Bayhaqi 7802 — Reports on the saying of Allah the Exalted

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَبُو زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ الْمُزَكِّي، قَالَا: أنبأ أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدُوسٍ، ثنا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الدَّارِمِيُّ، ثنا مُسَدَّدٌ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ دَاوُدَ، عَنْ فُضَيْلٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ غَزْوَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ: أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَبَعَثَ إِلَى نِسَائِهِ، فَقَالُوا: مَا عِنْدَنَا إِلَّا الْمَاءُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَنْ يُضَيِّفُ هَذَا؟ " فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ: أَنَا، فَانْطَلَقَ بِهِ إِلَى امْرَأَتِهِ، فَقَالَ: أَكْرِمِي ضَيْفَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَتْ: مَا مَعَنَا إِلَّا قُوتُ الصِّبْيَانِ، فَقَالَ " هَيِّئِي طَعَامَكِ وَأَطْفِئِي سِرَاجَكِ، وَنَوِّمِي صِبْيَانَكِ إِذَا أَرَادُوا الْعَشَاءَ، فَهَيَّأَتْ طَعَامَهَا، وَأَصْلَحَتْ سِرَاجَهَا، وَنَوَّمَتْ صِبْيَانَهَا، ثُمَّ قَامَتْ كَأَنَّهَا تُصْلِحُ سِرَاجَهَا فَأَطْفَأَتْهُ، وَجَعَلَا يُرِيَانِهِ أَنَّهُمَا يَأْكُلَانِ وَبَاتَا طَاوِيَيْنِ، فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ غَدَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: " لَقَدْ ضَحِكَ اللهُ اللَّيْلَةَ، أَوْ عَجِبَ مِنْ فِعَالِكُمْ "، وَقَالَ: وَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ: {وَيُؤْثِرُونَ عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَلَوْ كَانَ بِهِمْ خَصَاصَةٌ} [الحشر: ٩]، تَلَا الْآيَةَ. رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ مُسَدَّدٍ، وَأَخْرَجَهُ مُسْلِمٌ مِنْ أوْجُهٍ عَنْ فُضَيْلِ بْنِ غَزْوَانَ.
Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: A man came to him (peace and blessings be upon him), so he (peace and blessings be upon him) sent word to his wives, and they said: "We have nothing but water." So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then who will host this guest?" A man of the Ansar said: "I will." Then he took him to his home and said to his wife: "This is the guest of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him); honour him." She said: "I have kept only the children's food." He said: "Prepare the food, put out the lamp and put the children to sleep." So when they intended to eat, his wife prepared the food, adjusted the lamp and put the children to sleep. Then she stood up as if to adjust the lamp and put it out, and the two of them kept making him think that they too were eating, and they spent the night hungry. When morning came, he went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This night Allah laughed," or he said: "marvelled, because of your deed." And Allah Almighty revealed this verse: "And they give preference to others over themselves, even though they themselves are in need" [Al-Hashr: 9].
