وَقَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عَوْنٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، قَالَ:
سَافَرَ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَأَرْمَلُوا، فَمَرُّوا بِحَيٍّ مِنَ الْأَعْرَابِ فَسَأَلُوهُمُ الْقِرَى فَأَبَوْا، فَسَأَلُوهُمُ الشِّرَى فَأَبَوْا فَضَبَطُوهُمْ، فَأَصَابُوا مِنْ طَعَامِهِمْ، فَذَهَبَتِ الْأَعْرَابُ إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ يَشْكُونَهُمْ، فَأَشْفَقَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ: تَمْنَعُونَ ابْنَ السَّبِيلِ مَا يَخْلُقُ اللهُ بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ فِي ضُرُوعِ الْإِبِلِ وَالْغَنَمِ ؟ لَابْنُ السَّبِيلِ أَحَقُّ بِالْمَاءِ مِنَ الْبَانِي عَلَيْهِ

✧ Some of the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ traveled and ran out of provisions. They passed by a Bedouin tribe and asked them for hospitality, but they refused. Then they asked to buy from them, but they refused. So they seized them and took some of their food. The Bedouins went to ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb ؓ complaining about them, and the Anṣār became worried. ʿUmar ؓ said: "Do you deny the wayfarer what Allah creates night and day in the udders of camels and sheep? The wayfarer has more right to the water than the one who builds a structure over it."
