وَقَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ: حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، ثَنَا أَبُو رَافِعٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ كَعْبٍ الْقُرَظِيَّ، يُحَدِّثُ بِأَنَّ أَهْلَ الْعِرَاقِ، أَصَابَتْهُمْ أَزْمَةٌ، فَقَامَ بَيْنَهُمْ عَلِيٌّ ؓ، فَقَالَ: أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَبْشِرُوا فَوَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ لَا يَمُرَّ عَلَيْكُمْ إِلَّا يَسِيرٌ حَتَّى تَرَوْا مَا يَسُرُّكُمْ مِنَ الرَّخَاءِ وَالْيُسْرِ، قَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي بَكَيْتُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ مِنَ الدَّهْرِ، مَا أَجِدُ شَيْئًا آكُلُهُ حَتَّى خَشِيتُ أَنْ يَقْتُلَنِي الْجُوعُ، فَأَرْسَلْتُ فَاطِمَةَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ تَسْتَطْعِمُهُ لِي، فَقَالَ ﷺ:

« يَا بُنَيَّةُ وَاللهِ مَا فِي الْبَيْتِ طَعَامٌ يَأْكُلُهُ ذُو كَبِدٍ إِلَّا مَا تَرَيْ - لِشَيْءٍ قَلِيلٍ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ - وَلَكِنِ ارْجِعِي فَسَيَرْزُقُكُمُ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى » فَلَمَّا جَاءَتْنِي فَأَخْبَرَتْنِي، انْقَلَبْتُ وَذَهَبْتُ حَتَّى آتِيَ بَنِي قُرَيْظَةَ، فَإِذَا يَهُودِيٌّ عَلَى شَفِيرِ بِئْرٍ، فَقَالَ: يَا عَلِيُّ هَلْ لَكَ أَنْ تَسْقِيَ نَخْلًا لِي وَأُطْعِمَكَ ؟ قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، فَبَايَعْتُهُ عَلَى أَنْ أَنْزِعَ كُلَّ دَلْوٍ بِتَمْرَةٍ، فَجَعَلْتُ أَنْزِعُ، فَكُلَّمَا نَزَعْتُ دَلْوًا أَعْطَانِي تَمْرَةً حَتَّى امْتَلَأَتْ يَدَايَ مِنَ التَّمْرِ، فَقَعَدْتُ فَأَكَلْتُ، ثُمَّ شَرِبْتُ مِنَ الْمَاءِ، ثُمَّ قُلْتُ: يَا لَكَ بَطِنًا، لَقَدْ لَقِيتُ الْيَوْمَ خَيْرًا، ثُمَّ نَزَعْتُ كَذَلِكَ لِابْنَةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ وَضَعْتُ، فَانْقَلَبْتُ رَاجِعًا حَتَّى إِذَا كُنْتُ بِبَعْضِ الطَّرِيقِ إِذَا أَنَا بِدِينَارٍ مُلْقًى، فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُهُ وَقَفْتُ أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ وَأُؤَامِرُ نَفْسِي لِآخُذَهُ أَمْ أَذَرَهُ، فَأَبَيْتُ إِلَّا أَخْذَهُ، وَقُلْتُ: أَسْتَشِيرُ بِنْتَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخَذْتُهُ، فَلَمَّا جِئْتُهَا أَخْبَرْتُهَا الْخَبَرَ، فَقَالَتْ: هَذَا رِزْقٌ مِنَ اللهِ تَعَالَى، فَانْطَلِقْ فَاشْتَرِ لَنَا دَقِيقًا، فَانْطَلَقْتُ حَتَّى جِئْتُ السُّوقَ، فَإِذَا أَنَا بِيَهُودِيٍّ مِنْ يَهُودِ فَدَكَ يَبِيعُ دَقِيقًا مِنْ دَقِيقِ الشَّعِيرِ، فَاشْتَرَيْتُ مِنْهُ، فَلَمَّا اكْتَلْتُ قَالَ: مَا أَنْتَ لِأَبِي الْقَاسِمِ ؟ قُلْتُ: ابْنُ عَمِّي وَابْنَتُهُ امْرَأَتِي، فَأَعْطَانِي الدِّينَارَ فَجِئْتُهَا فَأَخْبَرْتُهَا الْخَبَرَ، فَقَالَتْ: هَذَا رِزْقٌ مِنَ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، فَاذْهَبْ بِهِ فَارْهَنْهُ بِثَمَانِيَةِ قَرَارِيطَ، ذَهَبٌ فِي لَحْمٍ فَفَعَلْتُ، ثُمَّ جِئْتُهَا بِهِ فَقَطَّعْتُهُ لَهَا، وَنَصَبَتْ ثُمَّ عَجَنَتْ وَخَبَزَتْ ثُمَّ صَنَعْنَا طَعَامًا، وَأَرْسَلْنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ، فَجَاءَنَا، فَلَمَّا رَأَى الطَّعَامَ قَالَ: « مَا هَذَا ؟ أَلَمْ تَأْتِنِي آنِفًا تَسْأَلُنِي ؟ » فَقُلْنَا: بَلَى، اجْلِسْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ نُخْبِرْكَ الْخَبَرَ، فَإِنْ رَأَيْتَهُ طَيِّبًا أَكَلْتَ وَأَكَلْنَا، فَأَخْبَرْنَاهُ الْخَبَرَ، فَقَالَ: « هُوَ طَيِّبٌ، فَكُلُوا بِاسْمِ اللهِ »، ثُمَّ قَامَ ﷺ فَخَرَجَ، فَإِذَا هُوَ بِأَعْرَابِيَّةٍ تَشْتَدُّ كَأَنَّهُ نُزِعَ فُؤَادُهَا، فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَبِي أَبْضَعَ مَعِي بِدِينَارٍ فَسَقَطَ مِنِّي، وَاللهِ مَا أَدْرِي أَيْنَ سَقَطَ، فَانْظُرْ بِأَبِي وَأُمِّي أَنْ يُذْكَرَ لَكَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: « ادْعِي لِي عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ » فَجِئْتُهُ ﷺ، فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: « اذْهَبْ إِلَى الْجَزَّارِ فَقُلْ لَهُ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَكَ: إِنَّ قَرَارِيطَكَ عَلَيَّ، فَأَرْسِلْ بِالدِّينَارِ » فَأَرْسَلَ بِهِ، فَأَعْطَاهُ الْأَعْرَابِيَّةَ فَذَهَبَتْ.

✧ "O my little daughter, by Allah, there is no food in the house for any liver to eat except what you see – for a small thing in front of him – but go back, for Allah, Blessed and Exalted, will provide for you." When she came to me and told me, I left and went until I came to Banu Qurayzah, and there was a Jew at the edge of a well. He said: O 'Ali, would you water some palm trees of mine and I will feed you? I said: Yes, so I made a deal with him to draw every bucket for a date. I began drawing, and every time I drew a bucket he gave me a date, until my hands were full of dates. I sat down and ate, then drank from the water. Then I said: Woe to you, stomach, today I met good. Then I drew likewise for the daughter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, then I placed it down, and I set off returning. When I was on part of the road, I saw a dinar thrown. When I saw it, I stopped looking at it and debating with myself whether to take it or leave it. I refused except to take it, and I said: I will consult the daughter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, so I took it. When I came to her, I told her the news. She said: This is provision from Allah Almighty, so go and buy flour for us. I went to the market, and there was a Jew from the Jews of Fadak selling barley flour. I bought from him, and when I measured it, he said: Are you not from Abu al-Qasim? I said: His cousin, and his daughter is my wife. So he gave me back the dinar. I came to her and told her the news. She said: This is provision from Allah, Mighty and Majestic, so go and pawn it for eight carats of gold with meat. I did, then I brought it to her and cut it for her. She set up, kneaded, and baked, then we made food and sent for the Messenger of Allah. He came to us, and when he saw the food, he said: "What is this? Did you not come to me just now asking me?" We said: Yes, sit, O Messenger of Allah, and we will tell you the news. If you consider it good, you will eat and we will eat. We told him the news, and he said: "It is good, so eat in the name of Allah." Then he ﷺ stood up and went out, and there was a Bedouin woman rushing as if her heart had been torn out. She said: O Messenger of Allah, my father sent me with a dinar, and it fell from me. By Allah, I do not know where it fell. Please, by my father and mother, see if it is mentioned to you. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Call 'Ali ibn Abi Talib for me." I came to him ﷺ, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: "Go to the butcher and tell him: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ says to you: Your carats are on me, so send the dinar." He sent it, and he gave it to the Bedouin woman, so she went away.
