The Expedition of al-Khandaq (the Confederates)
[ الْبَرَكَةُ فِي تَمْرِ ابْنَةِ بَشِيرٍ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَحَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ مِينَا أَنَّهُ حُدِّثَ: أَنَّ ابْنَةً لِبَشِيرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، أُخْتِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ، قَالَتْ: دَعَتْنِي أُمِّي عَمْرَةُ بِنْتُ رَوَاحَةَ، فَأَعْطَتْنِي حَفْنَةً مِنْ تَمْرٍ فِي ثَوْبِي، ثُمَّ قَالَتْ: أَيْ بُنَيَّةُ. اذْهَبِي إلَى أَبِيكَ وَخَالِكَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رَوَاحَةَ بِغَدَائِهِمَا، قَالَتْ: فَأَخَذْتهَا، فَانْطَلَقْتُ بِهَا، فَمَرَرْتُ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا أَلْتَمِسُ أَبِي وَخَالِي، فَقَالَ: تَعَالَيْ يَا بُنَيَّةُ، مَا هَذَا مَعَكَ ؟ قَالَتْ: فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، هَذَا تَمْرٌ، بَعَثَتْنِي بِهِ أُمِّي إلَى أَبِي بَشِيرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، وَخَالِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رَوَاحَةَ يَتَغَدَّيَانِهِ، قَالَ: هَاتِيهِ، قَالَتْ: فَصَبَبْتُهُ فِي كَفَّيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، فَمَا مَلَأَتْهُمَا، ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِثَوْبِ فَبُسِطَ لَهُ، ثُمَّ دَحَا بِالتَّمْرِ عَلَيْهِ، فَتَبَدَّدَ فَوْقَ الثَّوْبِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ لِإِنْسَانِ عِنْدَهُ: اُصْرُخْ فِي أَهْلِ الْخَنْدَقِ: أَنْ هَلُمَّ إلَى الْغَدَاءِ. فَاجْتَمَعَ أَهْلُ الْخَنْدَقِ عَلَيْهِ، فَجَعَلُوا يَأْكُلُونَ مِنْهُ، وَجَعَلَ يَزِيدُ، حَتَّى صَدَرَ أَهْلُ الْخَنْدَقِ عَنْهُ، وَإِنَّهُ لَيَسْقُطُ مِنْ أَطْرَافِ الثَّوْبِ.
Translation
✧ [ The Blessing in the Dates of the Daughter of Bashīr ] Ibn Isḥāq said: Saʿīd b. Mīnā narrated to me that it was narrated to him: that a daughter of Bashīr b. Saʿd, the sister of al-Nuʿmān b. Bashīr, said: My mother ʿAmrah bt. Rawāḥah called me and gave me a handful of dates in my garment, then said: O my little daughter, go to your father and your maternal uncle ʿAbd Allāh b. Rawāḥah with their midday meal. She said: I took it and set off with it. I passed by the Messenger of God ﷺ while I was looking for my father and my maternal uncle. He said: Come here, O my little daughter, what is this with you? She said: I said: O Messenger of God, these are dates; my mother sent me with them to my father Bashīr b. Saʿd and my maternal uncle ʿAbd Allāh b. Rawāḥah so that they may have their midday meal. He said: Give them to me. She said: So I poured them into the palms of the Messenger of God ﷺ, and they did not fill them. Then he ordered a garment, and it was spread for him. Then he emptied the dates onto it, and they scattered over the garment. Then he said to a person near him: Cry out among the people of the trench: Come to the midday meal. The people of the trench gathered around it and began eating from it, and it kept increasing, until the people of the trench turned away from it, and it was still falling from the edges of the garment.
