حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي الْمُقَدَّمِيُّ ثنا فُضَيْلُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ثنا فَائِدٌ مَوْلَى عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ أَنَّ جَدَّتَهُ سَلْمَى أَخْبَرَتْهُ
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بَعَثَ إِلَى أَبِي رَافِعٍ بِشَاةٍ وَذَلِكَ يَوْمَ الْخَنْدَقِ فِيمَا أَعْلَمُ فَصَلَاهَا أَبُو رَافِعٍ وَجَعَلَهَا فِي مِكْتَلٍ ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ بِهَا فَلَقِيَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رَاجِعًا مِنَ الْخَنْدَقِ فَقَالَ لَهُ «يَا أَبَا رَافِعٍ نَاوِلْنِي الذِّرَاعَ» فَنَاوَلْتُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا أَبَا رَافِعٍ نَاوِلْنِي الذِّرَاعَ» فَنَاوَلْتُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا أَبَا رَافِعٍ نَاوِلْنِي الذِّرَاعَ» فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَلْ لِلشَّاةِ إِلَّا ذِرَاعَيْنِ؟ فَقَالَ «لَوْ سَكَتَّ لَنَاوَلْتَنِي مَا سَأَلْتُكَ»

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent a sheep to Abū Rāfiʿ, and that was on the day of the trench, as far as I know. Abū Rāfiʿ roasted it and put it in a basket, then set off with it. The Prophet ﷺ met him returning from the trench and said to him, “O Abū Rāfiʿ, hand me the foreleg.” So I handed it to him. Then he said, “O Abū Rāfiʿ, hand me the foreleg.” So I handed it to him. Then he said, “O Abū Rāfiʿ, hand me the foreleg.” He said, “O Messenger of Allah, does a sheep have more than two forelegs?” He said, “If you had kept silent, you would have handed me whatever I asked for.”
