اُردوEn
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ دَخَلَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ فَلَمَّا رَأَى مَا بِهِمْ مِنَ الْحَاجَةِ خَرَجَ إِلَى الْبَرِيَّةِ فَلَمَّا رَأَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ قَامَتْ إِلَى الرَّحَى فَوَضَعَتْهَا وَإِلَى التَّنُّورِ فَسَجَرَتْهُ ثُمَّ قَالَتْ اللَّهُمَّ ارْزُقْنَا فَنَظَرَتْ فَإِذَا الْجَفْنَةُ قَدِ امْتَلَأَتْ قَالَ وَذَهَبَتْ إِلَى التَّنُّورِ فَوَجَدَتْهُ مُمْتَلِئًا قَالَ فَرَجَعَ الزَّوْجُ قَالَ أَصَبْتُمْ بَعْدِي شَيْئًا قَالَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ نَعَمْ مِنْ رَبِّنَا قَامَ إِلَى الرَّحَى فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ ((أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَوْ لَمْ يَرْفَعْهَا لَمْ تَزَلْ تَدُورُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ)) قَالَ شَهِدْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ ((وَاللَّهِ لَأَنْ يَأْتِيَ أَحَدُكُمْ صَيْرًا ثُمَّ يَحْمِلُهُ يَبِيعُهُ فَيَسْتَعِفَّ مِنْهُ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ رَجُلًا يَسْأَلَهُ))
(Narration from another chain) The narrator says: A man came to his family, and when he saw their need, he went out towards other creation. When his wife saw this situation, she went to the millstone and set it right, then went to the oven and lit it, and then said: O Allah! Provide for us. Then she saw that the tub was filled, and when she looked at the oven, it too was filled. When the husband returned, he asked: Has anything come after I left? His wife said: Yes, a lot has come from Allah Almighty. Then he went to the millstone and... When this matter was mentioned to the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, he said: If he had not lifted it, it would have kept running until the Day of Resurrection. I was present with the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, when he said: By Allah! If any one of you were to gather firewood and bring it, and sell it to avoid asking (begging), this act would be better for him than going to someone and asking him for something.
