al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 4700

Translation

✧ 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.
