وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ:

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لِيُضَيِّفَهُ، فَلَمْ يَكُنْ عِنْدَهُ مَا يُضِيفُهُ، فَقَالَ: أَلَا رَجُلٌ يُضِيفُ هَذَا، رَحِمَهُ اللهُ ؟ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ، فَانْطَلَقَ بِهِ إِلَى رَحْلِهِ، فَقَالَ لِامْرَأَتِهِ: أَكْرِمِي ضَيْفَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَتْ: وَاللهِ مَا عِنْدَنَا إِلَّا قُوتُ الصِّبْيَةِ، فَقَالَ لَهَا: نَوِّمِي الصِّبْيَةَ، وَأَضِيئِي السِّرَاجَ، وَقَرِّبِيهِ إِلَى ضَيْفِ رَسُولِ اللهِ، ﷺ، وَأَرِيهِ كَأَنَّا نَطْعَمُ مَعَهُ، وَأَطْفِئِي السِّرَاجَ، وَاتْرُكِيهِ لِضَيْفِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَفَعَلَتْ. قَالَ: وَأَتَى أَبُو طَلْحَةَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مِنَ الْغَدِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " لَقَدْ عَجِبَ اللهُ - أَوْ: ضَحِكَ - مِنْ فُلَانٍ وَفُلَانَةٍ " يَعْنِي: أَبَا طَلْحَةَ وَامْرَأَتَهُ، وَأَنْزَلَ فِيهِمْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ: وَيُؤْثِرُونَ عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَلَوْ كَانَ بِهِمْ خَصَاصَةٌ

  1. Abū Hurayrah

✧ A man came to the Messenger of God ﷺ seeking hospitality, but he did not have anything to host him with. He said, "Is there any man who will host this one, may God have mercy on him?" A man from the Ansar came and took him to his home. He said to his wife, "Honor the guest of the Messenger of God ﷺ." She said, "By God, we have nothing but the children's food." He said, "Put the children to sleep, light the lamp, and bring it near to the guest of the Messenger of God ﷺ, and make him think we are eating with him. Then extinguish the lamp and leave it to the guest of the Messenger of God ﷺ." She did so. He said: Abu Talhah came to the Prophet ﷺ the next day, and the Messenger of God ﷺ said, "God has marveled—or: laughed—at so-and-so and so-and-so," meaning Abu Talhah and his wife. And He revealed about them this verse: "And they prefer others over themselves, even if they are in privation."
