٣٦۔ كتاب الأشربة
As we went along with Messenger of Allah ﷺ from Mecca to Medina, we passed by a shepherd and Messenger of Allah ﷺ was feeling thirsty. He (Abu Bakr Siddiq) said: I milked for him a small quantity of milk (from his goat) and brought it to him (the Holy Prophet), and he drank it and I was very happy.
أَبُو بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقُ لَمَّا خَرَجْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مِنْ مَكَّةَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ مَرَرْنَا بِرَاعٍ وَقَدْ عَطِشَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ فَحَلَبْتُ لَهُ كُثْبَةً مِنْ لَبَنٍ فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِهَا فَشَرِبَ حَتَّى رَضِيتُ
When Messenger of Allah ﷺ went forth from Mecca to Medina, Suraqa b. Malik b. Ju'shum pursued him. Messenger of Allah ﷺ invoked curse upon him, and his horse sank (in the desert). He (Suraqa) said: (Messenger of Allah), invoke blessings for me and I will do no harm to you. He (the Holy Prophet) then supplicated Allah. (At that time) he (the Holy Prophet) felt thirsty, and they happened to pass by a shepherd. Abu Bakr Siddiq said: I took hold of a bowl and milked some milk into it for Messenger of Allah ﷺ and gave it to him. He drank it and I was pleased.
سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ يَقُولُ لَمَّا أَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ مَكَّةَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَأَتْبَعَهُ سُرَاقَةُ بْنُ مَالِكِ بْنِ جُعْشُمٍ قَالَ فَدَعَا عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَسَاخَتْ فَرَسُهُ فَقَالَ ادْعُ اللَّهَ لِي وَلاَ أَضُرُّكَ قَالَ فَدَعَا اللَّهَ قَالَ فَعَطِشَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَمَرُّوا بِرَاعِي غَنَمٍ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقُ فَأَخَذْتُ قَدَحًا فَحَلَبْتُ فِيهِ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ كُثْبَةً مِنْ لَبَنٍ فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِهِ فَشَرِبَ حَتَّى رَضِيتُ
Praise is due to Allah Who guided you to the true nature; had you taken the one containing wine, Your Umma would have gone astray.
إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أُتِيَ لَيْلَةَ أُسْرِيَ بِهِ بِإِيلِيَاءَ بِقَدَحَيْنِ مِنْ خَمْرٍ وَلَبَنٍ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِمَا فَأَخَذَ اللَّبَنَ فَقَالَ لَهُ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي هَدَاكَ لِلْفِطْرَةِ لَوْ أَخَذْتَ الْخَمْرَ غَوَتْ أُمَّتُكَ
This hadith is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira through another chain of transmitters, but he did not mention Aelia (Capitolina. i. e. Bait al-Maqdis).
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِمِثْلِهِ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ بِإِيلِيَاءَ
