(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ ، عَنْ
حُمَيْدٍ ، عَنْ
أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : " بَعَثَتْ مَعِي أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ بِمِكْتَلٍ فِيهِ رُطَبٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَلَمْ أَجِدْهُ وَخَرَجَ قَرِيبًا إِلَى مَوْلًى لَهُ دَعَاهُ ، صَنَعَ لَهُ طَعَامًا ، قَالَ : فَأَتَيْتُهُ ، فَإِذَا هُوَ يَأْكُلُ ، فَدَعَانِي لِآكُلَ مَعَهُ ، قَالَ : وَصَنَعَ لَهُ ثَرِيدًا بِلَحْمٍ وَقَرْعٍ ، قَالَ : وَإِذَا هُوَ يُعْجِبُهُ الْقَرْعُ ، قَالَ : فَجَعَلْتُ أَجْمَعُهُ فَأُدْنِيهِ مِنْهُ ، قَالَ : فَلَمَّا طَعِمَ رَجَعَ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ ، قَالَ : وَوَضَعْتُ الْمِكْتَلَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ ، قَالَ : فَجَعَلَ يَأْكُلُ ، وَيَقْسِمُ حَتَّى فَرَغَ مِنْ آخِرِهِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that once Hazrat Umm Sulaim (may Allah be pleased with her) filled a pouch with fresh dates and sent it to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) by my hand. I did not find the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at home, because he had gone nearby to one of his freed slaves who had invited the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When I reached there, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was eating food. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called me to eat as well. The host had prepared a dish of meat and gourd (thareed). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) liked gourd very much, so I kept separating it and placing it before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) finished eating and returned home, I placed that pouch before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) kept eating from it and distributing it until the pouch was empty.
