Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 20353 — A year of famine struck the people

حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ التُّسْتَرِيُّ، ثنا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، ثنا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ بِنْتِ الْحَارِثِ، قَالَتْ: أَخَذَتِ النَّاسَ سَنَةٌ وَكَانَ الْأَعْرَابُ يَأْتُونَ الْمَدِينَةَ وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَأْمُرُ الرَّجُلَ فَيَأْخُذُ بِيَدِ الرَّجُلِ فَيُضِيفُهُ وَيُعَشِّيهِ، فَجَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ لَيْلَةً وَكَانَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ طَعَامٌ يَسِيرٌ وَشَيْءٌ مِنْ لَبَنٍ فَأَكَلَهُ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ وَلَمْ يَدَعْ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَيْئًا، فَجَاءَ بِهِ لَيْلَةً أَوْ لَيْلَتَيْنِ فَجَعَلَ يَأْكُلُهُ كُلَّهُ، فَقُلْتُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: اللهُمَّ لَا تُبَارِكْ فِي هَذَا الْأَعْرَابِيِّ يَأْكُلُ طَعَامَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَيَدَعُهُ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ بِهِ لَيْلَةً فَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ إِلَّا يَسِيرًا وَلَمْ يَشْرَبْ مِنَ اللَّبَنِ إِلَّا يَسِيرًا، فَقُلْتُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ذَاكَ وَجَاءَ بِهِ لَيْلَةً وَقَدْ أَسْلَمَ فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ الْكَافِرَ يَأْكُلُ فِي سَبْعَةِ أَمْعَاءٍ وَإِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ يَأْكُلُ فِي مِعًى وَاحِدٍ»
Sayyidah Maymunah bint al-Harith (may Allah be pleased with her) said: A year of famine struck the people, and the Bedouins used to come to Madinah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would instruct a man, and he would take a (Bedouin) man by the hand, make him his guest and give him supper. One night a Bedouin came, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had a little food and some milk, and the Bedouin ate it and left nothing for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) brought him for one or two (more) nights, and he would eat all of it. So I said in front of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): O Allah, do not bless this Bedouin; he eats the food of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and leaves him (hungry). Then he brought him one night and he ate only a little of the food and drank only a little of the milk. I mentioned this to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him); he had brought him that night after he had become Muslim. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The disbeliever eats in seven intestines, and the believer eats in one intestine."
