Hadith 11315

عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْتَطْعِمُهُ فَأَطْمَعَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَسْقَ شَعِيرٍ فَمَا زَالَ الرَّجُلُ يَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ هُوَ وَامْرَأَتُهُ وَوَصِيفٌ لَهُمْ حَتَّى كَالُوهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”لَوْ لَمْ تَكِيلُوهُ لَأَكَلْتُمْ مِنْهُ وَلَقَامَ لَكُمْ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the service of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and requested food from him. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him a wasq (i.e., sixty sa’) of barley. For a long time, that man, his wife, and their son kept eating from it. Eventually, they measured it, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If you had not measured it, you would have continued eating from it and it would have remained with you.
