حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ يَبْلُغُ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ
طَعَامُ الِاثْنَيْنِ كَافِي الثَّلَاثَةِ، وَالثَّلَاثَةِ كَافِي الْأَرْبَعَةِ، إِنَّمَا مَثَلِي وَمَثَلُ النَّاسِ كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ اسْتَوْقَدَ نَارًا، فَلَمَّا أَضَاءَتْ مَا حَوْلَهُ جَعَلَ الْفَرَاشُ وَالدَّوَابُّ تَتَقَحَّمُ فِيهَا، فَأَنَا آخِذٌ بِحُجَزِكُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ تَوَاقَعُونَ فِيهَا، وَمَثَلُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ بَنَى بُنْيَانًا فَأَحْسَنَهُ وَأَكْمَلَهُ وَأَجْمَلَهُ، فَجَعَلَ النَّاسُ يُطِيفُونَ بِهِ يَقُولُونَ: مَا رَأَيْنَا بِنَاءً أَحْسَنَ مِنْ هَذَا، إِلَّا هَذِهِ الثُّلْمَةَ فَأَنَا تِلْكَ الثُّلْمَةُ

✧ The food of two is sufficient for three, and the food of three is sufficient for four. My likeness and the likeness of the people is like a man who lit a fire, and when it illuminated what was around him, moths and creatures began falling into it. I am holding onto your waist-wrappers while you are plunging into it. And the likeness of the prophets is like a man who built a structure, made it excellent, complete, and beautiful. People began going around it, saying, 'We have not seen a structure more beautiful than this, except for this gap.' I am that gap.
