[Machine] We came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while we were forty men and four hundred women asking him for food. The Prophet ﷺ said to Umar, "Stand up and give them." Umar said, "O Messenger of Allah, I only have what keeps me awake and the children." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Waki' is the sustenance mentioned in the speech of the Arabs for four months." Umar stood up and we stood with him, then he took us to a room of his and took out the key from his container and opened the door. He said, "Enter." So we entered the room and found a pile of dates resembling the heap of Rabid. He said, "Take what each one of you needs." Then he turned around and I was the last to leave, as if we had not taken a date from it.
أَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ أَرْبَعُونَ وَأَرْبَعُ مِائَةٍ نَسْأَلُهُ الطَّعَامَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لِعُمَرَ قُمْ فَأَعْطِهِمْ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا عِنْدِي إِلَّا مَا يَقِيظُنِي وَالصِّبْيَةَ؟ قَالَ وَكِيعٌ الْقَيْظُ فِي كَلَامِ الْعَرَبِ أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ قَالَ قُمْ فَأَعْطِهِمْ قَالَ عُمَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ سَمْعًا وَطَاعَةً قَالَ فَقَامَ عُمَرُ وَقُمْنَا مَعَهُ فَصَعِدَ بِنَا إِلَى غُرْفَةٍ لَهُ فَأَخْرَجَ الْمِفْتَاحَ مِنْ حُجْزَتِهِ فَفَتَحَ الْبَابَ قَالَ دُكَيْنٌ فَإِذَا فِي الْغُرْفَةِ مِنَ التَّمْرِ شَبِيهٌ بِالْفَصِيلِ الرَّابِضِ قَالَ شَأْنَكُمْ قَالَ فَأَخَذَ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنَّا حَاجَتَهُ مَا شَاءَ قَالَ ثُمَّ الْتَفَتُّ وَإِنِّي لَمِنْ آخِرِهِمْ وَكَأَنَّا لَمْ نَرْزَأْ مِنْهُ تَمْرَةً
