Hadith 2976
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ ، وَابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ يَعْنِيَانِ الْفَزَارِيَّ عَنْ يَزِيدَ وَهُوَ ابْنُ كَيْسَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ ، وقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّادٍ " وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ بِيَدِهِ مَا أَشْبَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَهْلَهُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ تِبَاعًا ، مِنْ خُبْزِ حِنْطَةٍ حَتَّى فَارَقَ الدُّنْيَا " .
Abu Hurairah (RA) reported: By Him in Whose Hand is my life and Ibn 'Abbad also said: By One in Whose hand is the life of Abu Hurairah (RA) , Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) could not afford to provide adequate food to his family which could (fill their bellies) with bread and wheat for three days successively until he left the world.
Hadith 2976
حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو حَازِمٍ ، قَالَ : رَأَيْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يُشِيرُ بِإِصْبَعِهِ مِرَارًا ، يَقُولُ : " وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ بِيَدِهِ ، مَا شَبِعَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَأَهْلُهُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ تِبَاعًا مِنْ خُبْزِ حِنْطَةٍ حَتَّى فَارَقَ الدُّنْيَا " .
Abu Hazim reported: I saw Abu Hurairah (RA) point with his finger many a time and saying: By One in Whose Hand is the life of Abu Hurairah (RA) , Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) could not eat to his fill and provide his family bread of wheat beyond three days successively until he left the world.
Hadith 2977
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ النُّعْمَانَ بْنَ بَشِيرٍ ، يَقُولُ : " أَلَسْتُمْ فِي طَعَامٍ وَشَرَابٍ مَا شِئْتُمْ ؟ ، لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ نَبِيَّكُمْ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَا يَجِدُ مِنَ الدَّقَلِ مَا يَمْلَأُ بِهِ بَطْنَهُ " ، وَقُتَيْبَةُ لَمْ يَذْكُرْ بِهِ ،
Nu'man bin Bashir said: Don't you eat and drink according to your heart's desire, whereas I saw that your Prophet (ﷺ) (at times) could not find even an inferior quality of the dates with which he could fill his belly? Qutaiba, however, did not make a mention of it.
Hadith 2977
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ . ح حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا الْمُلَائِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ كِلَاهُمَا ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ نَحْوَهُ ، وَزَادَ فِي حَدِيثِ زُهَيْرٍ : وَمَا تَرْضَوْنَ دُونَ أَلْوَانِ التَّمْرِ وَالزُّبْدِ .
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Simak with the same chain of transmitters, with this addition of words: "You are not satisfied with the qualities of dates and butter."
Hadith 2978
وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ وَاللَّفْظُ لِابْنِ الْمُثَنَّى ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ النُّعْمَانَ يَخْطُبُ ، قَالَ : ذَكَرَ عُمَرُ مَا أَصَابَ النَّاسُ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا ، فَقَالَ " لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَظَلُّ الْيَوْمَ يَلْتَوِي مَا يَجِدُ دَقَلًا يَمْلَأُ بِهِ بَطْنَهُ " .
Simak bin Harb reported: I heard Nu'man deliver an address in which he said that (Hadrat) Umar made a mention of what had fallen to the lot of people out of the material world and he said: I saw Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) spend the whole day being upset because of hunger and he could not get even an inferior quality of dates with which he could fill his belly.
Hadith 2979
حَدَّثَنِي حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَرْحٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو هَانِئٍ ، سَمِعَ أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحُبُلِيَّ ، يَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ ، وَسَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ ، فَقَالَ " أَلَسْنَا مِنْ فُقَرَاءِ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ ؟ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ : " أَلَكَ امْرَأَةٌ تَأْوِي إِلَيْهَا ؟ ، قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : أَلَكَ مَسْكَنٌ تَسْكُنُهُ ؟ ، قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : فَأَنْتَ مِنَ الْأَغْنِيَاءِ ، قَالَ : فَإِنَّ لِي خَادِمًا ، قَالَ : فَأَنْتَ مِنَ الْمُلُوكِ " .
'Abdul Rahman al-Hubuli reported: I heard that a person asked 'Abdullah bin 'Amr bin 'As saying: Are we not amongst the destitute of the emigrants? 'Abdullah said to him: Have you a spouse with whom you live? He said: Yes. He again said: Then you are amongst the rich. He said: I have a servant also. Thereupon he ('Abdullah bin 'Amr bin 'As) said: Then you are amongst the kings.
Hadith 2979
(حديث موقوف) قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ : وَجَاءَ ثَلَاثَةُ نَفَرٍ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ ، وَأَنَا عِنْدَهُ ، فَقَالُوا يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ : إِنَّا وَاللَّهِ مَا نَقْدِرُ عَلَى شَيْءٍ ، لَا نَفَقَةٍ ، وَلَا دَابَّةٍ ، وَلَا مَتَاعٍ ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ : مَا شِئْتُمْ إِنْ شِئْتُمْ رَجَعْتُمْ إِلَيْنَا ، فَأَعْطَيْنَاكُمْ مَا يَسَّرَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ ، وَإِنْ شِئْتُمْ ذَكَرْنَا أَمْرَكُمْ لِلسُّلْطَانِ ، وَإِنْ شِئْتُمْ صَبَرْتُمْ ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " إِنَّ فُقَرَاءَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ يَسْبِقُونَ الْأَغْنِيَاءَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ بِأَرْبَعِينَ خَرِيفًا " ، قَالُوا : فَإِنَّا نَصْبِرُ لَا نَسْأَلُ شَيْئًا .
Abu 'Abdal-Rahman reported that three persons came to 'Abdullah bin 'Amr (RA) bin 'As while I was sitting with him and they said: By Allah, we have nothing with us either in the form of provision, riding animals or wealth. Thereupon he said to them: I am prepared to do whatever you like. If you come to us, we would give you what Allah would make available for you and if you like I would make a mention of your case to the ruler, and if you like you can show patience also for I have heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Destitute amongst the emigrants would precede the rich emigrants by forty years in getting into Paradise on the Day of Resurrection. Thereupon they said: We then show patience and do not ask for anything.
