Musnad Abi Ya'la 5096 — he said: I was grazing the goats of the family
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ السَّامِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا سَلَّامُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ أَبُو الْمُنْذِرِ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ بَهْدَلَةَ ، عَنْ زِرٍّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ فِي غَنَمٍ لِآلِ أَبِي مُعَيْطٍ أَرْعَاهَا ، فَجَاءَنِي النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَمَعَهُ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : يَا غُلَامُ ، هَلْ عِنْدَكَ لَبَنٌ تَسْقِينَا ؟ فَقُلْتُ : نَعَمْ ، وَلَكِنِّي مُؤْتَمَنٌ ، قَالَ : فَهَلْ عِنْدَكَ شَاةٌ شَصُومٌ لَمْ يَنْزُ عَلَيْهَا الْفَحْلُ ؟ قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ ، فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِشَاةٍ شَصُومٍ ، قَالَ سَلَّامٌ : لَمْ يَنْزُ عَلَيْهَا الْفَحْلُ ، وَهِيَ الَّتِي لَيْسَ لَهَا ضَرْعٌ ، فَمَسَحَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - مَكَانَ الضَّرْعِ وَمَا بِهَا ضَرْعٌ ، فَإِذَا ضَرْعٌ حَافِلٌ مَمْلُوءٌ لَبَنًا ، وَأَتَيْتُهُ بِصَخْرَةٍ مُنْقَعِرَةٍ ، فَاحْتَلَبَ ، فَسَقَى أَبَا بَكْرٍ ، وَسَقَانِي ، ثُمَّ شَرِبَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلضَّرْعِ : اقْلِصْ ، فَرَجَعَ كَمَا كَانَ ، قَالَ : فَأَنَا رَأَيْتُ هَذَا بِعَيْنَيَّ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، عَلِّمْنِي ، فَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِي ، وَقَالَ : بَارَكَ اللهُ فِيكَ ، فَإِنَّكَ غُلَامٌ مُعَلَّمٌ ، فَأَسْلَمْتُ ، فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، فَبَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ عِنْدَهُ عَلَى حِرَاءٍ إِذْ نَزَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ سُورَةُ الْمُرْسَلَاتِ ، فَأَخَذْتُهَا ، وَإِنَّ فَاهُ لَرَطْبٌ بِهَا ، فَلَا أَدْرِي بِأَيِّ الْآيَتَيْنِ خُتِمَتْ وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ ارْكَعُوا لا يَرْكَعُونَ أَوْ ( بِأَيِّ حَدِيثٍ بَعْدَهُ يُؤْمِنُونَ ) فَأَخَذْتُ مِنْ فِي رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - سَبْعِينَ سُورَةً ، وَأَخَذْتُ سَائِرَ الْقُرْآنِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ .
قَالَ : فَبَيْنَا نَحْنُ نِيَامٌ عَلَى حِرَاءٍ ، فَمَا نَبَّهَنَا إِلَّا قَوْلُ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : مَنَعَهَا مِنْكُمُ الَّذِي مَنَعَكُمْ مِنْهَا ، قُلْنَا : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، وَمَا ذَاكَ ؟ قَالَ : حَيَّةٌ خَرَجَتْ مِنْ نَاحِيَةِ الْجَبَلِ .

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "I was grazing the goats of the family of Abu Mu'ayt when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me, and with him (peace and blessings be upon him) was Sayyiduna Abu Bakr bin Abi Quhafah (may Allah be pleased with him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: 'O boy! Do you have any milk that you can give us to drink?' I said: Yes! But I am entrusted (with them). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Do you have a young ewe that no male has yet mounted?' I said: Yes! Then I brought him (peace and blessings be upon him) such a young ewe, whose udder had not even appeared yet. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed his blessed hand over the place of the udder, though there was no trace of an udder there, and suddenly that place swelled up, full of milk. I brought him (peace and blessings be upon him) a deep, bowl-like stone, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) milked into it, then gave Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) to drink, gave me to drink, and then drank himself. After that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the udder: 'Shrink!' and it returned to its original state. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I saw this miracle of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with my own eyes. Then I said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Teach me (something) too. He (peace and blessings be upon him) passed his blessed hand over my head and said: 'May Allah Almighty bless you,' 'Indeed, you are a well-taught boy.' So I accepted Islam." Then I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and once, while we were with him (peace and blessings be upon him) on (Mount) Hira, Surah al-Mursalat was revealed to him (peace and blessings be upon him). I learnt it (hearing it from him (peace and blessings be upon him)) while his blessed mouth was still moist with its recitation. I do not remember with which of these two verses the surah ended: "And when it is said to them, 'Bow down,' they do not bow down" [Al-Mursalat: 48], or "Then in what statement after it will they believe?" [Al-Mursalat: 50]. I took seventy surahs from the blessed mouth of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and I took the rest of the Qur'an from his Companions. He says: Once we were sleeping on Hira, and nothing woke us except these words of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "The One who kept it from you kept you safe from it." We said: "O Messenger of Allah! What was it?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It was a snake that came out from the side of the mountain."
