قَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ يَحْيَى، ثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عِيسَى، ثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ، يَقُولُ:
خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عِنْدَ الظَّهِيرَةِ فَوَجَدَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ ؓ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، فَقَالَ: « مَا أَخْرَجَكَ فِي هَذِهِ السَّاعَةِ ؟ » فَقَالَ ؓ: أَخْرَجَنِي الَّذِي أَخْرَجَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ. وَجَاءَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ، فَقَالَ ﷺ: « مَا أَخْرَجَكَ يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ؟ » قَالَ ؓ: أَخْرَجَنِي الَّذِي أَخْرَجَكُمَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَقَعَدَ عُمَرُ ؓ وَأَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُحَدِّثُهُمَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: « هَلْ بِكُمَا قُوَّةٌ تَنْطَلِقَانِ إِلَى هَذَا النَّخْلِ، فَتُصِيبَانِ طَعَامًا وَشَرَابًا وَظِلًّا » قَالَ: قُلْنَا: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: « مُرُّوا بِنَا إِلَى مَنْزِلِ أَبِي الْهَيْثَمِ بْنِ التَّيِّهَانِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ » فَتَقَدَّمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ أَيْدِينَا فَسَلَّمَ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَأُمُّ الْهَيْثَمِ ؓ وَرَاءَ الْبَابِ تَسْمَعُ الْكَلَامَ وَتُرِيدُ أَنْ يَزِيدَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ ﷺ أَنْ يَنْصَرِفَ خَرَجَتْ أُمُّ الْهَيْثَمِ ؓ خَلْفَهُمْ، فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَدْ سَمِعْتُ وَاللهِ تَسْلِيمَكَ، وَلَكِنْ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ تَزِيدَنَا مِنْ سَلَامِكَ، فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ خَيْرًا، وَقَالَ: « أَيْنَ أَبُو الْهَيْثَمِ ؟ مَا أَرَاهُ » قَالَتْ: هُوَ قَرِيبٌ، ذَهَبَ يَسْتَعْذِبُ لَنَا الْمَاءَ، ادْخُلُوا، فَإِنَّهُ يَأْتِي السَّاعَةَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ تَعَالَى، فَبَسَطَتْ لَهُمْ بِسَاطًا تَحْتَ شَجَرَةٍ، فَجَاءَ أَبُو الْهَيْثَمِ وَفَرِحَ بِهِمْ، وَقَرَّتْ عَيْنُهُ بِهِمْ، وَصَعِدَ عَلَى نَخْلَةٍ فَصَرَمَ عِذْقًا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: « حَسْبُكَ يَا أَبَا الْهَيْثَمِ ». قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، تَأْكُلُونَ مِنْ رُطَبِهِ وَمِنْ بُسْرِهِ وَمِنْ تَذْنُوبِهِ، ثُمَّ أَتَاهُمْ بِمَاءٍ فَشَرِبُوا عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: « هَذَا مِنَ النَّعِيمِ الَّذِي تُسْأَلُونَ عَنْهُ ». وَقَامَتْ أُمُّ الْهَيْثَمِ ؓ تَعْجِنُ لَهُمْ وَتَخْبِزُ، وَوَضَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ رُؤُوسَهُمْ لِلْقَائِلَةِ، فَانْتَبَهُوا وَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ طَعَامُهُمْ، فَوُضِعَ الطَّعَامُ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ فَأَكَلُوا وَشَبِعُوا، وَحَمِدُوا اللهَ تَعَالَى، وَرَدَّتْ عَلَيْهِمْ أُمُّ الْهَيْثَمِ ؓ بَقِيَّةَ الْعِذْقِ، فَأَكَلُوا مِنْ رُطَبِهِ وَمِنْ تَذْنُوبِهِ، فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَدَعَا لَهُمْ

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out at noon and found Abu Bakr ؓ in the mosque. He said: «What brought you out at this hour?» He ؓ replied: “The one who brought you out, O Messenger of Allah, brought me out.” Then ʿUmar b. al-Khattab ؓ came, and he ﷺ said: «What brought you out, O Ibn al-Khattab?» He ؓ said: “The one who brought you both out, O Messenger of Allah, brought me out.” Then ʿUmar ؓ sat down, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ began talking to them. Then he said: «Do you have the strength to go to this palm grove, so that you may get food, drink, and shade?» He said: We said: “Yes.” He said: «Come with us to the house of Abu al-Haytham b. al-Tayyihan al-Ansari.» The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went ahead of us, greeted, and sought permission three times, while Umm al-Haytham ؓ was behind the door listening to the words and wanting the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to grant her more of his greeting. When he ﷺ was about to leave, Umm al-Haytham ؓ came out behind them and said: “O Messenger of Allah, by Allah I heard your greeting, but I wanted you to increase us in your greeting.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said good words to her and said: «Where is Abu al-Haytham? I do not see him.» She said: “He is nearby; he went to fetch us fresh water. Enter, for he will come soon, if Allah, exalted, wills.” She spread a mat for them under a tree. Then Abu al-Haytham came and rejoiced at them, and his eye was comforted by them. He climbed a palm tree and cut a bunch of dates. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: «That is enough for you, O Abu al-Haytham.» He said: “O Messenger of Allah, you will eat from its ripe dates, its unripe dates, and its hanging clusters.” Then he brought them water, and they drank after it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: «This is part of the bliss about which you will be asked.» Then Umm al-Haytham ؓ stood up to knead dough for them and bake bread. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ, Abu Bakr, and ʿUmar lay down for the midday nap. They woke up when their food was ready. The food was placed before them, and they ate until they were full and praised Allah, exalted. Umm al-Haytham ؓ returned to them the rest of the bunch, and they ate from its ripe dates and its clusters. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ greeted them and supplicated for them.
