حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ ، وَحَامِدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْبَكْرَاوِيُّ ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى الْقَيْسِيُّ ، كُلُّهُمْ عَنِ الْمُعْتَمِرِ ، وَاللَّفْظُ لاِبْنِ مُعَاذٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ أَبِي ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عُثْمَانَ ، أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، أَنَّ أَصْحَابَ الصُّفَّةِ ، كَانُوا نَاسًا فُقَرَاءَ ، وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ مَرَّةً: مَنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ طَعَامُ اثْنَيْنِ فَلْيَذْهَبْ بِثَلاَثَةٍ ، وَمَنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ طَعَامُ أَرْبَعَةٍ فَلْيَذْهَبْ بِخَامِسٍ ، بِسَادِسٍ ، أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ : وَإِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ جَاءَ بِثَلاَثَةٍ ، وَانْطَلَقَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِعَشَرَةٍ ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ بِثَلاَثَةٍ ، قَالَ : فَهُوَ وَأَنَا وَأَبِي وَأُمِّي ، وَلاَ أَدْرِي هَلْ قَالَ : وَامْرَأَتِي وَخَادِمٌ بَيْنَ بَيْتِنَا وَبَيْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، قَالَ : وَإِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ تَعَشَّى عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، ثُمَّ لَبِثَ حَتَّى صُلِّيَتِ الْعِشَاءُ ، ثُمَّ رَجَعَ ، فَلَبِثَ حَتَّى نَعَسَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَجَاءَ بَعْدَ مَا مَضَى مِنَ اللَّيْلِ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ، قَالَتْ لَهُ امْرَأَتُهُ : مَا حَبَسَكَ عَنْ أَضْيَافِكَ ، أَو قَالَتْ : ضَيْفِكَ ؟ قَالَ : أَوَ مَا عَشَّيْتِهِمْ ؟ قَالَتْ : أَبَوْا حَتَّى تَجِيءَ ، قَدْ عَرَضُوا عَلَيْهِمْ فَغَلَبُوهُمْ ، قَالَ: فَذَهَبْتُ أَنَا فَاخْتَبَأْتُ ، وَقَالَ: يَا غُنْثَرُ ، فَجَدَّعَ وَسَبَّ ، وَقَالَ : كُلُوا لاَ هَنِيئًا ، وَقَالَ: وَاللَّهِ لاَ أَطْعَمُهُ أَبَدًا ، قَالَ: فَايْمُ اللهِ ، مَا كُنَّا نَأْخُذُ مِنْ لُقْمَةٍ إِلاَّ رَبَا مِنْ أَسْفَلِهَا أَكْثَرَ مِنْهَا ، قَالَ: حَتَّى شَبِعْنَا وَصَارَتْ أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا كَانَتْ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ ، فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَإِذَا هِيَ كَمَا هِيَ ، أَوْ أَكْثَرُ ، قَالَ لاِمْرَأَتِهِ : يَا أُخْتَ بَنِي فِرَاسٍ مَا هَذَا ؟ قَالَتْ : لاَ وَقُرَّةِ عَيْنِي ، لَهِيَ الآنَ أَكْثَرُ مِنْهَا قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ بِثَلاَثِ مِرَارٍ ، قَالَ : فَأَكَلَ مِنْهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، وَقَالَ: إِنَّمَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ يَعْنِي يَمِينَهُ ، ثُمَّ أَكَلَ مِنْهَا لُقْمَةً ، ثُمَّ حَمَلَهَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَصْبَحَتْ عِنْدَهُ ، قَالَ: وَكَانَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ قَوْمٍ عَقْدٌ ، فَمَضَى الأَجَلُ فَعَرَّفْنَا اثْنَا عَشَرَ رَجُلاً مَعَ كُلِّ رَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ أُنَاسٌ اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ كَمْ مَعَ كُلِّ رَجُلٍ ، إِلاَّ أَنَّهُ بَعَثَ مَعَهُمْ فَأَكَلُوا مِنْهَا أَجْمَعُونَ ، أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ.
'Abdur-Rahman bin Abi Bakr narrated that the people of As-Suffah were poor people, and on one occasion the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "Whoever has enough food for two people, let him take three with him, and whoever has enough food for four people, let him take a fifth or a sixth with him," or words to that effect. Abu Bakr took three people with him and the Prophet of Allah (s.a.w) took ten. Abu Bakr took three" and he (the narrator) said: "That was me and my father and my mother" - and I do not know if he said: - "and my wife and a servant whom we shared with the household of Abu Bakr." "Abu Bakr ate dinner with the Prophet (s.a.w), then he stayed until 'Isha' prayer was offered, then he went back and stayed until the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) became drowsy, and he came after as much of the night had passed as Allah willed. His wife said to him: "What kept you away from your guests?" Or she said: "Your guest." He said: "Have you not given them dinner?" She said: "They refused (to eat) until you came." They brought the food to them, but they insisted on not eating. I went and hid myself, and he said: "O ignorant fellow!" And he reprimanded me and berated me. He said: "Eat, but you may not enjoy it." And he said: "By Allah, I will never eat it. By Allah, we did not take any morsel but there appeared beneath it more of it, until we had eaten our fill and there was more of it than before." Abu Bakr looked at it and saw that it was as it had been before or more than that. He said to his wife: "O sister of Banu Firas, what is this?" She said: "No, O apple of my eye, now it is three times more than it was before." Abu Bakr ate some of it and said: "That was from the Shaitan" - meaning his oath. Then he ate a morsel of it and took it to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w), and the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) found it in the morning." He said: "There was a treaty between us and some people which came to an end, and we were divided into twelve groups, each of which was headed by a man, and Allah knows best how many were with each man. But the Prophet (s.a.w) sent a leader with each group, and all of them ate from it."

"When a person dies, his works end, except for three: ongoing charity, knowledge that is benefited from, and a righteous child who prays for him."
Prophet Mohammed (PBUH)
"The best of what a man leaves behind are three: a righteous child who supplicates for him, ongoing charity the reward of which reaches him, and knowledge that is acted upon after him."
Sunan Ibn Mājah
"Every day two angels come down from Heaven and one of them says, 'O Allah! Compensate every person who spends in Your Cause,' and the other (angel) says, 'O Allah! Destroy every miser.'"
