عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «غَطُّوا الْإِنَاءَ، وَأَوْكُوا السِّقَاءَ، فَإِنَّ فِي السَّنَةِ لَيْلَةً يَنْزِلُ فِيهَا وَبَاءٌ، لَا يَمُرُّ بِإِنَاءٍ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ غِطَاءٌ، أَوْ سِقَاءٍ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ وِكَاءٌ، إِلَّا نَزَلَ فِيهِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْوَبَاءِ».
ألله الذي لا إله إلا هو إن كنت لَأَعتمد بكبدي على الأرض من الجوع
عَنْ أَبي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: أَللَّهِ الَّذِي لاَ إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ إِنْ كُنْتُ لَأَعْتَمِدُ بِكَبِدِي عَلَى الأَرْضِ مِنَ الجُوعِ، وَإِنْ كُنْتُ لَأَشُدُّ الحَجَرَ عَلَى بَطْنِي مِنَ الجُوعِ، وَلَقَدْ قَعَدْتُ يَوْمًا عَلَى طَرِيقِهِمُ الَّذِي يَخْرُجُونَ مِنْهُ، فَمَرَّ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ آيَةٍ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ، مَا سَأَلْتُهُ إِلَّا لِيُشْبِعَنِي، فَمَرَّ وَلَمْ يَفْعَلْ، ثُمَّ مَرَّ بِي عُمَرُ، فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ آيَةٍ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ، مَا سَأَلْتُهُ إِلَّا لِيُشْبِعَنِي، فَمَرَّ فَلَمْ يَفْعَلْ، ثُمَّ مَرَّ بِي أَبُو القَاسِمِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَتَبَسَّمَ حِينَ رَآنِي، وَعَرَفَ مَا فِي نَفْسِي وَمَا فِي وَجْهِي، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «يَا أَبَا هِرٍّ» قُلْتُ: لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: «الْحَقْ» وَمَضَى فَتَبِعْتُهُ، فَدَخَلَ، فَاسْتَأْذَنَ، فَأُذِنَ لِي، فَدَخَلَ، فَوَجَدَ لَبَنًا فِي قَدَحٍ، فَقَالَ: «مِنْ أَيْنَ هَذَا اللَّبَنُ؟» قَالُوا: أَهْدَاهُ لَكَ فُلاَنٌ أَوْ فُلاَنَةُ، قَالَ: «أَبَا هِرٍّ» قُلْتُ: لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: «الْحَقْ إِلَى أَهْلِ الصُّفَّةِ، فَادْعُهُمْ لِي» قَالَ: وَأَهْلُ الصُّفَّةِ أَضْيَافُ الإِسْلَامِ، لَا يَأْوُونَ إِلَى أَهْلٍ وَلَا مَالٍ وَلَا عَلَى أَحَدٍ، إِذَا أَتَتْهُ صَدَقَةٌ بَعَثَ بِهَا إِلَيْهِمْ وَلَمْ يَتَنَاوَلْ مِنْهَا شَيْئًا، وَإِذَا أَتَتْهُ هَدِيَّةٌ أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِمْ، وَأَصَابَ مِنْهَا وَأَشْرَكَهُمْ فِيهَا، فَسَاءَنِي ذَلِكَ، فَقُلْتُ: وَمَا هَذَا اللَّبَنُ فِي أَهْلِ الصُّفَّةِ، كُنْتُ أَحَقُّ أَنَا أَنْ أُصِيبَ مِنْ هَذَا اللَّبَنِ شَرْبَةً أَتَقَوَّى بِهَا، فَإِذَا جَاءَ أَمَرَنِي، فَكُنْتُ أَنَا أُعْطِيهِمْ، وَمَا عَسَى أَنْ يَبْلُغَنِي مِنْ هَذَا اللَّبَنِ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مِنْ طَاعَةِ اللَّهِ وَطَاعَةِ رَسُولِهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بُدٌّ، فَأَتَيْتُهُمْ فَدَعَوْتُهُمْ فَأَقْبَلُوا، فَاسْتَأْذَنُوا فَأَذِنَ لَهُمْ، وَأَخَذُوا مَجَالِسَهُمْ مِنَ البَيْتِ، قَالَ: «يَا أَبَا هِرٍّ» قُلْتُ: لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: «خُذْ فَأَعْطِهِمْ» قَالَ: فَأَخَذْتُ القَدَحَ، فَجَعَلْتُ أُعْطِيهِ الرَّجُلَ فَيَشْرَبُ حَتَّى يَرْوَى، ثُمَّ يَرُدُّ عَلَيَّ القَدَحَ، فَأُعْطِيهِ الرَّجُلَ فَيَشْرَبُ حَتَّى يَرْوَى، ثُمَّ يَرُدُّ عَلَيَّ القَدَحَ فَيَشْرَبُ حَتَّى يَرْوَى، ثُمَّ يَرُدُّ عَلَيَّ القَدَحَ، حَتَّى انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَدْ رَوِيَ القَوْمُ كُلُّهُمْ، فَأَخَذَ القَدَحَ فَوَضَعَهُ عَلَى يَدِهِ، فَنَظَرَ إِلَيَّ فَتَبَسَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «أَبَا هِرٍّ» قُلْتُ: لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: «بَقِيتُ أَنَا وَأَنْتَ» قُلْتُ: صَدَقْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: «اقْعُدْ فَاشْرَبْ» فَقَعَدْتُ فَشَرِبْتُ، فَقَالَ: «اشْرَبْ» فَشَرِبْتُ، فَمَا زَالَ يَقُولُ: «اشْرَبْ» حَتَّى قُلْتُ: لَا وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالحَقِّ، مَا أَجِدُ لَهُ مَسْلَكًا، قَالَ: «فَأَرِنِي» فَأَعْطَيْتُهُ القَدَحَ، فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَسَمَّى وَشَرِبَ الفَضْلَةَ.
اللهم أطعم من أطعمني وأسق من أسقاني
عَنِ الْمِقْدَادِ قَالَ: أَقْبَلْتُ أَنَا وَصَاحِبَانِ لِي، وَقَدْ ذَهَبَتْ أَسْمَاعُنَا وَأَبْصَارُنَا مِنَ الْجَهْدِ، فَجَعَلْنَا نَعْرِضُ أَنْفُسَنَا عَلَى أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ يَقْبَلُنَا، فَأَتَيْنَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَانْطَلَقَ بِنَا إِلَى أَهْلِهِ، فَإِذَا ثَلَاثَةُ أَعْنُزٍ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «احْتَلِبُوا هَذَا اللَّبَنَ بَيْنَنَا»، قَالَ: فَكُنَّا نَحْتَلِبُ فَيَشْرَبُ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنَّا نَصِيبَهُ، وَنَرْفَعُ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَصِيبَهُ، قَالَ: فَيَجِيءُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَيُسَلِّمُ تَسْلِيمًا لَا يُوقِظُ نَائِمًا، وَيُسْمِعُ الْيَقْظَانَ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ يَأْتِي الْمَسْجِدَ فَيُصَلِّي، ثُمَّ يَأْتِي شَرَابَهُ فَيَشْرَبُ، فَأَتَانِي الشَّيْطَانُ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ وَقَدْ شَرِبْتُ نَصِيبِي، فَقَالَ: مُحَمَّدٌ يَأْتِي الْأَنْصَارَ فَيُتْحِفُونَهُ، وَيُصِيبُ عِنْدَهُمْ، مَا بِهِ حَاجَةٌ إِلَى هَذِهِ الْجَرْعَةِ، فَأَتَيْتُهَا فَشَرِبْتُهَا، فَلَمَّا أَنْ وَغَلَتْ فِي بَطْنِي، وَعَلِمْتُ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ إِلَيْهَا سَبِيلٌ، قَالَ: نَدَّمَنِي الشَّيْطَانُ، فَقَالَ: وَيْحَكَ، مَا صَنَعْتَ أَشَرِبْتَ شَرَابَ مُحَمَّدٍ، فَيَجِيءُ فَلَا يَجِدُهُ فَيَدْعُو عَلَيْكَ فَتَهْلِكُ فَتَذْهَبُ دُنْيَاكَ وَآخِرَتُكَ، وَعَلَيَّ شَمْلَةٌ إِذَا وَضَعْتُهَا عَلَى قَدَمَيَّ خَرَجَ رَأْسِي، وَإِذَا وَضَعْتُهَا عَلَى رَأْسِي خَرَجَ قَدَمَايَ، وَجَعَلَ لَا يَجِيئُنِي النَّوْمُ، وَأَمَّا صَاحِبَايَ فَنَامَا وَلَمْ يَصْنَعَا مَا صَنَعْتُ، قَالَ: فَجَاءَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَسَلَّمَ كَمَا كَانَ يُسَلِّمُ، ثُمَّ أَتَى الْمَسْجِدَ فَصَلَّى، ثُمَّ أَتَى شَرَابَهُ فَكَشَفَ عَنْهُ، فَلَمْ يَجِدْ فِيهِ شَيْئًا، فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ، فَقُلْتُ: الْآنَ يَدْعُو عَلَيَّ فَأَهْلِكُ، فَقَالَ: «اللهُمَّ أَطْعِمْ مَنْ أَطْعَمَنِي، وَأَسْقِ مَنْ أَسْقَانِي»، قَالَ: فَعَمَدْتُ إِلَى الشَّمْلَةِ فَشَدَدْتُهَا عَلَيَّ، وَأَخَذْتُ الشَّفْرَةَ، فَانْطَلَقْتُ إِلَى الْأَعْنُزِ أَيُّهَا أَسْمَنُ، فَأَذْبَحُهَا لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَإِذَا هِيَ حَافِلَةٌ، وَإِذَا هُنَّ حُفَّلٌ كُلُّهُنَّ، فَعَمَدْتُ إِلَى إِنَاءٍ لِآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا كَانُوا يَطْمَعُونَ أَنْ يَحْتَلِبُوا فِيهِ، قَالَ: فَحَلَبْتُ فِيهِ حَتَّى عَلَتْهُ رَغْوَةٌ، فَجِئْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «أَشَرِبْتُمْ شَرَابَكُمُ اللَّيْلَةَ»، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، اشْرَبْ، فَشَرِبَ، ثُمَّ نَاوَلَنِي، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، اشْرَبْ، فَشَرِبَ، ثُمَّ نَاوَلَنِي، فَلَمَّا عَرَفْتُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ رَوِيَ وَأَصَبْتُ دَعْوَتَهُ، ضَحِكْتُ حَتَّى أُلْقِيتُ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِحْدَى سَوْآتِكَ يَا مِقْدَادُ»، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، كَانَ مِنْ أَمْرِي كَذَا وَكَذَا وَفَعَلْتُ كَذَا، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا هَذِهِ إِلَّا رَحْمَةٌ مِنَ اللهِ، أَفَلَا كُنْتَ آذَنْتَنِي فَنُوقِظَ صَاحِبَيْنَا فَيُصِيبَانِ مِنْهَا»، قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ: وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا أُبَالِي إِذَا أَصَبْتَهَا وَأَصَبْتُهَا مَعَكَ مَنْ أَصَابَهَا مِنَ النَّاسِ.
