وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ، ثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ أَرْقَمَ، عَنْ مُطَيْرِ بْنِ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبَجَلِيِّ، عَنْ سَفِينَةَ ؓ صَاحِبِ زَادِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ:
أَهْدَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ طَيْرَيْنِ بَيْنَ رَغِيفَيْنِ، وَكَانَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ فِي الْبَيْتِ غَيْرِي وَغَيْرُ أَنَسٍ ؓ، فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَدَعَا بِالْغَدَاءِ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَدْ أَهْدَتْ لَكَ امْرَأَةٌ هَدِيَّةً، فَقَدَّمْتُ إِلَيْهِ الطَّيْرَيْنِ فَقَالَ ﷺ: اللَّهُمَّ ائْتِنِي بِأَحَبِّ خَلْقِكَ - أَحْسَبُهُ قَالَ - إِلَيْكَ وَإِلَى رَسُولِكِ قَالَ: فَجَاءَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ فَضَرَبَ الْبَابَ ضَرْبًا خَفِيفًا، فَقُلْتُ: مَنْ هَذَا ؟ قَالَ: أَبُو الْحَسَنِ، ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ وَرَفَعَ صَوْتَهُ، فَقَالَ ﷺ: " مَنْ هَذَا ؟ " قُلْتُ: عَلِيٌّ، فَقَالَ ﷺ: " افْتَحْ لَهُ " فَفَتَحْتُ فَأَكَلَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنَ الطَّيْرَيْنِ حَتَّى فَنِيَا

✧ A woman from the Ansar gifted the Messenger of Allah ﷺ two birds between two loaves of bread, while he was in the mosque, and there was no one in the house except me and Anas ؓ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and called for lunch, so I said, "O Messenger of Allah, a woman has given you a gift," and I presented the two birds to him. He ﷺ said, "O Allah, bring me the most beloved of Your creation — I think he said — to You and to Your Messenger." He said: Then Ali ؓ came and knocked on the door lightly. I said, "Who is this?" He said, "Abu al-Hasan." Then he knocked again and raised his voice, and he ﷺ said, "Who is this?" I said, "Ali." He ﷺ said, "Open for him." So I opened, and he ate with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from the two birds until they were finished.
