أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مَوْلَى ثَقِيفٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْجَوْهَرِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ كَيْسَانَ عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَصَابَنِي الْجَهْدُ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى نِسَائِهِ فَلَمْ يَجِدْ عِنْدَهُمْ شَيْئًا فَقَالَ «أَلَا رَجُلٌ يُضَيِّفُهُ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةَ؟ » فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَذَهَبَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ فَقَالَ لِامْرَأَتِهِ ضَيْفُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَا تَدَّخِرِي عَنْهُ شَيْئًا فَقَالَتْ وَاللَّهِ مَا عِنْدِي إِلَّا قُوتُ الصِّبْيَةِ قَالَ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ الصِّبْيَةُ الْعَشَاءَ فَنَوِّمِيهِمْ وَتَعَالِي فَأَطْفِئِي السَّرَّاجَ وَنَطْوِي بُطُونَنَا اللَّيْلَةَ فَفَعَلَتْ ثُمَّ غَدَا الرَّجُلُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ ﷺ «لَقَدْ عَجِبَ اللَّهُ أَوْ ضَحِكَ اللَّهُ مِنْ فُلَانٍ وَفُلَانَةَ» فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ {وَيُؤْثِرُونَ عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَلَوْ كَانَ بِهِمْ خَصَاصَةٌ}

✧ A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, “O Messenger of Allah, I have been stricken by hardship.” So he sent to his wives but found nothing with them. He said, “Is there not a man who will host him tonight?” A man from the Helpers stood up and said, “I will, O Messenger of Allah.” He went to his family and said to his wife, “A guest of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is here; do not withhold anything from him.” She said, “By Allah, I have nothing but the children’s food.” He said, “When the children want supper, put them to sleep, and come and extinguish the lamp, and we will tighten our bellies tonight.” She did so. Then the man went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the morning, and he ﷺ said, “Allah has indeed wondered—or laughed—at so-and-so and so-and-so.” Then Allah revealed: “And they prefer others over themselves, even though they are in privation.”
