حَدِيثُ رَجُلٍ يُسَمَّ طَلْحَةَ وَلَيْسَ هُوَ بِطَلْحَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ
Hadith of a man named Talhah, who is not Talhah ibn Ubayd Allah (may Allah be pleased with him)
Hadith 15988
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي , حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي هِنْدٍ , عَنْ أَبِي حَرْبٍ ، أَنَّ طَلْحَةَ حَدَّثَهُ , وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : أَتَيْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ وَلَيْسَ لِي بِهَا مَعْرِفَةٌ ، فَنَزَلْتُ فِي الصُّفَّةِ مَعَ رَجُلٍ ، فَكَانَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ مُدٌّ مِنْ تَمْرٍ ، فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ ، قَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الصُّفَّةِ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَحْرَقَ بُطُونَنَا التَّمْرُ ، وَتَخَرَّقَتْ عَنَّا الْخُنُفُ ، فَصَعِدَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَخَطَبَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " وَاللَّهِ لَوْ وَجَدْتُ خُبْزًا أَوْ لَحْمًا لَأَطْعَمْتُكُمُوهُ ، أَمَا إِنَّكُمْ تُوشِكُونَ أَنْ تُدْرِكُوا ، وَمَنْ أَدْرَكَ ذَلِكَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يُرَاحَ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْجِفَانِ ، وَتَلْبَسُونَ مِثْلَ أَسْتَارِ الْكَعْبَةِ " , قَالَ : فَمَكَثْتُ أَنَا وَصَاحِبِي ثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ يَوْمًا وَلَيْلَةً مَا لَنَا طَعَامٌ إِلَّا الْبَرِيرَ ، حَتَّى جِئْنَا إِلَى إِخْوَانِنَا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَوَاسَوْنَا ، وَكَانَ خَيْرَ مَا أَصَبْنَا هَذَا التَّمْرُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Talha that once I arrived in Madinah Munawwarah and I had no acquaintances there. So, I came and stayed with a man on a platform called Suffah. That man and I used to divide only one mudd of dates between us daily. One day, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led the prayer. After finishing the prayer, one of the people of Suffah said, "O Messenger of Allah! The dates have set our stomachs on fire and rashes have appeared on our bodies." Upon this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ascended the pulpit and, delivering a sermon, said: "By Allah, if I had bread and meat with me, I would have fed you that as well. Soon you will receive all these things, so much so that you will have large bowls and slaves, and you will have clothes to wear like those of the Ka'bah." After that, he shared our grief for only eighteen days. Until then, the best thing we had received was these very dates.
