| Narrated Abu Huraira: Once while I was in a state of fatigue (because of severe hunger). I met 'Umar bin Al-Khattab. so I asked him to recite a verse from Allah's Book to me. He entered his house and interpreted it to me. (Then I went out and) after walking for a short distance. I fell on my face because of fatigue and severe hunger. Suddenly I saw Allah's Apostle standing by my head. He said. "O Abu Huraira!" I replied. "Labbaik. O Allah's Apostle. and Sadaik!" Then he held me by the hand. and made me get up. Then he came to know what I was suffering from. He took me to his house. and ordered a big bowl of milk for me. I drank thereof and he said. "Drink more. O Abu Hirr!" So I drank again. whereupon he again said. "Drink more." So I drank more till my belly became full and looked like a bowl. Afterwards I met 'Umar and mentioned to him what had happened to me. and said to him. "Somebody. who had more right than you. O 'Umar. took over the case. By Allah. I asked you to recite a Verse to me while I knew it better than you." On that Umar said to me. "By Allah. if I admitted and entertained you. it would have been dearer to me than having nice red camels. Volume 7. Book 65. Number 287i | |
