وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ : بَيْنَمَا رَجُلٌ وَامْرَأَةٌ لَهُ فِي السَّلَفِ الْخَالِي ، لَا يَقْدِرُ عَلَى شَيْءٍ ، فَجَاءَ الرَّجُلُ مِنْ سَفَرِهِ فَدَخَلَ عَلَى امْرَأَتِهِ جَائِعًا ، قَدْ أَصَابَتْهُ مَسْغَبَةٌ شَدِيدَةٌ ، فَقَالَ لِامْرَأَتِهِ : عِنْدَكَ شَيْءٌ ؟ قَالَتْ : أَبْشِرْ قَدْ أَتَاكَ رِزْقُ اللَّهِ ، فَاسْتَحَثَّهَا وَقَالَ : ابْتَغِي وَيْحَكِ ، إِنْ كَانَ عِنْدَكِ شَيْءٌ ، فَقَالَتْ : نَعَمْ . هُنَيْهَةً نَرْجُو رَحْمَةَ اللَّهِ ، حَتَّى إِذَا طَالَ عَلَيْهِ الطَّوْلُ قَالَ : وَيْحَكِ قُومِي ، فَابْتَغِي إِنْ كَانَ عِنْدَكِ خُبْزٌ فَائْتِينِي بِهِ ; فَإِنِّي قَدْ أَبْلَغْتُ وَجَهِدْتُ ، قَدْ أَبْلَغْتُ وَجَهِدْتُ ، فَقَالَتْ : نَعَمْ . الْآنَ نَنْضَحُ التَّنُّورَ فَلَا تَعْجَلْ ، فَلَمَّا أَنْ سَكَتَ عَنْهَا [ سَاعَةً ] وَتَحَيَّنَتْ أَيْضًا أَنْ يَقُولَ [ لَهَا ] : قَالَتْ هِيَ مِنْ عِنْدِ نَفْسِهَا : لَوْ قُمْتُ فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَى تَنُّورِي ، فَقَامَتْ فَوَجَدَتْ تَنُّورَهَا مَلْآنَ جُنُوبَ الْغَنَمِ ، وَرَحْيَتُهَا تَطْحَنُ ، فَقَامَتْ إِلَى الرَّحَى فَنَقَضَتْهَا ، وَاسْتَجَرَتْ مَا فِي التَّنُّورِ مِنْ جُنُوبِ الْغَنَمِ .
فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ : وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ أَبِي الْقَاسِمِ بِيَدِهِ ، عَنْ قَوْلِ مُحَمَّدٍ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " لَوْ أَخَذَتْ مَا فِي رَحْيَتِهَا وَلَمْ نَنْقُضْهَا لَطَحَنَتْ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ " . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَرِجَالُهُ وُثِّقُوا .

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) relates: In bygone times there was a man and his wife who had nothing (to eat). The man came back from a journey; he came to his wife hungry, suffering from severe hunger, and asked his wife: Do you have anything? The woman replied: Yes! Receive the glad tidings that Allah Almighty has given you provision. The man said: Woe to you! If you have anything, bring it to me! The woman said: Very well, (wait) a little while; we hope for Allah's mercy. When a long time had passed, the man said: Woe to you! Get up, and if there is bread, bring it to me, for severe hunger has overcome me. The woman said: Very well, I have just lit the oven; do not be in a hurry. When the man had said nothing to the woman for a while, and the time came when he would say something to her, the woman thought: It would be fitting if I got up and checked my oven. She got up and found her oven full of the meat of goats' sides, and the woman's hand mill was grinding flour. She went to the mill and stopped it, and took the goats' side meat out of the oven. Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: By the One in whose Hand is the soul of Sayyiduna Abu al-Qasim (peace and blessings be upon him), the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Had that woman not stopped the mill, the mill would have kept grinding flour until the Day of Resurrection."
