حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ خُثَيْمَةَ عَنْ أَبِيحُذَيْفَةَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ اسْمُهُ سَلَمَةُ بْنُ الْهَيْثَمِ بْنِ صُهَيْبٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ قَالَ
كُنَّا إِذَا حَضَرْنَا مَعَ [رَسُولِ اللهِ] ﷺ عَلَى طَعَامٍ لَمْ نَضَعْ أَيْدِيَنَا حَتَّى يَبْدَأَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَيَضَعَ يَدَهُ، وَإِنَّا حَضَرْنَا مَعَهُ طَعَامًا، فَجَاءَتْ جَارِيَةٌ كَأَنَّمَا تُدْفَعُ فَذَهَبَتْ تَضَعُ يَدَهَا فِي الطَّعَامِ، فَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِيَدِهَا، وَجَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ كَأَنَّمَا يُدْفَعُ فَذَهَبَ يَضَعُ يَدَهُ فِي الطَّعَامِ، فَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِيَدِهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَسْتَحِلُّ الطَّعَامَ إِذَا لَمْ يُذْكَرِ اسْمُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ، وَإِنَّهُ جَاءَ بِهَذِهِ الْجَارِيَةِ لِيَسْتَحِلَّ بِهَا فَأَخَذْتُ بِيَدِهَا، وَجَاءَ بِهَذَا الْأَعْرَابِيِّ لِيَسْتَحِلَّ بِهِ فَأَخَذْتُ بِيَدِهِ، وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، إِنَّ يَدَهُ فِي يَدِي مَعَ يَدِهِمَا. يَعْنِي: الشَّيْطَانَ

✧ When we were present with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at a meal, we would not put our hands in until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ started and placed his hand. Once we were present with him at a meal, and a slave girl came as if she were being pushed, and she went to put her hand in the food. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ took hold of her hand. Then a bedouin came as if he were being pushed, and he went to put his hand in the food. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ took hold of his hand. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Satan considers food lawful when Allah's name is not mentioned over it. He brought this slave girl to make it lawful through her, so I took hold of her hand, and he brought this bedouin to make it lawful through him, so I took hold of his hand. By the One in whose hand is my soul, his hand is in my hand along with their hands—meaning Satan.'

هذا خطأ رواه الأعمش عن خيثمة عن أبي حذيفة الأرحبي عن حذيفة وليس هو من حديث زيد بن وهب فقلت لهما الوهم ممن هو قالا من معمر
machine translationThis is an error. Al-Aʿmash narrated it from Khaythamah, from Abū Ḥudhayfah al-Arḥabī, from Ḥudhayfah, and it is not from the hadith of Zayd b. Wahb. So I said to the two of them: "Who is the source of the mistake (wahm)?" They said: "From Maʿmar."
