Musnad Ahmad 23818

Translation

✧ When we arrived in Madinah, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ divided us into groups of ten—meaning, in each house. He said, 'I was in the group of ten in which the Prophet ﷺ was.' He said, 'We had only one sheep whose milk we would share.' He said, 'When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was late in coming to us, we would drink and leave his share for the Prophet ﷺ. One night he was late, and we slept. Al-Miqdad b. al-Aswad said, "The Prophet ﷺ has been long; I do not think he will come tonight. Perhaps someone invited him."' He said, 'So I drank it. Then later in the night he came and entered the house.' He said, 'After I drank it, I could not sleep.' He said, 'When he entered, he greeted without raising his voice, then went to the bowl, and when he saw nothing in it, he was silent. Then he said, "O Allah, feed the one who fed us tonight."' He said, 'I jumped up, took the knife, and went to the sheep.' He said, 'What is the matter with you?' I said, 'I will slaughter it.' He said, 'No. Bring me the sheep.' So I brought it to him, and he wiped its udder, and something came out, then he drank and slept.
