Hadith 2467
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ : " تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَعِنْدَنَا شَطْرٌ مِنْ شَعِيرٍ فَأَكَلْنَا مِنْهُ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ، ثُمَّ قُلْتُ لِلْجَارِيَةِ : كِيلِيهِ فَكَالَتْهُ ، فَلَمْ يَلْبَثْ أَنْ فَنِيَ ، قَالَتْ : فَلَوْ كُنَّا تَرَكْنَاهُ لَأَكَلْنَا مِنْهُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ " , قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ ، وَمَعْنَى قَوْلِهَا شَطْرٌ تَعْنِي شَيْئًا .
´'Aishah said :` " The Messenger of Allah(s.a.w) died and we had a Shatr of barley. We ate from it as Allah willed, then I said to the slave girl: 'Measure it' so she measured it, and it was not long before it was gone." She said: "If we had left it alone then we could have eaten from it more than that." [Her saying]: "Shatr" means a small quantity of barley.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation:
1:
In this hadith, there is advice for those living in poverty and hardship that they should not look towards the people of the world and the comforts available to them.
Rather, they should keep before them the lives of the Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and the purified wives (azwaj mutahharat),
and consider a life of poverty and deprivation as a means of felicity for themselves.
It is also understood from this that if food and drink are used without measuring or weighing, there is blessing in it.
And the hadith in which it is mentioned regarding weighing food that “there is blessing in weighing” refers to the occasion of selling food,
because at that time, it is a matter of both parties knowing their respective rights.
