حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ دَاوُدَ عَنْ فُضَيْلِ بْنِ غَزْوَانَ عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَی النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَبَعَثَ إِلَی نِسَائِهِ فَقُلْنَ مَا مَعَنَا إِلَّا الْمَائُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ يَضُمُّ أَوْ يُضِيفُ هَذَا فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ أَنَا فَانْطَلَقَ بِهِ إِلَی امْرَأَتِهِ فَقَالَ أَکْرِمِي ضَيْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَتْ مَا عِنْدَنَا إِلَّا قُوتُ صِبْيَانِي فَقَالَ هَيِّئِي طَعَامَکِ وَأَصْبِحِي سِرَاجَکِ وَنَوِّمِي صِبْيَانَکِ إِذَا أَرَادُوا عَشَائً فَهَيَّأَتْ طَعَامَهَا وَأَصْبَحَتْ سِرَاجَهَا وَنَوَّمَتْ صِبْيَانَهَا ثُمَّ قَامَتْ کَأَنَّهَا تُصْلِحُ سِرَاجَهَا فَأَطْفَأَتْهُ فَجَعَلَا يُرِيَانِهِ أَنَّهُمَا يَأْکُلَانِ فَبَاتَا طَاوِيَيْنِ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ غَدَا إِلَی رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ ضَحِکَ اللَّهُ اللَّيْلَةَ أَوْ عَجِبَ مِنْ فَعَالِکُمَا فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ وَيُؤْثِرُونَ عَلَی أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَلَوْ کَانَ بِهِمْ خَصَاصَةٌ وَمَنْ يُوقَ شُحَّ نَفْسِهِ فَأُولَئِکَ هُمْ الْمُفْلِحُونَ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 3799
Narrated Anas bin Malik: Abu Bakr and Al-`Abbas passed by one of the gatherings of the Ansar who were weeping then. He (i.e. Abu Bakr or Al-`Abbas) asked, "Why are you weeping?" They replied, "We are weeping because we remember the gathering of the Prophet with us." So Abu Bakr went to the Prophet and told him of that. The Prophet came out, tying his head with a piece of the hem of a sheet. He ascended the pulpit which he never ascended after that day. He glorified and praised Allah and then said, "I request you to take care of the Ansar as they are my near companions to whom I confided my private secrets. They have fulfilled their obligations and rights which were enjoined on them but there remains what is for them. So, accept the good of the good-doers amongst them and excuse the wrongdoers amongst them."
