Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 17873

وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ : دَخَلَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى مَا بِهِمْ مِنَ الْحَاجَةِ خَرَجَ إِلَى الْبَرِّيَّةِ ، فَلَمَّا رَأَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ قَامَتْ إِلَى الرَّحَا فَوَضَعَتْهَا ، وَإِلَى التَّنُّورِ فَسَجَرَتْهُ ، ثُمَّ قَالَتِ : اللَّهُمَّ ارْزُقْنَا ، فَنَظَرَتْ فَإِذَا الْجَفْنَةُ قَدِ امْتَلَأَتْ . قَالَ : وَذَهَبَتْ إِلَى التَّنُّورِ فَوَجَدَتْهُ مُمْتَلِئًا ، قَالَ : فَرَجَعَ الزَّوْجُ وَقَالَ : أَصَبْتُمْ بَعْدِي شَيْئًا ؟ قَالَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ : نَعَمْ . مِنْ رَبِّنَا ، قَامَ إِلَى الرَّحَا فَرَفَعَهَا ، فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ : " أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَوْ لَمْ يَرْفَعْهَا لَمْ تَزَلْ تَدُورُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ " . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَالْبَزَّارُ ، وَقَالَ : فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ : اللَّهُمَّ ارْزُقْنَا مَا نَطْحَنُ ، وَمَا نَعْجِنُ ، وَنَخْبِزُ ، فَإِذَا الْجَفْنَةُ مَلْأَى خُبْزًا ، وَالرَّحَا تَطْحَنُ ، وَالتَّنُّورَ مَلْأَى جُنُوبَ شِوَاءٍ ، فَجَاءَ زَوْجُهَا فَقَالَ : عِنْدَكُمْ شَيْءٌ ؟ قَالَتْ : رِزْقُ اللَّهِ - أَوْ قَدْ رَزَقَ اللَّهُ - فَرَفَعَ الرَّحَا ، فَكَنَسَ حَوْلَهَا ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " لَوْ تَرَكَهَا لَطَحَنَتْ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ " . وَرَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ بِنَحْوِهِ ، وَرِجَالُهُمْ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ غَيْرَ شَيْخِ الْبَزَّارِ ، وَشَيْخِ الطَّبَرَانِيِّ ، وَهُمَا ثِقَتَانِ .
Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) relates: A man came home, and when he saw the hunger of his family, he went out. When his wife saw this situation, she set up the hand mill, lit the oven, and then said: O Allah, grant us provision! When the woman looked, the bowl was full. The woman went to the oven and found it full as well. The woman's husband came back and asked: Did you get anything after I left? His wife said: Yes, from our Lord. The man went to the hand mill and lifted it (that is, stopped it from turning). Then he mentioned this to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Had this man not lifted it (that is, not stopped it), it would have kept turning until the Day of Resurrection."
Ahmad and al-Bazzar recorded it with these words: "His wife said: O Allah, grant us what we may grind, knead and bake into bread. Then the vessel filled with bread, the mill began grinding flour, and the oven too filled with roasted meat. The woman's husband came and asked: Do you have anything? The woman replied: Allah Almighty has granted provision. The man lifted the mill and swept around it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Had he left it alone, it would have kept grinding until the Day of Resurrection.'"
Al-Tabarani recorded something similar in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, and their narrators are the narrators of the Sahih, except the teachers of al-Bazzar and al-Tabarani, and both of them are thiqah (trustworthy).
