وَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ: حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الزُّهْرِيُّ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُلَيْحٍ، ثَنَا أَبُو صَالِحٍ، مَوْلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَيَّاشِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَامِرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ:
بَعَثَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي سَرِيَّةِ نَخْلَةَ وَمَعَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ سُرَاقَةَ، وَكَانَ رَجُلًا لَطِيفَ الْبَطْنِ، طَوِيلًا فَجَاعَ فَانْثَنَى صُلْبُهُ، فَكَانَ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَمْشِيَ، فَسَقَطَ عَلَيْنَا، فَأَخَذْنَا صَفِيحَةً مِنْ حِجَارَةٍ فَرَبَطْنَاهَا عَلَى بَطْنِهِ، ثُمَّ شَدَدْنَاهَا إِلَى صُلْبِهِ، فَمَشَى مَعَنَا، فَجِئْنَا حَيًّا مِنَ الْعَرَبِ فَضَيَّفُونَا فَمَشَى مَعَنَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: كُنْتُ أَحْسَبُ: الرِّجْلَيْنِ يَحْمِلَانِ الْبَطْنَ، فَإِذَا الْبَطْنُ يَحْمِلُ الرِّجْلَيْنِ

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent us in the expedition of Nakhlah, and with us was 'Amr ibn Suraqah. He was a man with a delicate stomach, tall. He became hungry and his back bent, so he could not walk. He fell upon us, so we took a slab of stones and tied it to his stomach, then fastened it to his back, and he walked with us. We came to a tribe of Arabs and they hosted us, and he walked with us. Then he said: I used to think that the two legs carry the stomach, but now I see that the stomach carries the two legs.
