حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ أَبِي خَالِدٍ الدَّالَانِيِّ ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : " صَنَعَ أَبُو الْهَيْثَمِ بْنُ التَّيْهَانِ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ طَعَامًا ، فَدَعَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَصْحَابَهُ ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغُوا ، قَالَ : أَثِيبُوا أَخَاكُمْ ، قَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، وَمَا إِثَابَتُهُ ؟ ، قَالَ : إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ إِذَا دُخِلَ بَيْتُهُ ، فَأُكِلَ طَعَامُهُ وَشُرِبَ شَرَابُهُ ، فَدَعَوْا لَهُ فَذَلِكَ إِثَابَتُهُ " .
Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah: AbulHaytham ibn at-Tayhan prepared food for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he invited the Prophet ﷺ and his Companions. When they finished (food), the said: If some people enter the house of a man, his food is eaten and his drink is drunk, and they supplicate (to Allah) for him, this is his reward.
