Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 14115

Sayyiduna Dukayn bin Sa'id al-Khath'ami (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: We came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); we were four hundred and forty people, and we asked him for food. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him): "Get up and give to them." He said: "O Messenger of Allah, I only have enough dates to suffice me and the children for some time." The narrator Waki' says: In the idiom of the Arabs, the word "qayz" means four months. The narrator says: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Get up and give to them." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Messenger of Allah! I obey your command." The narrator says: Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) got up and we got up with him. He took us up to his upper room, took a key out from his side, and opened the door. Sayyiduna Dukayn (may Allah be pleased with him) says: In that room there were dates like a young camel. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Take!" The narrator says: Each one of us took as many dates as he wished, according to his need. The narrator says: When I looked, I was among the last of those people to take, and it was as though we had not reduced those dates at all. (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: Imam Abu Dawud recorded a part of this narration.
Ahmad and al-Tabarani recorded it, and the narrators of both of them are the narrators of the Sahih.
