[Machine] Saad, we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a journey, and we had some dates with us. Safwan said to me, "Give me some of these dates to eat." I said, "They are few, and I am not sure if it is appropriate for him to ask for them." When they stopped, you ate with them, and he said, "Give me some, for hunger has overcome me." He mentioned what had happened to him. I refused to do so, and the person carrying the dates passed by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he said, "Tell Safwan to go away." He did not stay that night and did not join the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in their round. He then came to Ali and said, "Where are you going? Are you going towards disbelief?" Ali went and informed the Prophet ﷺ about this. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Tell Safwan to catch up."  

سَعْدٌ كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي مَسِيرَةٍ وَمَعَنَا شَيْءٌ مِنْ تَمْرٍ فَقَالَ لِي صَفْوَانُ أَطْعِمْنِي هَذَا التَّمْرَ فَقُلْتُ إِنْهُ تَمْرٌ قَلِيلٌ وَلَسْتُ آمَنُ أَنْ يَدْعُوَ بِهِ فَإِذَا نَزَلُوا أَكَلْتَ مَعَهُمْ فَقَالَ أَطْعِمْنِي فَقَدْ أَهْلَكَنِي الْجُوعُ وَذَكَرَ مَا بَلَغَ مِنْهُ فَأَبَيْتُ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ فَعَرْقَبَ الرَّاحِلَةَ الَّتِي عَلَيْهَا التَّمْرُ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَّسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «قُولُوا لِصَفْوَانَ فَلْيَذْهَبْ» قَالَ فَلَمْ يَبِتْ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ يَطُوفُ عَلَى أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَتَى عَلِيًّا ؓ فَقَالَ أَيْنَ أَذْهَبُ؟ أَذْهَبُ إِلَى الْكُفْرِ؟ فَأَتَى عَلِيٌّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَأَخْبَرَهُ بِذَلِكَ فَقَالَ «قُولُوا لِصَفْوَانَ فَلْيَلْتَحِقْ»
