(وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا) قَالَ جَاءَ أَبُو حُمَيْدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ بِإِنَاءٍ مِنْ لَبَنٍ نَهَارًا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ بِالْبَقِيعِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَلَا خَمَّرْتَهُ وَلَوْ أَنْ تَعْرُضَ عَلَيْهِ عُودًا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that one day Sayyiduna Abu Humayd Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) brought a vessel of milk to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was in Baqi’. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Why did you not cover it? You should have covered it, even if only by placing a stick over it.
