The increment of milk of the people of AlSufaa
Imam Ahmad relates that Abu Huraira was saying,
“I swear to Allah The Exalted, I sometimes was not able to stand because of hunger. One day, I sat down by the road which was used by most people, then Abu Bakar passed and I asked him about a verse in the Qur’an Karim. I only asked, so that he invites me but he never did.
Then Umar passed and I asked him about a verse in the Qur’an. I only asked, so that he invites me, but he did not.
Then Abu Qassim – the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) passed, he knew by the look on face, he called
“O Abu Huraira !,”
I said: Here I am O Messenger of Allah.
He said: “The truth”,
I asked for his permission (to follow him) and he accepted. I followed him and we found a bowl of milk.
He asked, “Where is this milk from?”
They said: It is a present from so and so, the family of so and so.
He called, “Abu Huraira”
I said: Here I am O Messenger of Allah.
The Prophet said, “Go to the people of Al-Sufaa and call them”.
Abu Huraira explained that: the people of AlSufaa were guests of Islam, they did not have any
relatives nor property.
Whenever the Prophet received any present, he sent to them part of it.
Abu Huraira said: Calling of the people of AlSufaa made me sad because I wanted to take a
drink from the milk that would strengthen me for the rest of my day and night. The milk was not
enough for all of us but I had to obey Allah and His Messenger.
They came and the Prophet asked them to sit down and ordered me to serve them.
A man would drink until he is satisfied and then I pass it to another and he also drinks until he is satisfied.
I continued this, until I served the last one of them. I then gave it to the Messenger of Allah. He
took the bowl with a little milk in it and placed it in his hands, then raised his head and smiled and
said,
“We are the only two remaining (not having drunk)”.
I said, “That is true”.
Then the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) told me to sit down and drink. I sat down and drunk and he kept telling me to drink. I proceeded drinking until I told him I could not drink any more.
I gave him back the bowl and he drunk what was remaining.
