أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو يَعْلَى حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ أَبَانَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ
أَصَابَنِي جَهْدٌ شَدِيدٌ فَلَقِيتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ فَاسْتَقْرَأْتُهُ آيَةً مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ فَدَخَلَ دَارَهُ وَفَتَحَهَا عَلَيَّ قَالَ فَمَشَيْتُ غَيْرَ بَعِيدٍ فَخَرَرْتُ لِوَجْهِي مِنَ الْجَهْدِ فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَائِمٌ عَلَى رَأْسِي فَقَالَ «يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ» قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَسَعْدَيْكَ قَالَ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي فَأَقَامَنِي وَعَرَفَ الَّذِي بِي فَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى رَحْلِهِ فَأَمَرَ لِي بِعُسٍّ مِنْ لَبَنٍ فَشَرِبْتُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «عُدْ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ» فَعُدْتُ فَشَرِبْتُ حَتَّى اسْتَوَى بَطْنِي وَصَارَ كَالْقِدْحِ قَالَ وَرَأَيْتُ عُمَرَ فَذَكَرْتُ الَّذِي كَانَ مِنْ أَمْرِي وَقُلْتُ لَهُ مَنْ كَانَ أَحَقَّ بِهِ مِنْكَ يَا عُمَرُ؟ وَاللَّهِ لَقَدِ اسْتَقْرَأْتُكَ الْآيَةَ وَلَأَنَا أَقْرَأُ لَهَا مِنْكَ قَالَ عُمَرُ وَاللَّهِ لَأَنْ أَكُونَ أَدْخَلْتُكَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ يَكُونَ لِي حُمْرُ النَّعَمِ

✧ Severe hardship befell me. I met Umar b. al-Khattab ؓ and asked him to recite a verse from the Book of Allah to me. He entered his house and recited it to me. Then I walked a short distance and fell on my face from hunger. Suddenly the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was standing over my head, and he said, 'O Abu Hurayrah.' I said, 'At your service, O Messenger of Allah.' He took me by the hand and helped me stand, and he recognized what was wrong with me. He went to his mount and ordered a large bowl of milk for me, and I drank. Then he said, 'Drink again, O Abu Hurayrah.' I drank again until my stomach became full and like a cup. He said: I then saw Umar and mentioned what had happened to me, and I said to him, 'Who was more deserving of it than you, O Umar? By Allah, I asked you to recite the verse, and I can recite it better than you.' Umar said, 'By Allah, if I had let you in [to my house], that would be more beloved to me than having red camels.'
