[Machine] I missed dinner one night, so I couldn't fall asleep. I decided to go to the mosque to pray the missed prayers. I leaned against one side of it, and Umar entered and saw me. He asked, "Who is this?" I replied, "Abu Bakr." He wondered why I was out at that hour, and I said it was due to hunger. He said, "I am also here because of the same reason that brought you out." Shortly after, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered and saw both of us. Umar pointed out who we were, and the Prophet asked why we were out at that hour. We informed him of what happened, and he said, "The one who caused you to come out is the one who caused me to come out. Come with us to the house of the Wakim family." We reached the door and sought permission to enter. The lady asked, "Where is so-and-so?" She was told that he went to bring a handler to carry something on his back. He arrived and hung it on a peg of a date-palm trunk. Then he approached us and greeted us, saying that people don't visit anyone better than visiting him that night. He brought some dried dates, and we ate from them and selected the ripest from the moon. Then he took a knife and moved around among the sheep. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ told him to avoid the udder or the fat tail. He slaughtered a sheep for us and flayed it, then cooked it in a pot. He instructed the lady, and she kneaded and baked the dough. Then he brought a large tray with meat, and we ate. After that, he went to the handler and found the wind had blown out the flame. He heated water and gave us to drink. The Prophet ﷺ said, "All praise is for Allah. We came out for no reason but hunger, and we did not return until we reached this. This is part of the blessings that we will be asked about on the Day of Resurrection."
فَاتَنِيَ الْعِشَاءُ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَجَعَلْتُ أَتَقَلَّبُ لَا يَأْتِينِي النَّوْمُ فَقُلْتُ لَوْ خَرَجْتُ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَصَلَّيْتُ مَا قُدِّرَ لِي فَفَعَلْتُ ثُمَّ اسْتَنَدْتُ إِلَى نَاحِيَةٍ مِنْهُ فَدَخَلَ عُمَرُ فَلَمَّا رَآنِي أَنْكَرَنِي وَقَالَ مَنْ هَذَا؟ فَقُلْتُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ قَالَ مَا أَخْرَجَكَ هَذِهِ السَّاعَةَ؟ قُلْتُ الْجُوعُ قَالَ وَأَنَا مَا أَخْرَجَنِي إِلَّا الَّذِي أَخْرَجَكَ فَلَمْ يَلْبَثْ أَنْ دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا رَأَى سَوَادَنَا أَنْكَرَهُ فَقَالَ «مَنْ هَذَانِ؟» فَبَدَرَنِي عُمَرُ فَقَالَ هَذَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَهَذَا عُمَرُ فَقَالَ «مَا أَخْرَجَكُمَا هَذِهِ السَّاعَةَ؟» فَأَخْبَرْنَاهُ الْخَبَرَ قَالَ «وَأَنَا مَا أَخْرَجَنِي إِلَّا الَّذِي أَخْرَجَكُمَا انْطَلِقُوا بِنَا إِلَى مَنْزِلِ الْوَاقِمِيِّ» فَأَتَيْنَا الْبَابَ فَاسْتَأْذَنَّا فَخَرَجَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ فَقَالَ «أَيْنَ فُلَانٌ؟» قَالَتْ ذَهَبَ يَسْتَعْذِبُ لَنَا مِنْ حَشِّ بَنِي حَارِثَةَ فَفَتَحْتِ الْبَابَ فَدَخَلْنَا فَلَمْ نَلْبَثْ أَنْ جَاءَ حَامِلًا قِرْبَةً عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ حَتَّى عَلَّقَهَا فِي كَرْنَفَةٍ مِنْ كَرَانِفِ النَّخْلِ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ إِلَيْنَا فَقَالَ مَرْحَبًا وَأَهْلًا مَا زَارَ النَّاسَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ زَوْرٍ زَارُونِي اللَّيْلَةَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ بِعِذْقِ بُسْرٍ فَجَعَلْنَا نَنْتَقِي فِي الْقَمَرِ وَنَأْكُلُ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ الشَّفْرَةَ وَجَالَ فِي الْغَنَمِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِيَّاكَ وَالْحَلُوبَ» أَوْ قَالَ «ذَاتَ الدَّرِّ» فَذَبَحَ لَنَا شَاةً وَسَلَخَهَا وَقَطَّعَهَا فِي الْقِدْرِ وَأَمَرَ الْمَرْأَةَ فَعَجَنَتْ وَخَبَزَتْ ثُمَّ جَاءَنَا بِثَرِيدَةٍ وَلَحْمٍ فَأَكَلْنَا ثُمَّ قَامَ إِلَى الْقِرْبَةِ وَقَدْ تَخَفَّقْهَا الرِّيحُ فَبَرَدَتْ فَأَسْقَانَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ خَرَجْنَا لَمْ يُخْرِجْنَا إِلَّا الْجُوعُ ثُمَّ لَمْ نَرْجِعْ حَتَّى أَصَبْنَا هَذَا هَذَا مِنَ النَّعِيمِ الَّذِي تُسْأَلُونَ عَنْهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ»
