حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبَانَ، ثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ وَهْبٍ الْعَلَّافُ، ثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْإِمَامُ، ثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ:
أَخْطَأَنِي الْعَشَاءُ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، وَأَخْطَأَنِي أَنْ يَدْعُوَنِي أَحَدٌ مِنْ إِخْوَانِنَا، فَصَلَّيْتُ الْعِشَاءَ، ثُمَّ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَنَامَ فَلَمْ أَقْدِرْ، وَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ فَلَمْ أَقْدِرْ، فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ عِنْدَ حُجْرَةِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَإِذَا هُوَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي، فَصَلَّى ثُمَّ اسْتَنَدَ إِلَى السَّارِيَةِ الَّتِي كَانَ يُصَلِّي إِلَيْهَا، فَقَالَ: " مَنْ هَذَا ؟ أَبُو هِرٍّ ؟ " قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: أَخْطَأَكَ الْعَشَاءُ مَعَنَا اللَّيْلَةَ ؟ " قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: " انْطَلِقْ إِلَى الْمَنْزِلِ فَقُلْ: هَلُمُّوا الطَّعَامَ الَّذِي عِنْدَكُمْ "، فَأَعْطَوْنِي صَحْفَةً فِيهَا عَصِيدَةٌ بِتَمْرٍ، فَأَتَيْتُ بِهَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَوَضَعْتُهَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، فَقَالَ لِي: " ادْعُ لِيَ أَهْلَ الْمَسْجِدِ "، فَقُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي: الْوَيْلُ لِي، مِمَّا أَرَى مِنْ قِلَّةِ الطَّعَامِ، وَالْوَيْلُ لِي مِنَ الْمَعْصِيَةِ، فَآتِي الرَّجُلَ وَهُوَ نَائِمٌ فَأُوقِظُهُ، وَأَقُولُ: أَجِبْ، وَآتِي الرَّجُلَ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي، فَأَقُولُ: أَجِبْ، حَتَّى اجْتَمَعُوا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فَوَضَعَ أَصَابِعَهُ فِيهَا، وَغَمَزَ نَوَاحِيَهَا، وَقَالَ: " كُلُوا بِسْمِ اللهِ "، فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا، وَأَكَلْتُ حَتَّى شَبِعْتُ، فَقَالَ: " خُذْهَا يَا أَبَا هِرٍّ، فَارْدُدْهَا إِلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، فَمَا فِي آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ طَعَامٌ يَأْكُلُهُ ذُو كَبِدٍ غَيْرُهُ، أَهْدَاهَا إِلَيْنَا رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ "، فَأَخَذْتُ الصَّحْفَةَ فَرَفَعْتُهَا، فَإِذَا هِيَ كَهَيْئَتِهَا حِينَ وَضَعْتُهَا، إِلَّا أَنَّ فِيهَا آثَارَ خُطُوطِ أَصَابِعِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ

✧ I missed the evening meal one night with the Prophet ﷺ, and none of our brothers called me. I prayed the evening prayer, then I wanted to sleep but could not, and I wanted to pray but could not. Then there was a man at the Prophet's room, so I went to him and found it was the Messenger of God ﷺ praying. He prayed, then leaned against the pillar toward which he had prayed and said: Who is this? Abu Hirr? I said: Yes. He said: Did you miss the evening meal with us tonight? I said: Yes. He said: Go to the house and say: Bring the food that you have. They gave me a bowl containing porridge with dates. I brought it to the Prophet ﷺ and placed it before him. He said to me: Call the people of the mosque for me. I said to myself: Woe to me from the little food I see, and woe to me from disobedience. I would come to a man sleeping and wake him, saying: Respond. I would come to a man praying, saying: Respond. Until they gathered at the Prophet ﷺ. He placed his fingers in it and pressed its sides, and said: Eat in the name of God. They ate until they were full, and I ate until I was full. He said: Take it, O Abu Hirr, and return it to the family of Muhammad, for there is no food in the family of Muhammad that any living being eats other than it. A man from the Ansar gave it to us as a gift. I took the bowl and lifted it, and it was as it had been when I placed it, except that it bore the traces of the lines of the fingers of the Prophet ﷺ.
