Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 1471 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ ، قَالَ : نَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ السَّكَنِ قَالَ : نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَهْضَمٍ قَالَ : نَا إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ . عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- نَزَلَ مِنْ غَزْوَةٍ غَزَاهَا ، فَأَصَابَ أَصْحَابَ النَّبِيِّ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- جُوعٌ ، وَنَفَدَتْ أَزْوَادُهُمْ ، فَجَاءُوا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- يَشْكُونَ إِلَيْهِ مَا أَصَابَهُمْ ، وَيَسْتَأْذِنُونَهُ فِي أَنْ يَنْحَرُوا بَعْضَ رَوَاحِلِهُمْ ، فَأَذِنَ لَهُمْ ، فَخَرَجُوا ، فَمَرُّوا بِعُمَرَ ، فَقَالَ : مِنْ أَيْنَ جِئْتُمْ ؟ فَأَخْبَرُوهُ أَنَّهُمُ اسْتَأْذَنُوا رَسُولَ اللهِ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- أَنْ يَنْحَرُوا بَعْضَ إِبِلِهِمْ . قَالَ : فَأَذِنَ لَكُمْ ؟ قَالُوا : نَعَمْ . قَالَ : فَإِنِّي أُقْسِمُ عَلَيْكُمْ لَمَا رَجَعْتُمْ مَعِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- ، فَرَجَعُوا مَعَهُ ، فَذَهَبَ عُمَرُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، أَتَأْذَنُ لَهُمْ أَنْ يَنْحَرُوا رَوَاحِلَهُمْ ، فَمَاذَا يَرْكَبُونَ ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- : I " فَمَاذَا أَصْنَعُ ؟ لَيْسَ مَعِي مَا أُعْطِيهِمْ I " ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، تَأْمُرُ مَنْ كَانَ مَعَهُ فَضْلُ زَادٍ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ بِهِ ، فَتَجْمَعُهُ عَلَى شَيْءٍ ، ثُمَّ تَدْعُو فِيهِ ، ثُمَّ تَقْسِمُهُ بَيْنَهُمْ . فَفَعَلَ ، فَدَعَاهُمْ بِفَضْلِ أَزْوَادِهِمْ ، فَمِنْهُمُ الْآتِي بِالْقَلِيلِ ، وَالْآتِي بِالْكَثِيرِ ، فَجَعَلَهُ فِي شَيْءٍ ، ثُمَّ دَعَا فِيهِ بِمَا شَاءَ اللهُ أَنْ يَدْعُوَ ، ثُمَّ قَسَمَهُ بَيْنَهُمْ ، فَمَا بَقِيَ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا مَلَأَ مَا كَانَ مَعَهُ مِنْ وِعَاءٍ ، وَفَضَلَ فَضْلٌ ، فَقَالَ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ : أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ ، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ ، مَنْ جَاءَ بِهَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ غَيْرَ شَاكٍّ أَدْخَلَهُ اللهُ الْجَنَّةَ . I " لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ إِلَّا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ وَعَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ ، وَلَا رَوَاهُ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ إِلَّا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَهْضَمٍ I " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) returned from a military expedition, and severe hunger overtook the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and their provisions ran out. They came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), complained to him of their hardship, and asked permission to slaughter some of their riding animals, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave them permission. They went out from there and passed by Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), and he asked: "Where are you coming from?" They told him that they had asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for permission to slaughter some of their camels. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: "Has he (peace and blessings be upon him) given you permission?" They said: "Yes." He said: "I adjure you to come back with me to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." So they came back with him. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah, have you given them permission to slaughter their riding animals? Then what will they ride?" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then what shall I do? I have nothing to give them (to eat)." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Indeed (there is a way), O Messenger of Allah! Order that whoever has provisions beyond his need should bring them, then gather them on something, then supplicate for blessing in it, then distribute it among them."
He (peace and blessings be upon him) did just that and called on them to bring their leftover provisions; some of them brought a little and some brought a lot. He (peace and blessings be upon him) gathered it in one place, then made over it the supplication that Allah willed him to make. Then he distributed it among the people, and not a single one of them remained who had not filled his vessel, and even after that food was left over. On that occasion he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Ashhadu an la ilaha illa Allah wahdahu la sharika lahu, wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan abduhu wa rasuluh' (I bear witness that there is no god worthy of worship except Allah, alone, without partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is His servant and His Messenger); "Whoever comes with these words on the Day of Resurrection without having any doubt about them, Allah will admit him into Paradise."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Suhayl except Isma'il bin Ja'far and Abd al-Aziz bin Abi Hazim, and no one narrated it from Isma'il bin Ja'far except Muhammad bin Jahdam."
