Hadith 147
147/200 عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: " إذا جاء أحدكم خادمه بطعامه فليجلسه، فإن لم يقبل فليناوله منه".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he narrates from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that he (peace be upon him) said: "When a servant brings food to any one of you, he should make him sit with him, and if he does not accept, then he should give him something from the food."
Hadith 148
148/201 عن أبي محذورة قال: " كنت جالساً عند عمر رضي الله عنه إذ جاء صفوان بن أمية بجفنة، يحملها نفرٌ في عباءةٍ، فوضعوها بين يدي عمر، فدعا عمر ناساً مساكين وأرقاء من أرقاء الناس حوله، فأكلوا معه، ثم قال: عند ذلك: فعل الله بقوم- أو قال: لحا الله قوماً(1) – يرغبون عن أرقائهم أن يأكلوا معهم فقال صفوان أما والله ! ما نرغب عنهم و لكنا نستأثر عليهم، لا نجد – والله! – من الطعام الطيب ما نأكل ونطعمهم".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Mahdhurah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I was sitting with Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) when Safwan bin Umayyah brought a bowl, which some people were carrying in a cloak. They placed it before Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), so Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) called some poor people and some slaves from among the people around him, and they ate with him. Then, on this occasion, he said: "May Allah do this to the people," or he said: "May Allah curse the people who turn away from their slaves regarding eating together with them." Safwan said: "Beware, by Allah! We do not turn away from them, but we prefer ourselves over them. By Allah! We do not eat so much of the good food that we eat ourselves and also feed them. Rather, we prefer them over ourselves. By Allah! We do not eat good food ourselves and also feed them."
