اُردوEn
عَنْ ضَرَارِ بْنِ الْأَزْوَرِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ أَهْدَيْنَا لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ لِقْحَةً (وَفِي رَوَايَةٍ بَعَثَنِي أَهْلِي بِلُقُوحٍ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَحْلُبَهَا) قَالَ فَحَلَبْتُهَا قَالَ فَلَمَّا أَخَذْتُ لِأُجْهِدَهَا قَالَ لَا تَفْعَلْ دَعْ دَاعِيَ اللَّبَنِ
Sayyiduna Dhirar bin Azwar (may Allah be pleased with him) says: We presented a milch she-camel to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) as a gift. In another narration, it is stated: Some members of my family sent me with milch she-camels to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed me to milk them, so I milked them. When I tried, with effort, to extract all the milk, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do not do it like this; rather, leave the milk that causes (more) milk to be produced (in the udders).
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Shaykh al-Albani rahimahullah explained the meaning of the last words of this hadith as follows: The one who milks should leave some amount of milk remaining in the udders and should not squeeze them completely, because the milk that remains in the udders after milking will become a cause for more milk to descend, and if the udders are completely squeezed, then the previous milk will descend only after a considerable delay. (Sahihah: 1860)
