حَدَّثَنَي سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو غَسَّانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو حَازِمٍ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ قَالَ کَانَتْ فِينَا امْرَأَةٌ تَجْعَلُ عَلَی أَرْبِعَائَ فِي مَزْرَعَةٍ لَهَا سِلْقًا فَکَانَتْ إِذَا کَانَ يَوْمُ جُمُعَةٍ تَنْزِعُ أُصُولَ السِّلْقِ فَتَجْعَلُهُ فِي قِدْرٍ ثُمَّ تَجْعَلُ عَلَيْهِ قَبْضَةً مِنْ شَعِيرٍ تَطْحَنُهَا فَتَکُونُ أُصُولُ السِّلْقِ عَرْقَهُ وَکُنَّا نَنْصَرِفُ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْجُمُعَةِ فَنُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْهَا فَتُقَرِّبُ ذَلِکَ الطَّعَامَ إِلَيْنَا فَنَلْعَقُهُ وَکُنَّا نَتَمَنَّی يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ لِطَعَامِهَا ذَلِکَ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 938
Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d: There was a woman amongst us who had a farm and she used to sow Silq (a kind of vegetable) on the edges of streams in her farm. On Fridays she used to pull out the Silq from its roots and put the roots in a utensil. Then she would put a handful of powdered barley over it and cook it. The roots of the Silq were a substitute for meat. After finishing the Jumua prayer we used to greet her and she would give us that food which we would eat with our hands, and because of that meal, we used to look forward to Friday.
