ahmad:27195Khalaf b. al-Walīd > Abū Jaʿfar / al-Rāzī > Shuraḥbīl

[Machine] Narrated Abu Rafi Al-Qurashi, the slave of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ : A sheep was presented to him, so he put it in a pot to cook it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered and said: "What is this, O Abu Rafi?" He said: "A sheep has been presented to us, O Messenger of Allah, so I cooked it in the pot." He said: "Bring me the foreleg, O Abu Rafi." So I brought him the foreleg, then he said: "Bring me the other foreleg." So I brought him the other foreleg, then he said: "Bring me the other foreleg." Abu Rafi said: Then he said: "O Messenger of Allah! A sheep only has two forelegs." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: "If you had kept quiet, you would have brought me foreleg by foreleg, as many as they are, until I stop." Then he called for water, rinsed his mouth, washed the tips of his fingers, then he stood up and prayed. Then he returned to them, and found them with cold meat, so he ate. Then he went into the masjid and prayed, and he did not touch water.  

أحمد:٢٧١٩٥حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ يَعْنِي الرَّازِيَّ عَنْ شُرَحْبِيلَ

عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ أُهْدِيَتْ لَهُ شَاةٌ فَجَعَلَهَا فِي الْقِدْرِ فَدَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَا هَذَا يَا أَبَا رَافِعٍ؟ فَقَالَ شَاةٌ أُهْدِيَتْ لَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَطَبَخْتُهَا فِي الْقِدْرِ فَقَالَ نَاوِلْنِي الذِّرَاعَ يَا أَبَا رَافِعٍ فَنَاوَلْتُهُ الذِّرَاعَ ثُمَّ قَالَ نَاوِلْنِي الذِّرَاعَ الْآخَرَ فَنَاوَلْتُهُ الذِّرَاعَ الْآخَرَ ثُمَّ قَالَ نَاوِلْنِي الذِّرَاعَ الْآخَرَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّمَا لِلشَّاةِ ذِرَاعَانِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَوْ سَكَتَّ لَنَاوَلْتَنِي ذِرَاعًا فَذِرَاعًا مَا سَكَتَّ ثُمَّ دَعَا بِمَاءٍ فَمَضْمَضَ فَاهُ وَغَسَلَ أَطْرَافَ أَصَابِعِهِ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَصَلَّى ثُمَّ عَادَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَوَجَدَ عِنْدَهُمْ لَحْمًا بَارِدًا فَأَكَلَ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَصَلَّى وَلَمْ يَمَسَّ مَاءً
