Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 14124

وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ : أَخْطَأَنِي الْعَشَاءُ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَأَخْطَأَنِي أَنْ يَدْعُوَنِي أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا ، فَصَلَّيْتُ الْعِشَاءَ ثُمَّ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَنَامَ فَلَمْ أَقْدِرْ ، ثُمَّ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ فَلَمْ أَقْدِرْ ، فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ عِنْدَ حُجْرَةِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَإِذَا هُوَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يُصَلِّي ، فَصَلَّى ثُمَّ اسْتَنَدَ إِلَى السَّارِيَةِ الَّتِي كَانَ يُصَلِّي إِلَيْهَا فَقَالَ : " مَنْ هَذَا ؟ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ ؟ " . قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ . قَالَ : " أَخَطَأَكَ الْعَشَاءُ مَعَنَا اللَّيْلَةَ ؟ " . قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ . قَالَ : " انْطَلِقْ إِلَى الْمَنْزِلِ فَقُلْ : هَلُمُّوا الطَّعَامَ الَّذِي عِنْدَكُمْ " . فَأَعْطَوْنِي صَحْفَةً فِيهَا عَصِيدَةٌ بِتَمْرٍ ، فَأَتَيْتُ بِهَا النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَوَضَعْتُهَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَقَالَ : " ادْعُ أَهْلَ الْمَسْجِدِ " . فَقُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي : الْوَيْلُ لِي مِمَّا أَرَى مِنْ قِلَّةِ الطَّعَامِ ، وَالْوَيْلُ لِي مِنَ الْمَعْصِيَةِ ، فَآتِي الرَّجُلَ وَهُوَ نَائِمٌ فَأُوقِظُهُ وَأَقُولُ : أَجِبْ ، وَآتِي الرَّجُلَ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فَأَقُولُ : أَجِبْ حَتَّى اجْتَمَعُوا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَوَضَعَ أَصَابِعَهُ فِيهَا وَغَمَزَ نَوَاحِيَهَا وَقَالَ : " كُلُوا بِسْمِ اللَّهِ " . فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا ، وَأَكَلْتُ حَتَّى شَبِعْتُ ، قَالَ : " خُذْهَا يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ فَارْدُدْهَا إِلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، فَمَا فِي آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ طَعَامٌ يَأْكُلُهُ ذُو كَبِدٍ غَيْرُ هَذِهِ ، أَهْدَاهَا إِلَيْنَا رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ " . فَأَخَذْتُ الصَّحْفَةَ فَرَفَعْتُهَا ، فَإِذَا هِيَ كَهَيْئَتِهَا حِينَ وَضَعْتُهَا إِلَّا أَنَّ فِيهَا آثَارَ أَصَابِعِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ ، وَرِجَالُهُ ثِقَاتٌ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him): One night I missed dinner with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and it also did not happen that any of my companions invited me. I prayed the Isha prayer, then I intended to sleep, but I could not sleep; then I intended to offer voluntary prayer, but I could not do that either. There I saw a man near the chamber of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). I came to him, and it was the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who was praying. He prayed, then he leaned against the pillar towards which he used to pray, and he said: "Who is this? Is it Abu Hurayrah?" I said: "Yes!" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Did you miss dinner with us tonight?" I said: "Yes!" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go home and say: 'Give the food that you have.'" So they gave me a bowl in which there was 'asidah (a thick porridge) made with dates. I brought it to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and placed it in front of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Call the people who are in the mosque." I thought to myself: woe to me, because the food was little, and woe to me also if I disobey the command of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). So I came to a man who was asleep; I woke him and said to him: "Answer the invitation." Then I came to another man who was praying, and I said: "Answer the invitation," until they gathered with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) placed his fingers in that food and pressed its sides, then he said: "Begin eating with the name of Allah." They ate until they were full, and I also ate until I too was full. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Abu Hurayrah! Take it and return it to the family of Muhammad, for the family of Muhammad has no food other than this that any living being could eat; this food too was sent to us as a gift by a man from the Ansar." The narrator says: So I took the bowl and lifted it, and it was just as it had been when I placed it, except that there were the marks of the fingers of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in it.
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
