حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَيُّوبُ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ
جُعْتُ مَرَّةً بِالْمَدِينَةِ جُوعًا شَدِيدًا، فَخَرَجْتُ أَطْلُبُ الْعَمَلَ فِي عَوَالِي الْمَدِينَةِ، فَإِذَا أَنَا بِامْرَأَةٍ قَدْ جَمَعَتْ مَدَرًا، فَظَنَنْتُهَا تُرِيدُ بَلَّهُ، فَأَتَيْتُهَا، فَقَاطَعْتُهَا كُلَّ ذَنُوبٍ عَلَى تَمْرَةٍ، فَمَدَدْتُ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ ذَنُوبًا حَتَّى مَجَلَتْ يَدَايَ، ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ الْمَاءَ، فَأَصَبْتُ مِنْهُ، ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهَا فَقُلْتُ: بِكَفَّيَّ هَكَذَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهَا، وَبَسَطَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ يَدَيْهِ وَجَمَعَهُمَا، فَعَدَّتْ لِي سِتَّ عَشْرَةَ تَمْرَةً، فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ، فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ، فَأَكَلَ مَعِي مِنْهَا

✧ I once became extremely hungry in Madinah. I went out seeking work in the outskirts of Madinah. Then I came upon a woman who had gathered mud, and I thought she wanted to moisten it. I went to her and contracted with her for each bucket of water for a date. I drew sixteen buckets until my hands became calloused. Then I went to the water and drank from it. Then I came to her and said: With my hands like this before her – Ismail spread his hands and brought them together – and she counted for me sixteen dates. I came to the Prophet ﷺ and told him, and he ate with me from them.
