حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ , حَدَّثَنَا صَدَقَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ , حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ جَابِرٍ , حَدَّثَنِي سُلَيْمُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ , عَنْ ابْنَيْ بُسْرٍ السُّلَمِيَّيْنِ , قَالَا : " دَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَوَضَعْنَا تَحْتَهُ قَطِيفَةً , لَنَا صَبَبْنَاهَا لَهُ صَبًّا , فَجَلَسَ عَلَيْهَا ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَيْهِ الْوَحْيَ فِي بَيْتِنَا ، وَقَدَّمْنَا لَهُ زُبْدًا وَتَمْرًا , وَكَانَ يُحِبُّ الزُّبْدَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " .
´It was narrated that the two sons of Busr, who were of the tribe of Sulaim, said:` “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) entered upon us. We placed a velvet cloth of ours beneath him and sprinkled water on it.* He sat on it, and Allah sent down Revelation to him in our house. We offered him butter and dates, and he (ﷺ) liked butter.”
Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊
A scholar or a prominent person should remain directly informed about the conditions of his companions.
➋
Informal relations between a superior and subordinates are permissible, provided that one refrains from deriving unlawful benefits from them.
➌
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) did not give importance to formalities; therefore, when a sheet was spread on the ground, he (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) sat upon it without requesting a cot, nor did he trouble himself to have the sheet spread out in a beautiful manner.
➍
Butter is an excellent and nourishing food, and dates are also a good food.
By eating both together, their benefit is increased.
➎
Abstaining from good food is not asceticism (zuhd); rather, true zuhd is to avoid unlawful sustenance and to refrain from pride and arrogance.
➏
The Noble Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) mostly consumed simple food.
If something of high quality was available, he (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) would partake of it as well.
The true virtue is not to be greedy for fine things.
