وَعَن عبدِ الله بن أبي الحَسْماءِ قَالَ: بَايَعْتُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُبْعَثَ وَبَقِيَتْ لَهُ بَقِيَّةٌ فَوَعَدْتُهُ أَنْ آتِيَهُ بِهَا فِي مَكَانِهِ فَنَسِيتُ فَذَكَرْتُ بَعْدَ ثَلَاثٍ فَإِذَا هُوَ فِي مَكَانِهِ فَقَالَ: «لَقَدْ شَقَقْتَ عَلَيَّ أَنَا هَهُنَا مُنْذُ ثَلَاثٍ أنتظرك» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد
Abdullah bin Abi Hamsa (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Before the declaration of Prophethood, I bought something from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and there was some payment left that I owed him. I promised to bring the remaining amount to him at that same place, but I forgot. After three days, I remembered (and went), and he was still at that place. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You put me through hardship; I have been waiting for you here for three days." Its chain is weak. Narrated by Abu Dawood.
