Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 7387 — he said: One night I missed the evening meal

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبَانَ ، ثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ وَهْبٍ الْعَلَّافُ ، ثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْإِمَامُ ، ثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ : أَخْطَأَنِي الْعَشَاءُ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَأَخْطَأَنِي أَنْ يَدْعُوَنِي أَحَدٌ مِنْ إِخْوَانِنَا ، فَصَلَّيْتُ الْعِشَاءَ ، ثُمَّ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَنَامَ فَلَمْ أَقْدِرْ ، وَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ فَلَمْ أَقْدِرْ ، فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ عِنْدَ حُجْرَةِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَإِذَا هُوَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي ، فَصَلَّى ثُمَّ اسْتَنَدَ إِلَى السَّارِيَةِ الَّتِي كَانَ يُصَلِّي إِلَيْهَا ، فَقَالَ : I " مَنْ هَذَا ؟ أَبُو هِرٍّ ؟ I " قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : أَخْطَأَكَ الْعَشَاءُ مَعَنَا اللَّيْلَةَ ؟ I " قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : I " انْطَلِقْ إِلَى الْمَنْزِلِ فَقُلْ : هَلُمُّوا الطَّعَامَ الَّذِي عِنْدَكُمْ I " ، فَأَعْطَوْنِي صَحْفَةً فِيهَا عَصِيدَةٌ بِتَمْرٍ ، فَأَتَيْتُ بِهَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَوَضَعْتُهَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ لِي : I " ادْعُ لِيَ أَهْلَ الْمَسْجِدِ I " ، فَقُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي : الْوَيْلُ لِي ، مِمَّا أَرَى مِنْ قِلَّةِ الطَّعَامِ ، وَالْوَيْلُ لِي مِنَ الْمَعْصِيَةِ ، فَآتِي الرَّجُلَ وَهُوَ نَائِمٌ فَأُوقِظُهُ ، وَأَقُولُ : أَجِبْ ، وَآتِي الرَّجُلَ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي ، فَأَقُولُ : أَجِبْ ، حَتَّى اجْتَمَعُوا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَوَضَعَ أَصَابِعَهُ فِيهَا ، وَغَمَزَ نَوَاحِيَهَا ، وَقَالَ : I " كُلُوا بِسْمِ اللهِ I " ، فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا ، وَأَكَلْتُ حَتَّى شَبِعْتُ ، فَقَالَ : I " خُذْهَا يَا أَبَا هِرٍّ ، فَارْدُدْهَا إِلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، فَمَا فِي آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ طَعَامٌ يَأْكُلُهُ ذُو كَبِدٍ غَيْرُهُ ، أَهْدَاهَا إِلَيْنَا رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ I " ، فَأَخَذْتُ الصَّحْفَةَ فَرَفَعْتُهَا ، فَإِذَا هِيَ كَهَيْئَتِهَا حِينَ وَضَعْتُهَا ، إِلَّا أَنَّ فِيهَا آثَارَ خُطُوطِ أَصَابِعِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .
لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ إِلَّا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ ، وَلَا عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ إِلَّا ابْنُهُ عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ ، وَلَا عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ إِلَّا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْإِمَامُ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ : إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ وَهْبٍ I " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "One night I missed the evening meal with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), nor did any of our brothers invite me (to eat). I prayed Isha, then I intended to sleep but could not sleep (because of hunger), and I intended to pray but did not have the strength for that either. Suddenly I saw a man near the blessed chamber of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). I went near him, and it was the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), praying. He (peace and blessings be upon him) completed the prayer, then leaned against the pillar towards which he (peace and blessings be upon him) had been praying, and asked: 'Who is this? Abu Hirr?' I said: 'Yes.' He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: 'Did you miss eating with us tonight?' I said: 'Yes.' He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Go to the house and say: Bring the food that you have.' (There) they gave me a bowl in which there was a pudding made with dates. I brought it to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and placed it before him (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: 'Call the people of the mosque to me.' I said to myself: Woe to me at the scarcity of this food that I see (how will it suffice everyone?), and woe to me if I disobey! So I would go to a man who was sleeping, wake him and say: Come; and I would go to a man who was praying and say to him: Come; until they all gathered with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) put his fingers in that food, pressed its edges and said: 'Eat with the name of Allah (Bismillah).' So they all ate until they were full, and I too ate until I was full. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'O Abu Hirr! Take it and return it to the family of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), for the family of Muhammad has nothing other than this that any living being could eat. A man from the Ansar gave it to us as a gift.' I lifted the bowl and it was exactly (full) as it had been when I placed it, except that the marks of the fingers of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) were visible in it."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Amir bin Sa'd except Ja'far bin Abdullah bin al-Hakam, and from Ja'far his son Abd al-Hamid, and from Abd al-Hamid only Hafs bin Umar al-Imam, while Ishaq bin Wahb is alone in narrating it."
