حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَهْلٍ التَّمِيمِيُّ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ بِهْرَامَ وَأَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَقَ قَالَ ابْنُ سَهْلٍ حَدَّثَنَا و قَالَ الْآخَرَانِ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ أَخْبَرَنِي سَالِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ انْطَلَقَ ثَلَاثَةُ رَهْطٍ مِمَّنْ کَانَ قَبْلَکُمْ حَتَّی آوَاهُمْ الْمَبِيتُ إِلَی غَارٍ وَاقْتَصَّ الْحَدِيثَ بِمَعْنَی حَدِيثِ نَافِعٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ اللَّهُمَّ کَانَ لِي أَبَوَانِ شَيْخَانِ کَبِيرَانِ فَکُنْتُ لَا أَغْبِقُ قَبْلَهُمَا أَهْلًا وَلَا مَالًا وَقَالَ فَامْتَنَعَتْ مِنِّي حَتَّی أَلَمَّتْ بِهَا سَنَةٌ مِنْ السِّنِينَ فَجَائَتْنِي فَأَعْطَيْتُهَا عِشْرِينَ وَمِائَةَ دِينَارٍ وَقَالَ فَثَمَّرْتُ أَجْرَهُ حَتَّی کَثُرَتْ مِنْهُ الْأَمْوَالُ فَارْتَعَجَتْ وَقَالَ فَخَرَجُوا مِنْ الْغَارِ يَمْشُونَ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 6951
Abdullah b 'Umar reported: I heard Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: Three persons belonging to the earlier Ummahs set out on a journey until they had to spend a night in a cave. The rest of the hadith is the same and the additional words are: A person amongst them said: O Allah, I had my aged parents and I served them milk before I (served that) to my wife, children and my servants. And in case of the second one, the words are: She avoided me until she was hard pressed because of famine and she came to me and I gave her one hundred and twenty dinars. And in case of the third one (the words are): I invested his wages, and it brought profit and, as a result thereof, the merchandise increased and there was an abundance of goods. And he (the narrator said) that they got out of the cave and began to walk.
