حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُبَارَكٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الْمُطَّلِبُ بْنُ حَنْطَبٍ الْمَخْزُومِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي قَالَ
كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي غَزَاةٍ، فَأَصَابَ النَّاسَ مَخْمَصَةٌ، فَاسْتَأْذَنَ النَّاسُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي نَحْرِ بَعْضِ ظُهُورِهِمْ، وَقَالُوا: يُبَلِّغُنَا اللهُ بِهِ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَدْ هَمَّ أَنْ يَأْذَنَ لَهُمْ فِي نَحْرِ بَعْضِ ظَهْرِهِمْ، قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، كَيْفَ بِنَا إِذَا نَحْنُ لَقِينَا الْقَوْمَ غَدًا جِيَاعًا رِجَالًا، وَلَكِنْ إِنْ رَأَيْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَنْ تَدْعُوَ لَنَا بِبَقَايَا أَزْوَادِهِمْ فَتَجْمَعَهَا، ثُمَّ تَدْعُوَ اللهَ فِيهَا بِالْبَرَكَةِ، فَإِنَّ اللهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى سَيُبَلِّغُنَا بِدَعْوَتِكَ - أَوْ قَالَ سَيُبَارِكُ لَنَا فِي دَعْوَتِكَ -، فَدَعَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِبَقَايَا أَزْوَادِهِمْ، فَجَعَلَ النَّاسُ يَجِيئُونَ بِالْحَثْيَةِ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ وَفَوْقَ ذَلِكَ، وَكَانَ أَعْلَاهُمْ مَنْ جَاءَ بِصَاعٍ مِنْ تَمْرٍ، فَجَمَعَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، ثُمَّ قَامَ فَدَعَا مَا شَاءَ اللهُ أَنْ يَدْعُوَ، ثُمَّ دَعَا الْجَيْشَ بِأَوْعِيَتِهِمْ، فَأَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يَحْتَثُوا، فَمَا بَقِيَ فِي الْجَيْشِ وِعَاءٌ إِلَّا مَلَؤُوهُ وَبَقِيَ مِثْلُهُ، فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى بَدَتْ نَوَاجِذُهُ، فَقَالَ: أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنِّي رَسُولُ اللهِ، لَا يَلْقَى اللهَ عَبْدٌ مُؤْمِنٌ بِهَا إِلَّا حُجِبَتْ عَنْهُ النَّارُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ

✧ We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a raid, and the people were struck by severe hunger. The people asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for permission to slaughter some of their riding camels, and they said, “Allah will enable us to reach with it.” When ‘Umar b. al-Khattab saw that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was about to permit them to slaughter some of their riding camels, he said, “O Messenger of Allah, how will we be if we meet the people tomorrow hungry and on foot? But if you see fit, O Messenger of Allah, call for the remains of their provisions and gather them, then supplicate Allah for blessing in them, for Allah, Blessed and Exalted, will bring us through your supplication” – or he said, “He will bless us in your supplication.” So the Prophet ﷺ called for the remains of their provisions. The people began bringing handfuls of food and more than that, and the most anyone brought was a sa’ of dates. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gathered it all, then stood and supplicated as much as Allah willed him to supplicate. Then he called the army with their vessels and ordered them to scoop. Not a single vessel in the army remained but they filled it, and the same amount remained. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ laughed until his molars showed and said, “I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that I am the Messenger of Allah. No believing servant will meet Allah with these two without the Fire being veiled from him on the Day of Resurrection.”
