Musnad Abi Ya'la 502 — from a man, whom he named but I (the narrator)
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ رُومَانَ الْقُرَظِيِّ ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ سَمَّاهُ وَنَسِيتُهُ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ، قَالَ : خَرَجْتُ فِي غَدَاةٍ شَاتِيَةٍ جَائِعًا وَقَدْ أَوْبَقَنِي الْبَرْدُ ، فَأَخَذْتُ ثَوْبًا مِنْ صُوفٍ قَدْ كَانَ عِنْدَنَا ، ثُمَّ أَدْخَلْتُهُ فِي عُنُقِي وَحَزَمْتُهُ عَلَى صَدْرِي أَسْتَدْفِئُ بِهِ ، وَاللهِ مَا فِي بَيْتِي شَيْءٌ آكُلُ مِنْهُ ، وَلَوْ كَانَ فِي بَيْتِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَيْءٌ لَبَلَغَنِي ، فَخَرَجْتُ فِي بَعْضِ نَوَاحِي الْمَدِينَةِ فَانْطَلَقْتُ إِلَى يَهُودِيٍّ فِي حَائِطِهِ ، فَاطَّلَعْتُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ ثُغْرَةِ جِدَارِهِ ، فَقَالَ : مَا لَكَ يَا أَعْرَابِيُّ ، هَلْ لَكَ فِي دَلْوٍ بِتَمْرَةٍ ؟ قُلْتُ : نَعَمِ ، افْتَحْ لِيَ الْحَائِطَ ، فَفَتَحَ لِي ، فَدَخَلْتُ ، فَجَعَلْتُ أَنْزِعُ الدَّلْوَ وَيُعْطِينِي تَمْرَةً ، حَتَّى مَلَأْتُ كَفِّي ، قُلْتُ : حَسْبِي مِنْكَ الْآنَ ، فَأَكَلْتُهُنَّ ثُمَّ جَرَعْتُ مِنَ الْمَاءِ ، ثُمَّ جِئْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَجَلَسْتُ إِلَيْهِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ ، وَهُوَ مَعَ عِصَابَةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ ، فَطَلَعَ عَلَيْنَا مُصْعَبُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ فِي بُرْدَةٍ لَهُ مَرْقُوعَةٍ بِفَرْوَةٍ ، وَكَانَ أَنْعَمَ غُلَامٍ بِمَكَّةَ وَأَرْفَهَهُ عَيْشًا ، فَلَمَّا رَآهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَكَرَ مَا كَانَ فِيهِ مِنَ النَّعِيمِ ، وَرَأَى حَالَهُ الَّتِي هُوَ عَلَيْهَا ، فَذَرَفَتْ عَيْنَاهُ ، فَبَكَى ، ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَنْتُمُ الْيَوْمَ خَيْرٌ ، أَمْ إِذَا غُدِيَ عَلَى أَحَدِكُمْ بِجَفْنَةٍ مِنْ خُبْزٍ وَلَحْمٍ ، وَرِيحَ عَلَيْهِ بِأُخْرَى ، وَغَدَا فِي حُلَّةٍ ، وَرَاحَ فِي أُخْرَى ، وَسَتَرْتُمْ بُيُوتَكُمْ كَمَا تُسْتَرُ الْكَعْبَةُ ؟ قُلْنَا : بَلْ نَحْنُ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَيْرٌ ، نَتَفَرَّغُ لِلْعِبَادَةِ ، قَالَ : بَلْ أَنْتُمُ الْيَوْمَ خَيْرٌ .
Yazid bin Ruman al-Qurazi (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from a man, whom he named but I (the narrator) have forgotten, that Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I went out on a winter morning, severely hungry, and the cold had worn me out. So I took a piece of woollen cloth that we had, put it around my neck and tied it over my chest to get some warmth from it. By Allah! There was nothing in my house to eat, and had there been anything in the house of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), word of it would have reached me. Then I set out towards one of the outlying areas of Madinah and came to a Jew in his orchard. I peeped at him through a gap in his wall, and he said: 'What is the matter with you, O Bedouin? Would you like to draw a bucket of water for one date?' I said: 'Yes, open the orchard for me.' He opened the gate and I went in. Then I began drawing water with the bucket, and he gave me a date for each bucket, until my palm was full. I said: 'That is enough for me now.' Then I ate those dates and drank some water. After that I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and sat with him in the mosque, while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting with a group of his Companions. Meanwhile, Sayyiduna Mus'ab bin Umayr (may Allah be pleased with him) appeared before us wearing a cloak patched with pieces of hide, although he had been the most prosperous and most pampered young man in Makkah. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw him, he recalled his former prosperity, and seeing the state he was now in, tears flowed from his (peace and blessings be upon him) eyes and he (peace and blessings be upon him) wept. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Are you better today, or will you be better at the time when a bowl of meat and bread is placed before one of you in the morning and the like is served in the evening, and you wear one suit of clothes in the morning and another in the evening, and you cover your houses with curtains just as the Ka'bah is covered?' We said: 'Rather, we will be better on that day, because then we will be free for worship.' He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'No, rather you are better today than in those days.'"
