَخَرَرْتُ لِوَجْهِي مِنَ الْجَهْدِ وَالْجُوعِ فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَائِمٌ عَلَى رَأْسِي فَقَالَ " يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ". فَقُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَسَعْدَيْكَ. فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي فَأَقَامَنِي، وَعَرَفَ الَّذِي بِي، فَانْطَلَقَ بِي إِلَى رَحْلِهِ، فَأَمَرَ لِي بِعُسٍّ مِنْ لَبَنٍ فَشَرِبْتُ مِنْهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ " عُدْ يَا أَبَا هِرٍّ ". فَعُدْتُ فَشَرِبْتُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ " عُدْ ". فَعُدْتُ فَشَرِبْتُ حَتَّى اسْتَوَى بَطْنِي فَصَارَ كَالْقِدْحِ ـ قَالَ ـ فَلَقِيتُ عُمَرَ وَذَكَرْتُ لَهُ الَّذِي كَانَ مِنْ أَمْرِي وَقُلْتُ لَهُ تَوَلَّى اللَّهُ ذَلِكَ مَنْ كَانَ أَحَقَّ بِهِ مِنْكَ يَا عُمَرُ، وَاللَّهِ لَقَدِ اسْتَقْرَأْتُكَ الآيَةَ وَلأَنَا أَقْرَأُ لَهَا مِنْكَ. قَالَ عُمَرُ وَاللَّهِ لأَنْ أَكُونَ أَدْخَلْتُكَ أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ مِنْ أَنْ يَكُونَ لِي مِثْلُ حُمْرِ النَّعَمِ.
Once while I was in a state of fatigue (because of severe hunger), I
met 'Umar bin Al-Khattab, so I asked him to recite a verse from
Allah's Book to me. He entered his house and interpreted it to me.
(Then I went out and) after walking for a short distance, I fell on my
face because of fatigue and severe hunger. Suddenly I saw Allah's
Apostle standing by my head. He said, "O Abu Huraira!" I replied,
"Labbaik, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), and Sadaik!" Then he held me by the hand,
and made me get up. Then he came to know what I was suffering from. He
took me to his house, and ordered a big bowl of milk for me. I drank
thereof and he said, "Drink more, O Abu Hirr!" So I drank again,
whereupon he again said, "Drink more." So I drank more till my belly
became full and looked like a bowl. Afterwards I met 'Umar and
mentioned to him what had happened to me, and said to him, "Somebody,
who had more right than you, O 'Umar, took over the case. By Allah, I
asked you to recite a Verse to me while I knew it better than you." On
that Umar said to me, "By Allah, if I admitted and entertained you, it
would have been dearer to me than having nice red camels.

I was a boy under the care of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and my hand used to go around the dish while I was
eating. So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to me, 'O boy! Mention the Name of Allah and eat with your right
hand, and eat of the dish what is nearer to you." Since then I have applied those instructions when
eating.

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، يَقُولُ قَالَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ لأُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ لَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ صَوْتَ، رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ضَعِيفًا أَعْرِفُ فِيهِ الْجُوعَ، فَهَلْ عِنْدَكِ مِنْ شَىْءٍ فَأَخْرَجَتْ أَقْرَاصًا مِنْ شَعِيرٍ، ثُمَّ أَخْرَجَتْ خِمَارًا لَهَا فَلَفَّتِ الْخُبْزَ بِبَعْضِهِ، ثُمَّ دَسَّتْهُ تَحْتَ ثَوْبِي وَرَدَّتْنِي بِبَعْضِهِ، ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَتْنِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ فَذَهَبْتُ بِهِ فَوَجَدْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَمَعَهُ النَّاسُ، فَقُمْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " أَرْسَلَكَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ ". فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ. قَالَ " بِطَعَامٍ ". قَالَ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لِمَنْ مَعَهُ " قُومُوا ". فَانْطَلَقَ وَانْطَلَقْتُ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ حَتَّى جِئْتُ أَبَا طَلْحَةَ، فَقَالَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ يَا أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ قَدْ جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِالنَّاسِ، وَلَيْسَ عِنْدَنَا مِنَ الطَّعَامِ مَا نُطْعِمُهُمْ. فَقَالَتِ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ. قَالَ فَانْطَلَقَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ حَتَّى لَقِيَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَقْبَلَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حَتَّى دَخَلاَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " هَلُمِّي يَا أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ مَا عِنْدَكِ ". فَأَتَتْ بِذَلِكَ الْخُبْزِ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ فَفُتَّ وَعَصَرَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ عُكَّةً لَهَا فَأَدَمَتْهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ فِيهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَقُولَ ثُمَّ قَالَ " ائْذَنْ لِعَشَرَةٍ ". فَأَذِنَ لَهُمْ، فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا، ثُمَّ خَرَجُوا، ثُمَّ قَالَ " ائْذَنْ لِعَشَرَةٍ ". فَأَذِنَ لَهُمْ فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا، ثُمَّ خَرَجُوا، ثُمَّ قَالَ " ائْذَنْ لِعَشَرَةٍ ". فَأَذِنَ لَهُمْ فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا ثُمَّ خَرَجُوا، ثُمَّ أَذِنَ لِعَشَرَةٍ، فَأَكَلَ الْقَوْمُ كُلُّهُمْ وَشَبِعُوا، وَالْقَوْمُ ثَمَانُونَ رَجُلاً.
Abu Talha said to Um Sulaim, "I have heard the voice of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) which was feeble, and I
think that he is hungry. Have you got something (to eat)?" She took out some loaves of barley bread,
then took her face-covering sheet and wrapped the bread in part of it, and pushed it under my garment
and turned the rest of it around my body and sent me to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . I went with that, and found
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in the mosque with some people. I stood up near them, and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) asked me,
"Have you been sent by Abu Talha?" I said, "Yes." He asked, "With some food (for us)?" I said,
"Yes." Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to all those who were with him, "Get up!" He set out (and all the
people accompanied him) and I proceeded ahead of them till I came to Abu Talha. Abu Talha then
said, "O Um Sulaim! Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) has arrived along with the people, and we do not have food
enough to feed them all." She said, "Allah and His Apostle know better." So Abu Talha went out till
he met Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). Then Abu Talha and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came and entered the house. Allah's
Apostle said, "Um Sulaim ! Bring whatever you have." She brought that very bread. The Prophet (ﷺ)
ordered that it be crushed into small pieces, and Um Sulaim pressed a skin of butter on it. Then Allah's
Apostle said whatever Allah wished him to say (to bless the food) and then added, "Admit ten (men)."
So they were admitted, ate their fill and went out. The Prophet (ﷺ) then said, "Admit ten (more)." They
were admitted, ate their full, and went out. He then again said, "Admit ten more!" They were
admitted, ate their fill, and went out. He admitted ten more, and so all those people ate their fill, and
they were eighty men.

حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ وَحَدَّثَ أَبُو عُثْمَانَ، أَيْضًا عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ثَلاَثِينَ وَمِائَةً، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " هَلْ مَعَ أَحَدٍ مِنْكُمْ طَعَامٌ ". فَإِذَا مَعَ رَجُلٍ صَاعٌ مِنْ طَعَامٍ أَوْ نَحْوُهُ، فَعُجِنَ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مُشْرِكٌ مُشْعَانٌّ طَوِيلٌ بِغَنَمٍ يَسُوقُهَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " أَبَيْعٌ أَمْ عَطِيَّةٌ أَوْ ـ قَالَ ـ هِبَةٌ ". قَالَ لاَ بَلْ بَيْعٌ. قَالَ فَاشْتَرَى مِنْهُ شَاةً فَصُنِعَتْ، فَأَمَرَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِسَوَادِ الْبَطْنِ يُشْوَى، وَايْمُ اللَّهِ مَا مِنَ الثَّلاَثِينَ وَمِائَةٍ إِلاَّ قَدْ حَزَّ لَهُ حُزَّةً مِنْ سَوَادِ بَطْنِهَا، إِنْ كَانَ شَاهِدًا أَعْطَاهَا إِيَّاهُ، وَإِنْ كَانَ غَائِبًا خَبَأَهَا لَهُ، ثُمَّ جَعَلَ فِيهَا قَصْعَتَيْنِ فَأَكَلْنَا أَجْمَعُونَ وَشَبِعْنَا، وَفَضَلَ فِي الْقَصْعَتَيْنِ، فَحَمَلْتُهُ عَلَى الْبَعِيرِ. أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ.
We were one hundred and thirty men sitting with the Prophet. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Have anyone of you
any food with him?" It happened that one man had one Sa of wheat flour (or so) which was turned
into dough then. After a while a tall lanky pagan came, driving some sheep. The Prophet (ﷺ) asked, 'Will
you sell us (a sheep), or give (it to) us as a gift?" The pagan said, "No, but I will sell it " So the
Prophet bought from him a sheep which was slaughtered, and then the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered that the liver,
the kidneys, lungs and heart, etc., of that sheep be roasted. By Allah, none of those one hundred and
thirty men but had his share of those things. The Prophet (ﷺ) gave to those who were present, and also
kept a share for those who were absent He then served that cooked sheep in two big trays and we all
ate together our fill; yet there remained a part of it in those two trays which I carried on the camel.

We went out with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to Khaibar, and when we were at As-Sahba', (Yahya, a sub-narrator
said, "As-Sahba' is a place at a distance of one day's journey to Khaibar)." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) asked the
people to bring their food, but there was nothing with the people except Sawiq. So we all chewed and
ate of it. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) asked for some water and he rinsed his mouth, and we too, rinsed our
mouths. Then he led us in the Maghrib prayer without performing ablution (again).

container."

found with her a roasted mastigure which her sister Hufaida bint Al-Harith had brought from Najd.
Maimuna presented the mastigure before Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) who rarely started eating any (unfamiliar)
food before it was described and named for him. (But that time) Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) stretched his hand
towards the (meat of the) mastigure whereupon a lady from among those who were present, said,
"You should inform Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) of what you have presented to him. O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! It is the
meat of a mastigure." (On learning that) Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) withdrew his hand from the meat of the
mastigure. Khalid bin Al-Walid said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Is this unlawful to eat?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
replied, "No, but it is not found in the land of my people, so I do not like it." Khalid said, "Then I
pulled the mastigure (meat) towards me and ate it while Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was looking at me.

who attended the Badr battle and was from the Ansar, that he came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's
Apostle! I have lost my eyesight and I lead my people in the prayer (as an Imam). When it rains, the
valley which is between me and my people, flows with water, and then I cannot go to their mosque to
lead them in the prayer. O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I wish that you could come and pray in my house so that I
may take it as a praying place. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah willing, I will do that." The next morning,
soon after the sun had risen, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came with Abu Bakr. The Prophet (ﷺ) asked for the
permission to enter and I admitted him. The Prophet (ﷺ) had not sat till he had entered the house and said
to me, "Where do you like me to pray in your house?" I pointed at a place in my house whereupon he
stood and said, "Allahu Akbar." We lined behind him and he prayed two rak`at and finished it with
Taslim. We then requested him to stay for a special meal of Khazira which we had prepared. A large
number of men from the adjoining area gathered in the house. One of them said, "Where is Malik bin
Ad-Dukhshun?" Another man said, "He is a hypocrite and does not love Allah and His Apostle." The
Prophet said, "Do not say so. Do you not think that he has said: "None has the right to be worshipped
but Allah," seeking Allah's pleasure? The man said, "Allah and His Apostle know better, but we have
always seen him mixing with hypocrites and giving them advice." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah has
forbidden the (Hell) Fire for those who testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah,
seeking Allah's pleasure. "

We used to be happy on Fridays, for there was an old lady who used to pull out the roots of Silq and
put it in a cooking pot with some barley. When we had finished the prayer, we would visit her and she
would present that dish before us. So we used to be happy on Fridays because of that, and we never
used to take our meals or have a mid-day nap except after the Friday prayer. By Allah, that meal
