[Machine] I accompanied my companions to the city, intending to migrate. But when we approached the city, they left me behind and traveled on. I experienced severe hunger, then someone who came out from the city passed by me and said, "If you enter one of the walls of the city, you will find fruit." 'Umair said, "So I entered one of the walls of the city and I cut two clusters of dates from its palm tree. The owner of the wall came out with me until he brought me to the Prophet ﷺ and he asked me about my situation. I told him, and he said to me, 'Which of the two is better?' So I pointed to one of them. He commanded me to give it to him, and he commanded the owner of the wall to give me the other one and he let me go on my way."
أَقْبَلْتُ مَعَ سَادَتِي إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ نُرِيدُ الْهِجْرَةَ حَتَّى إِذَا دَنَوْنَا مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ تَرَكُونِي فِي ظُهُورِهِمْ وَرَحَلُوا فَأَصَابَنِي مَجَاعَةٌ شَدِيدَةٌ فَمَرَّ بِي بَعْضُ مَنْ خَرَجَ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَقَالَ إِنَّكَ لَوْ دَخَلْتَ بَعْضَ حَوَائِطِ الْمَدِينَةِ أَصَبْتَ مِنْ ثَمَرِهَا قَالَ عُمَيْرٌ فَدَخَلْتُ حَائِطًا مِنْ حَوَائِطِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَقَطَعْتُُ قِنْوَيْنِ مِنْ نَخْلِهِ فَجَاءَنِي صَاحِبُ الْحَائِطِ فَخَرَجَ بِي حَتَّى أَتَى بِيَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَسَأَلَنِي عَنْ أَمْرِي فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ لِي «أَيُّهُمَا أَفْضَلُ؟» فَأشَرْتُ إِلَى أَحَدِهِمَا فَأَمَرَنِي فَأَخَذْتُهُ وَأَمَرَ صَاحِبَ الْحَائِطِ فَأَخَذَ الْآخَرَ وَخَلَّى سَبِيلِي
