38. Marital Feast
٣٨۔ كِتَابُ الْوَلِيمَةِ
[Machine] When we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , we were invited to a meal. We did not begin eating until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ started eating. We were invited to another meal, but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not begin eating. So we refrained from eating. Then, a Bedouin came rushing in as if he was being chased, and he reached out with his hand towards the dish. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ took hold of his hand and made him sit down. Then, a young girl came and reached out with her hand towards the dish. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ took hold of her hand. Then, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, when Satan was prevented from causing us to forget the remembrance of Allah upon our food, he brought this Bedouin to make lawful our food with him. And when we prevented him, he brought this young girl to make lawful our food with her. By Allah, his hand is in my hand along with her hand." Then, he mentioned the name of Allah and ate.
كُنَّا إِذَا كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَدُعِينَا إِلَى طَعَامٍ لَمْ نَضَعْ أَيْدِيَنَا حَتَّى يَضَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَدَهُ فَدُعِينَا إِلَى طَعَامٍ فَلَمْ يَضَعْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَدَهُ فَكَفَفْنَا فَجَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ كَأَنَّمَا يَطْرِدُ فَأَهْوَى بِيَدِهِ إِلَى الْقَصْعَةِ فَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِيَدِهِ فَأَجْلَسَهُ ثُمَّ جَاءَتْ جَارِيَةٌ فَأَهْوَتْ بِيَدِهَا إِلَى الْقَصْعَةِ فَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِيَدِهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَمَّا أَعْيَاهُ أَنْ نَدَعَ ذِكْرَ اللهِ عَلَى طَعَامِنَا فَجَاءَ بِهَذَا الْأَعْرَابِيُّ لِيَسْتَحِلَّ بِهِ طَعَامَنَا فَلَمَّا حَبَسْنَاهُ جَاءَ بِهَذِهِ الْجَارِيَةِ لِيَسْتَحِلَّ بِهَا طَعَامَنَا فَوَاللهِ إِنَّ يَدَهُ فِي يَدِي مَعَ يَدِهَا» ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ اسْمَ اللهِ فَأَكَلَ
