عَنْ شُرَحْبِيلَ عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ أُهْدِيَتْ لَهُ شَاةٌ فَجَعَلَهَا فِي الْقِدْرِ فَدَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ مَا هَذَا يَا أَبَا رَافِعٍ فَقَالَ شَاةٌ أُهْدِيَتْ لَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَطَبَخْتُهَا فِي الْقِدْرِ فَقَالَ نَاوِلْنِي الذِّرَاعَ يَا أَبَا رَافِعٍ فَنَاوَلْتُهُ الذِّرَاعَ ثُمَّ قَالَ نَاوِلْنِي الذِّرَاعَ الْآخَرَ فَنَاوَلْتُهُ الذِّرَاعَ الْآخَرَ ثُمَّ قَالَ نَاوِلْنِي الذِّرَاعَ الْآخَرَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّمَا لِلشَّاةِ ذِرَاعَانِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَوْ سَكَتَّ لَنَاوَلْتَنِي ذِرَاعًا فَذِرَاعًا مَا سَكَتَّ ثُمَّ دَعَا بِمَاءٍ فَمَضْمَضَ فَاهُ وَغَسَلَ أَطْرَافَ أَصَابِعِهِ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَصَلَّى ثُمَّ عَادَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَوَجَدَ عِنْدَهُمْ لَحْمًا بَارِدًا فَأَكَلَ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَصَلَّى وَلَمْ يَمَسَّ مَاءً
Mawla of the Messenger, Sayyiduna Abu Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: He says, I was given a gift of a goat. I slaughtered it and put its meat in a pot to cook. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: O Abu Rafi’! Hand me its foreleg. So I handed it to him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) then said: Hand me its other foreleg as well. I handed him the other foreleg. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) then said: Give me another foreleg. I said: O Messenger of Allah! A goat has only two forelegs. Hearing this, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: If you had remained silent, you would have continued handing me forelegs as long as you remained silent. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) called for water, rinsed his blessed mouth with it, washed his fingers, then stood up and performed prayer. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) returned and found cold meat with us. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) ate from it, then entered the mosque and performed another prayer, and did not touch water with his hand.
