Hadith 3729

حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ خُمَيرٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُسْرٍ مَنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ ، قَالَ : " جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى أَبِي فَنَزَلَ عَلَيْهِ ، فَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ طَعَامًا ، فَذَكَرَ حَيْسًا أَتَاهُ بِهِ ، ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ بِشَرَابٍ ، فَشَرِبَ فَنَاوَلَ مَنْ عَلَى يَمِينِهِ ، وَأَكَلَ تَمْرًا ، فَجَعَلَ يُلْقِي النَّوَى عَلَى ظَهْرِ أُصْبَعَيْهِ السَّبَّابَةُ وَالْوُسْطَى ، فَلَمَّا قَامَ قَامَ أَبِي فَأَخَذَ بِلِجَامِ دَابَّتِهِ ، فَقَالَ : ادْعُ اللَّهَ لِي ، فَقَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَهُمْ فِيمَا رَزَقْتَهُمْ ، وَاغْفِرْ لَهُمْ وَارْحَمْهُمْ ".
Abdullah bin Busr from Banu Sulaim said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to my father and he was a guest with him. He offered food to him and brought hais. He then brought a drink which he drank and he gave it to the one on his right. He ate dried dates and began to put the kernels on the back of his ring finger and middle finger. When he got up, my father also got up, and held the rein of his mount. He said: Pray to Allah for me. He said: O Allah, bless them in what you provided them, and have mercy on them.

Benefits and Issues:

It is clear from this hadith that the Noble Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) did not put the eaten date pits back into the same vessel.
Rather, he kept them separate because refined natures find such things very unpleasant.
In the same way, breathing into a water vessel is also disliked by others.


After drinking a beverage, he (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) gave it to the one on his right.


Honoring a person of virtue, just as the host honored the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), is a commendable act.


A host may request his guest to make supplication (du'a) for him.


Making supplication (du'a) after eating is Sunnah.
And it is best to make the very supplication that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) made.
