Hadith 1696
وَحَدَّثَنِي، عَنْ وَحَدَّثَنِي، عَنْ مَالِك، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَلْحَلَةَ ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ مَالِكِ بْنِ خُثَيْمٍ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : كُنْتُ جَالِسًا مَعَ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ بِأَرْضِهِ بِالْعَقِيقِ، فَأَتَاهُ قَوْمٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ عَلَى دَوَابٍّ فَنَزَلُوا عِنْدَهُ، قَالَ حُمَيْدٌ : فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ : " اذْهَبْ إِلَى أُمِّي، فَقُلْ : إِنَّ ابْنَكِ يُقْرِئُكِ السَّلَامَ، وَيَقُولُ : أَطْعِمِينَا شَيْئًا "، قَالَ : فَوَضَعَتْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَقْرَاصٍ فِي صَحْفَةٍ وَشَيْئًا مِنْ زَيْتٍ وَمِلْحٍ، ثُمَّ وَضَعَتْهَا عَلَى رَأْسِي وَحَمَلْتُهَا إِلَيْهِمْ، فَلَمَّا وَضَعْتُهَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ كَبَّرَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ، وَقَالَ : " الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَشْبَعَنَا مِنَ الْخُبْزِ بَعْدَ أَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ طَعَامُنَا إِلَّا الْأَسْوَدَيْنِ الْمَاءَ وَالتَّمْرَ "، فَلَمْ يُصِبْ الْقَوْمُ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ شَيْئًا، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفُوا، قَالَ : يَا ابْنَ أَخِي " أَحْسِنْ إِلَى غَنَمِكَ وَامْسَحْ الرُّعَامَ عَنْهَا، وَأَطِبْ مُرَاحَهَا وَصَلِّ فِي نَاحِيَتِهَا، فَإِنَّهَا مِنْ دَوَابِّ الْجَنَّةِ، وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَيُوشِكُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ تَكُونُ الثُّلَّةُ مِنَ الْغَنَمِ أَحَبَّ إِلَى صَاحِبِهَا مِنْ دَارِ مَرْوَانَ "
It is narrated from Humaid bin Malik that I was sitting with Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) on his land which was in Aqeeq. Some people from Madinah arrived there riding on animals and dismounted there. Humaid said that Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) said to me: Go to my mother and convey my greetings to her and say, give us some food to eat. Humaid said (I went to his mother): she gave three loaves of bread, some olive oil, and some salt, and loaded them on my head. I brought them to Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) and placed them before him. Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) saw them and said: Allahu Akbar, and said: Praise be to Allah who has satisfied us with bread. Before this, our condition was such that nothing was available except dates and water. That food was not enough for those people. When they left, Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) said to me: O son of my brother! Take good care of the goats, keep wiping their noses, and clean their place, and pray in that place in a corner, because they are among the animals of Paradise. By Allah, in Whose hand is my soul, a time is near when such a period will come upon people that at that time a small flock of goats will be more beloved to a man than the house of Marwan.
