Musnad Ahmad 14741 — Musnad of Jabir ibn Abdullah
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَنَّهُ أَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ يَسْتَطْعِمُهُ ، فَأَطْعَمَهُ شَطْرَ وَسْقِ شَعِيرٍ ، فَمَا زَالَ الرَّجُلُ يَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ هُوَ وَامْرَأَتُهُ وَوَصِيفٌ لَهُمْ ، حَتَّى كَالُوهُ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَوْ لَمْ تَكِيلُوهُ ، لَأَكَلْتُمْ مِنْهُ ، وَلَقَامَ لَكُمْ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that once a man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to request some grain. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him half a wasq. After that, the man, his wife, and their child continued to eat from it regularly until one day they measured it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you had not measured it, you would have continued to take from it and it would have remained with you."
