Majma al-Zawaid 7969 — The believer eats with one intestine

وَعَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ بِنْتِ الْحَارِثِ قَالَتْ : أَجْدَبَ النَّاسُ سَنَةً ، وَكَانَتِ الْأَعْرَابُ يَأْتُونَ الْمَدِينَةَ ، وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَأْمُرُ الرَّجُلَ فَيَأْخُذُ بِيَدِ الرَّجُلِ فَيُضِيفُهُ وَيُعَشِّيهِ ، فَجَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ لَيْلَةً وَكَانَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - طَعَامٌ يَسِيرٌ وَشَيْءٌ مِنْ لَبَنٍ فَأَكَلَهُ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ وَلَمْ يَدَعْ لِلنَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - شَيْئًا ، فَجَاءَ بِهِ لَيْلَةً أَوْ لَيْلَتَيْنِ فَجَعَلَ يَأْكُلُهُ كُلَّهُ ، فَقُلْتُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : اللَّهُمَّ لَا تُبَارِكْ فِي هَذَا الْأَعْرَابِيِّ يَأْكُلُ طَعَامَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَيَدَعُهُ . ثُمَّ جَاءَ بِهِ لَيْلَةً فَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ إِلَّا يَسِيرًا . فَقُلْتُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ذَاكَ وَجَاءَ بِهِ وَقَدْ أَسْلَمَ فَقَالَ : " إِنَّ الْكَافِرَ يَأْكُلُ فِي سَبْعَةِ أَمْعَاءٍ ، وَإِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ يَأْكُلُ فِي مِعًى وَاحِدٍ " .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ بِتَمَامِهِ ، وَرَوَى أَحْمَدُ آخِرَهُ ، وَرِجَالُ الطَّبَرَانِيِّ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Sayyidah Maymunah bint al-Harith (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: One year the people were struck by drought, and the Bedouins would come to Madinah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would instruct a man, and he would take another man by the hand, make him his guest and give him supper. One night a Bedouin came. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had a little food and a little milk; the Bedouin ate it and left nothing for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Then he came with him (the Prophet) for a night or two nights, and he would eat everything. I said in the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "O Allah! Do not put blessing in (the food of) this Bedouin, who eats the food of the Messenger of Allah and leaves him (with nothing)." Then one night the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) brought him along, and he ate only a little of the food. I said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "This is the same one who came before." That man had accepted Islam. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The disbeliever eats in seven intestines, and the believer eats in one intestine."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in full, and Ahmad recorded its last part. Al-Tabarani's narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
