Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 3276 — when the Prophet ﷺ dug the Trench

وَبِهِ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْوَاحِدِ بْنِ أَيْمَنَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ : لَمَّا حَفَرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْخَنْدَقَ أَصَابَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ جَهْدٌ شَدِيدٌ ، حَتَّى رَبَطَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى بَطْنِهِ صَخْرَةً مِنَ الْجُوعِ ، وَأَصْحَابُهُ ، فَذَبَحْتُ عَنَاقًا وَأَمَرْتُ أَهْلِي فَخَبَزُوا شَيْئًا مِنْ شَعِيرٍ كَانَ عِنْدَهُمْ ، وَطَبَخُوا الْعَنَاقَ ، ثُمَّ دَعَوْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِالَّذِي صَنَعْتُ ، فَقَالَ : فَانْطَلِقْ ، فَهَيِّئْ مَا عِنْدَكَ حَتَّى آتِيَكَ فَذَهَبْتُ ، فَهَيَّأْتُ مَا كَانَ عِنْدَنَا ، فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَالْجَيْشُ جَمِيعًا ، قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، إِنَّمَا هِيَ عَنَاقٌ ، جَعَلْتُهَا لَكَ وَلِنَفَرٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِكَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : I " ائْتِ بِقَصْعَةٍ I " فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِقَصْعَةٍ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : I " ائْدِمْ فِيهَا I " ثُمَّ دَعَا عَلَيْهَا بِالْبَرَكَةِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : I " بِاسْمِ اللهِ I " ثُمَّ قَالَ : I " أَدْخِلْ عَشَرَةَ رِجَالٍ I " فَفَعَلْتُ ، فَإِذَا طَعِمُوا وَشَبِعُوا خَرَجُوا ، وَأَدْخَلْتُ عَشَرَةً أُخْرَى ، حَتَّى بَلَغَ الْجَيْشُ جَمِيعًا ، وَالطَّعَامُ كَمَا هُوَ .
لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْوَاحِدِ بْنِ أَيْمَنَ إِلَّا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) dug the Trench, the Muslims faced severe hardship and difficulty, so much so that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) tied stones on their bellies because of hunger. (Jabir (may Allah be pleased with them both) says:) I slaughtered a young goat and instructed my family, and they baked bread from a little barley they had and cooked the young goat. Then I invited the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and informed him of what I had prepared, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go and keep ready what you have, until I come to you." I went and got ready what we had. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came with the whole army. I said: "O Messenger of Allah, it is only one young goat; I prepared it for you (peace and blessings be upon him) and a few of your (peace and blessings be upon him) companions." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Bring a large bowl (platter)." I brought him (peace and blessings be upon him) a large bowl, then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Put the broth in it." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated for blessing upon it, then said: "Bismillah (begin with the name of Allah)." Then he said: "Bring in ten men." I did so; when they had eaten their fill they would leave, and I would bring in ten more, until the whole army had eaten and the food remained just as it was.
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Abd al-Wahid bin Ayman except Muhammad bin Fudayl."
