Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 3271 — Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah relates: I was
وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ : أَصَابَنِي جَهْدٌ شَدِيدٌ ، فَأَتَيْتُ عُمَرَ ، فَاسْتَفْتَحْتُهُ آيَةً مِنْ كِتَابِ اللهِ ، فَدَخَلَ دَارَهُ ، ثُمَّ فَتَحَهَا عَلَيَّ ، فَذَهَبْتُ غَيْرَ بَعِيدٍ ، فَخَرَرْتُ لِوَجْهِي مِنَ الْجَهْدِ ، فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَائِمٌ عَلَى رَأْسِي ، فَقَالَ : I " أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ I " قُلْتُ : لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَسَعْدَيْكَ ، فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ مَا أَنَا فِيهِ ، فَعَرَفَ الَّذِي بِي فَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى رَحْلِهِ ، فَأَمَرَ لِي بِعُسٍّ مِنْ لَبَنٍ ، فَشَرِبْتُ مِنْهُ ، فَقَالَ : عُدْ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ، فَعُدْتُ ، فَشَرِبْتُ حَتَّى اسْتَوَى ظَهْرِي وَصَارَ كَالْقِدْحِ ، فَلَقِيتُ عُمَرَ ، فَذَكَرْتُ الَّذِي كَانَ مِنْ أَمْرِي ، وَقُلْتُ لَهُ : تَوَلَّى اللهُ ذَلِكَ مَنْ كَانَ أَحَقَّ بِهِ مِنْكُمْ ، وَلَقَدِ اسْتَقْرَأْتُكَ الْآيَةَ وَأَنَا أَقْرَأُ لَهَا مِنْكَ ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : وَاللهِ لَوَدِدْتُ أَنِّي كُنْتُ أَدْخَلْتُكَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ حُمْرُ النَّعَمِ .
Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) relates: "I was afflicted with severe hunger and hardship, so I came to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked him about a verse of the Book of Allah (so that he would recite it to me and explain it). He went into his house, then he told me the verse. I had gone only a short distance from there when I fell on my face from the severity of hunger. Suddenly I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) standing at my head. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Abu Hurayrah!' I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, here I am, at your service again and again.' Then I told him (peace and blessings be upon him) of my condition, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) understood my state and went to his house, then he ordered a large bowl of milk to be brought for me. I drank from it, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Abu Hurayrah, drink again.' I drank again until my back straightened and became taut like an arrow. Then I met Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), told him my whole story and said: 'Allah Almighty arranged it at the hands of the one among you who was most entitled to it. I had asked you to recite that verse to me although I knew it better than you.' Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: 'By Allah, had I taken you into the house (at that time), that would have been dearer to me than red camels.'"
