أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أنبأ أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ الْأَعْرَابِيِّ، ثنا ابْنُ عَفَّانَ يَعْنِي الْحَسَنَ بْنَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَفَّانَ، ثنا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ الْقَعْقَاعِ، عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " اللهُمَّ اجْعَلْ رِزْقَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ قُوتًا " ⦗٢١٥⦘ رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْأَشَجِّ، عَنْ أَبِي أُسَامَةَ وَأَخْرَجَهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ وَرُوِّينَا، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: " إِنَّمَا يَأْكُلُ آلُ مُحَمَّدٍ مِنْ هَذَا الْمَالِ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ أَنْ يَزِيدُوا عَلَى الْمَأْكَلِ إِنَّمَا أَرَادَ مَنْ فِي نَفَقَتِهِ " وَرُوِّينَا عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: " مَا شَبِعَ آلُ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ طَعَامٍ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ حَتَّى قُبِضَ " وَرُوِّينَا عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: " مَا شَبِعَ آلُ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، مُنْذُ قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ مِنْ طَعَامِ بُرٍّ ثَلَاثَ لَيَالٍ تِبَاعًا حَتَّى قُبِضَ "، وَعَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: " إِنَّا كُنَّا آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَنَمْكُثُ شَهْرًا مَا نَسْتَوْقِدُ بِنَارٍ، إِنَّمَا هُوَ التَّمْرُ وَالْمَاءُ " وَأَشَارَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَلِيمِيُّ إِلَى أَنَّ اسْمَ أَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ لِلْأَزْوَاجِ تَحْقِيقٌ، وَاسْمُ الْآلِ لَهُنَّ تَشْبِيهٌ بِالنَّسَبِ وَخُصُوصًا أَزْوَاجَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؛ لِأَنَّ اتِّصَالَهُنَّ بِهِ غَيْرُ مُرْتَفِعٍ، وَهُنَّ مُحَرَّمَاتٌ عَلَى غَيْرِهِ فِي حَيَاتِهِ وَبَعْدَ وَفَاتِهِ، فَالسَّبَبُ الَّذِي لَهُنَّ بِهِ قَائِمٌ مَقَامَ النَّسَبِ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ: وَفِي نَصِّ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى الْأَمْرِ بِالصَّلَاةِ عَلَى أَزْوَاجِهِ يُغْنِيهِ عَنْ غَيْرِهِ.
(a) Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Allah, make the provision of the family of Muhammad just enough to live on."
(b) The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The family of Muhammad only eat from this wealth; they have nothing more than this food." By this he (peace and blessings be upon him) meant those under his maintenance.
(c) It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the family of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) never ate their fill of food for three consecutive days until he (peace and blessings be upon him) departed from this world.
(d) It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that from the time the family of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) came to Madinah, they never ate their fill of wheat bread for three days until he (peace and blessings be upon him) departed from this transient world.
(e) It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her): We, the family of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), would spend a whole month without a fire being lit in our houses; our food was dates and water.
(f) Abu Abdullah al-Halimi (may Allah have mercy on him) indicated that the term 'Ahl al-Bayt' (household) applies to the wives in its true sense, while applying the term 'Al' (family) to them is by way of likening to lineage, and especially to the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), because their bond with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is never severed, and they (the pure wives) are unlawful for anyone else both during his (peace and blessings be upon him) lifetime and after his (peace and blessings be upon him) death; for this reason their tie with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stands established (like lineage).
Imam al-Bayhaqi (may Allah have mercy on him) says: The Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) explicit command to send blessings upon his wives makes any other evidence unnecessary.
