أحمد:٧٩٨١ – حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ يَعْنِي سُهَيْلًا عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ يُخْبِرُهُمْ ذَلِكَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِذَا كَفَى أَحَدَكُمْ خَادِمُهُ صَنْعَةَ طَعَامِهِ وَكَفَاهُ حَرَّهُ وَدُخَانَهُ فَلْيُجْلِسْهُ مَعَهُ فَلْيَأْكُلْ فَإِنْ أَبَى فَلْيَأْخُذْ لُقْمَةً فَلْيُرَوِّغْهَا ثُمَّ لِيُعْطِهَا إِيَّاهُ

[Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith is Hasan Sahih. Abu Khalid is the father of Isma'il, his name is Sa'd.
الترمذي:١٨٥٣ – حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ يُخْبِرُهُمْ ذَاكَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا كَفَى أَحَدَكُمْ خَادِمُهُ طَعَامَهُ حَرَّهُ وَدُخَانَهُ فَلْيَأْخُذْ بِيَدِهِ فَلْيُقْعِدْهُ مَعَهُ فَإِنْ أَبَى فَلْيَأْخُذْ لُقْمَةً فَلْيُطْعِمْهَا إِيَّاهُ  

قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ وَأَبُو خَالِدٍ وَالِدُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ اسْمُهُ سَعْدٌ

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "When one of you finishes his servant's food and drink, he should dismiss him and have him sit. If he refuses, then he should feed him a morsel and give it to him, or give him a word that carries the same meaning."  

البيهقي:١٥٧٨٢ – أَخْبَرنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْقَاضِي وَأَبُو زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ قَالَا ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ أنبأ الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ أنبأ الشَّافِعِيُّ أنبأ سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا كَفَى أَحَدَكُمْ خَادِمُهُ طَعَامَهُ حَرَّهُ وَدُخَانَهُ فَلْيَدْعُهُ فَلْيُجْلِسْهُ فَإِنْ أَبَى فَلْيُرَوِّغْ لَهُ لُقْمَةً فَلْيُنَاوِلْهُ إِيَّاهَا أَوْ يُعْطِهِ إِيَّاهَا أَوْ كَلِمَةً هَذَا مَعْنَاهَا
