Sahih Muslim Book - 36, Hadith - 5315

حَدَّثَنِي حَجَّاجُ بْنُ الشَّاعِرِ ، حَدَّثَنِي الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ ، مِنْ رُقْعَةٍ عَارَضَ لِي بِهَا ، ثُمَّ قَرَأَهُ عَلَيَّ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَاهُ حَنْظَلَةُ بْنُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مِينَاءَ ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، يَقُولُ: لَمَّا حُفِرَ الْخَنْدَقُ رَأَيْتُ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَمَصًا ، فَانْكَفَأْتُ إِلَى امْرَأَتِي ، فَقُلْتُ لَهَا: هَلْ عِنْدَكِ شَيْءٌ ؟ فَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَمَصًا شَدِيدًا ، فَأَخْرَجَتْ لِي جِرَابًا فِيهِ صَاعٌ مِنْ شَعِيرٍ ، وَلَنَا بُهَيْمَةٌ دَاجِنٌ ، قَالَ : فَذَبَحْتُهَا وَطَحَنَتْ ، فَفَرَغَتْ إِلَى فَرَاغِي ، فَقَطَّعْتُهَا فِي بُرْمَتِهَا ، ثُمَّ وَلَّيْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَتْ : لاَ تَفْضَحْنِي بِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَنْ مَعَهُ ، قَالَ : فَجِئْتُهُ فَسَارَرْتُهُ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، إِنَّا قَدْ ذَبَحْنَا بُهَيْمَةً لَنَا ، وَطَحَنَتْ صَاعًا مِنْ شَعِيرٍ كَانَ عِنْدَنَا ، فَتَعَالَ أَنْتَ فِي نَفَرٍ مَعَكَ ، فَصَاحَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَقَالَ : يَا أَهْلَ الْخَنْدَقِ ، إِنَّ جَابِرًا قَدْ صَنَعَ لَكُمْ سُورًا فَحَيَّ هَلاً بِكُمْ ، وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : لاَ تُنْزِلُنَّ بُرْمَتَكُمْ ، وَلاَ تَخْبِزُنَّ عَجِينَتَكُمْ حَتَّى أَجِيءَ ، فَجِئْتُ وَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْدَمُ النَّاسَ حَتَّى جِئْتُ امْرَأَتِي ، فَقَالَتْ : بِكَ وَبِكَ ، فَقُلْتُ: قَدْ فَعَلْتُ الَّذِي قُلْتِ لِي ، فَأَخْرَجْتُ لَهُ عَجِينَتَنَا فَبَصَقَ فِيهَا وَبَارَكَ ، ثُمَّ عَمَدَ إِلَى بُرْمَتِنَا فَبَصَقَ فِيهَا وَبَارَكَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : ادْعِي خَابِزَةً فَلْتَخْبِزْ مَعَكِ ، وَاقْدَحِي مِنْ بُرْمَتِكُمْ وَلاَ تُنْزِلُوهَا وَهُمْ أَلْفٌ ، فَأُقْسِمُ بِاللَّهِ لأَكَلُوا حَتَّى تَرَكُوهُ وَانْحَرَفُوا ، وَإِنَّ بُرْمَتَنَا لَتَغِطُّ كَمَا هِيَ ، وَإِنَّ عَجِينَتَنَا ، أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ الضَّحَّاكُ : لَتُخْبَزُ كَمَا هُوَ.

Jabir bin 'Abdullah said: "When the ditch was dug (for the Battle of Trench), I saw that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) was very hungry. I went to my wife and said to her: 'Do you have anything? For I have seen that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) is very hungry.' She brought out a bag in which there was a Sa' of barley. We had a lamb, which I slaughtered, and she ground (the barley), and she finished when I finished. I cut up (the lamb) and put it in the pot, then I went back to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w). She said: 'Do not embarrass me before the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and those who are with him.' I came to him and whispered to him, (saying) 'O Messenger of Allah, we have slaughtered an animal of ours, and we have ground a Sa' of barley that we had, so come with a small group.' The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) called out: 'O People of the Ditch! Jabir had made food for you, come along! ' And the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said (to me): 'Do not move your pot from the hearth or bake your bread until I come." I came and the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) came ahead of the people. I came to my wife and she said: 'Woe to you, woe to you!' I said: 'I did what you told me.' She brought out our dough for him and he spat in it and blessed it. Then he went to our pot and spat in it and blessed it. Then he said: 'Call a woman to bake with you, and serve food from your pot but do not remove it from the hearth.' There were one thousand men, and I swear by Allah that they ate until they left and went away, and our pot was still brimming as before, and our dough was still being baked as before."
