Did you squeeze it? She said: Yes. Thereupon he said: If you had left it in that very state, it would have kept on provid- ing you (the clarified butter) on end. (Using translation from Muslim 2280)   

أحمد:١٤٧٤٠حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ

عَنِ الْبَهْزِيَّةِ أُمِّ مَالِكٍ كَانَتْ تُهْدِي فِي عُكَّةٍ لَهَا سَمْنًا لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَبَيْنَمَا بَنُوهَا يَسْأَلُونَهَا عَنْ إِدَامٍ وَلَيْسَ عِنْدَهَا شَيْءٌ فَعَمَدَتْ إِلَى نِحْيِهَا الَّتِي كَانَتْ تُهْدِي فِيهِ السَّمْنَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَوَجَدَتْ فِيهِ سَمْنًا فَمَا زَالَ يُقِيمُ لَهَا إِدَامَ بَنِيهَا حَتَّى عَصَرَتْهُ فَأَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَعَصَرْتِيهِ؟ فَقَالَتْ نَعَمْ قَالَ لَوْ تَرَكْتِيهِ مَا زَالَ ذَلِكَ مُقِيمًا

ahmad:14664Ḥasan > Ibn Lahīʿah > Abū al-Zubayr > Jābir

[Machine] Um Malik Al-Bahziyyah used to send clarified butter to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as a gift. One day, her sons asked her for clarified butter, but she did not have any. So she looked in the container that she used to send to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and found some clarified butter in it. She kept a portion of it for herself until the evening and then brought it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He asked her, "Did you squeeze it?" She replied, "Yes." He said, "If you had left it, it would have remained as a permanent provision for you."
