Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 2247 — Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَهْدِيٍّ الْهَرَوِيُّ ، قَالَ : نَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ خَشْرَمٍ قَالَ : نَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ قَالَ : نَا عِكْرِمَةُ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ : خَرَجَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بِالْهَاجِرَةِ ، فَسَمِعَ بِذَلِكَ عُمَرُ ، فَخَرَجَ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِأَبِي بَكْرٍ ، فَقَالَ : يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ ، مَا أَخْرَجَكَ هَذِهِ السَّاعَةَ ؟ قَالَ : وَاللهِ مَا أَجِدُ فِي بَطْنِي مِنْ حَاقِّ الْجُوعِ . قَالَ : وَأَنَا وَاللهِ مَا أَخْرَجَنِي غَيْرُهُ ، فَبَيْنَمَا هُمَا كَذَلِكَ إِذْ خَرَجَ عَلَيْهِمَا النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- فَقَالَ : مَا أَخْرَجَكُمَا فِي هَذِهِ السَّاعَةِ ؟ I " فَقَالَا : أَخْرَجَنَا ، وَاللهِ مَا نَجِدُ فِي بُطُونِنَا مِنْ حَاقِّ الْجُوعِ . فَقَالَ : I " وَأَنَا ، وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ ، مَا أَخْرَجَنِي غَيْرُهُ ، فَقُومَا I " ، فَقَامُوا . فَانْطَلَقُوا حَتَّى أَتَوْا بَابَ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ ، وَكَانَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ يَدَّخِرُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- طَعَامًا كَانَ أَوْ لَبَنًا ، فَأَبْطَأَ يَوْمَئِذٍ فَلَمْ يَأْتِ لِحِينِهِ ، فَأَطْعَمَهُ أَهْلَهُ ، وَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى نَخْلِهِ يَعْمَلُ فِيهِ ، فَلَمَّا أَتَوْا بَابَ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ خَرَجَتِ امْرَأَةٌ ، فَقَالَتْ : مَرْحَبًا بِرَسُولِ اللهِ وَبِمَنْ مَعَهُ ، فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- : I " فَأَيْنَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ ؟ I " قَالَتْ : يَأْتِيكَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ السَّاعَةَ . فَرَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- فَبَصُرَ بِهِ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ وَهُوَ يَعْمَلُ فِي نَخْلٍ لَهُ ، فَجَاءَ يَشْتَدُّ حَتَّى أَدْرَكَ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- فَقَالَ : مَرْحَبًا بِنَبِيِّ اللهِ وَبِمَنْ مَعَهُ . فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، لَيْسَ الْحِينُ الَّذِي كُنْتَ تَجِيئُنِي فِيهِ ، فَرَدَّهُ ، فَجَاءَ إِلَى عِذْقِ النَّخْلِ فَقَطَعَهُ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- : I " مَا أَرَدْتَ إِلَى هَذَا I " ، قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ تَأْكُلَ مِنْ رُطَبِهِ وَبُسْرِهِ وَتَمْرِهِ ، وَلَأَذْبَحَنَّ لَكَ مَعَهَا ، قَالَ : I " إِنْ ذَبَحْتَ فَلَا تَذْبَحَنَّ ذَاتَ دَرٍّ I " . فَأَخَذَ عَنَاقًا لَهُ أَوْ جَدْيًا فَذَبَحَهُ ، وَقَالَ لِامْرَأَتِهِ : اخْتَبِزِي وَأَطْبُخُ أَنَا ، فَأَنْتِ أَعْلَمُ بِالْخَبْزِ ، فَعَمَدَ إِلَى نِصْفِ الْجَدْيِ فَطَبَخَهُ ، وَشَوَى نِصْفَهُ ، فَلَمَّا أَدْرَكَ الطَّعَامَ وُضِعَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- وَأَصْحَابِهِ ، فَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- مِنَ الْجَدْيِ فَوَضَعَهُ عَلَى رَغِيفٍ ، فَقَالَ : I " يَا أَبَا أَيُّوبَ ، أَبْلِغْ بِهَذَا فَاطِمَةَ ، فَإِنَّهَا لَمْ تُصِبْ مِثْلَ هَذَا مُنْذُ أَيَّامٍ I " . فَلَمَّا أَكَلُوا وَشَبِعُوا ، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- : I " خُبْزٌ وَلَحْمٌ وَبُسْرٌ وَتَمْرٌ وَرُطَبٌ I " ، وَدَمَعَتْ عَيْنَاهُ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : I " إِنَّ هَذَا هُوَ النَّعِيمُ الَّذِي تُسْأَلُونَ عَنْهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ I " ، فَكَبُرَ ذَلِكَ عَلَى أَصْحَابِهِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- : I " إِذَا أَصَبْتُمْ مِثْلَ هَذَا وَضَرَبْتُمْ بِأَيْدِيكُمْ ، فَقُولُوا : بِسْمِ اللهِ وَبَرَكَةِ اللهِ ، فَإِذَا شَبِعْتُمْ ، فَقُولُوا : الْحَمْدُ لِلهِ الَّذِي أَشْبَعَنَا وَأَرْوَانَا وَأَنْعَمَ وَأَفْضَلَ ، فَإِنَّ هَذَا كَفَافٌ بِهَذَا I " . وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- لَا يَأْتِي إِلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ مَعْرُوفًا إِلَّا أَحَبَّ أَنْ يُجَازِيَهُ ، فَقَالَ لِأَبِي أَيُّوبَ : I " ائْتِنَا غَدًا I " ، فَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- يَأْمُرُكَ أَنْ تَأْتِيَهُ ، فَلَمَّا أَتَاهُ أَعْطَاهُ وَلِيدَةً ، فَقَالَ : I " يَا أَبَا أَيُّوبَ ، اسْتَوْصِ بِهَا خَيْرًا ، فَإِنَّا لَمْ نَرَ إِلَّا خَيْرًا مَا دَامَتْ عِنْدَنَا I " ، فَلَمَّا جَاءَ بِهَا أَبُو أَيُّوبَ قَالَ : مَا أَجِدُ لِوَصِيَّةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- خَيْرًا مِنْ أَنْ أُعْتِقَهَا ، فَأَعْتَقَهَا . لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ إِلَّا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُوسَى I " .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) relates: Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) went out (of his house) in the scorching heat of midday. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) heard of this and he too went out, and suddenly he met Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him). He asked: "O Abu Bakr! What has brought you out at this hour?" He said: "By Allah! The pain of severe hunger that I feel in my stomach is what has brought me out." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "By Allah! Nothing but that has brought me out too." While the two of them were like this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came out to them and said: "What has brought the two of you out at this hour?" They both said: "By Allah! The severe hunger we feel in our stomachs is what has brought us out." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By the One in whose hand my soul is! Nothing but that has brought me out either. Well then, get up." So they all got up and set off until they reached the door of Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) used to keep food or milk aside for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). That day he (peace and blessings be upon him) was late and did not arrive at his usual time, so he fed it to his family and went off to work in his date-palm orchard. When they reached the door of Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him), his wife came out and said: "Welcome to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and to those with him!" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: "Where is Abu Ayyub?" She said: "O Prophet of Allah! He will come to you right now." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) turned back, and Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him), who was working in his date-palm orchard, caught sight of him (peace and blessings be upon him). So he came running until he caught up with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "Welcome to the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and to those with him! O Messenger of Allah! This is not the time at which you used to come to me." Then he brought him (peace and blessings be upon him) back (towards the house), went to a cluster of dates on a palm and cut it. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "What did you intend by this?" He said: "O Messenger of Allah! I wanted you to eat from it its fresh ripe dates (rutab), its half-ripe dates (busr) and its dried dates (tamr), and I will also slaughter an animal for you along with it." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you must slaughter, do not slaughter one that gives milk." So he took a female kid or a male kid of his goats and slaughtered it, and said to his wife: "You bake the bread and I will cook the meat, for you know better than me how to bake bread." Then he cooked half of the kid in a pot and roasted the other half. When the food was ready, it was placed before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and his (peace and blessings be upon him) Companions (may Allah be pleased with them). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took some of the kid's meat, placed it on a loaf of bread and said: "O Abu Ayyub! Take this to Fatimah, for she has not had food like this for several days." Then when they had all eaten and were full, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Bread, meat, half-ripe dates, dried dates and fresh dates!" And his (peace and blessings be upon him) eyes filled with tears. Then he said: "This is the blessing about which you will be questioned on the Day of Resurrection." This weighed heavily on the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them). So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When you come across food like this and stretch out your hands towards it, say: 'Bismillahi wa barakatillah' (In the name of Allah and with the blessing of Allah). And when you are full, say: 'Alhamdu lillahil-ladhi ashba'ana wa arwana wa an'ama wa afdal' (All praise is for Allah, who has fed us to our fill, quenched our thirst, bestowed His blessings and shown His favour). For these words suffice for (giving thanks for) this blessing." It was the blessed habit of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that whenever someone did him (peace and blessings be upon him) a kindness, he (peace and blessings be upon him) liked to repay him. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him): "Come to us tomorrow." But he did not hear, so Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is ordering you to come to him." When he came to him (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him a slave girl and said: "O Abu Ayyub! Treat her well, for as long as she was with us we saw nothing but good from her." Then when Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) brought her home, he said: "I find no better way to fulfil the instruction of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) than to set her free." So he set her free.
