   دَعَانِي أُسَيْدُ بْنُ حُضَيْرٍ فَقَطَعْتُ لَهُ عِرْقَ النَّسَا، فَحَدَّثَنِي بِحَدِيثَيْنِ، قَالَ: أَتَانِي أَهْلُ بَيْتَيْنِ مِنْ قَوْمِي: أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ مِنْ بَنِي ظَفَرٍ، وَأَهْلُ بَيْتٍ مِنْ بَنِي مُعَاوِيَةَ، فَقَالُوا: كَلِّمْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقْسِمُ لَنَا - أَوْ يُعْطِينَا أَوْ نَحْوٌ مِنْ هَذَا - فَكَلَّمْتُهُ، فَقَالَ: نَعَمْ أَقْسِمُ لِكُلِّ أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ مِنْهُمْ شَطْرًا فَإِنْ عَادَ اللهُ عَلَيْنَا عُدْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ: قَالَ: قُلْتُ: جَزَاكَ اللهُ خَيْرًا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ. قَالَ: " وَأَنْتُمْ فَجَزَاكُمُ اللهُ خَيْرًا فَإِنَّكُمْ - مَا عَلِمْتُكُمْ - أَعِفَّةٌ صُبُرٌ

   ✧ Usayd b. Hudayr invited me, and I cauterized his sciatic nerve, and he narrated two hadiths to me. He said, "Two households of my people came to me: a household from Banu Zafar and a household from Banu Mu'awiya, and they said, 'Speak to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he apportion for us—or give us—or something like that.' So I spoke to him, and he said, 'Yes, I will apportion for each household among them a share, and if Allah restores to us, we will restore to them.'" He said, "I said, 'May Allah reward you well, O Messenger of Allah.' He said, 'And you too, may Allah reward you well, for you are—as far as I know—chaste and patient.'"
