[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent a sheep to Abu Rafi' on the day of the trench, as far as I know. Abu Rafi' slaughtered it and put it in a container. Then he went with it and met the Prophet ﷺ coming back from the trench. The Prophet ﷺ said to him, "O Abu Rafi', pass me the foreleg." So I passed it to him. Then he said, "O Abu Rafi', pass me the foreleg." So I passed it to him. Then he said, "O Abu Rafi', pass me the foreleg." Abu Rafi' said, "O Messenger of Allah, does the sheep have anything other than two forelegs?" He said, "Had you stayed silent, I would have passed it to you as many times as you asked."  

الطبراني:٢١٢٢٩حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي الْمُقَدَّمِيُّ ثنا فُضَيْلُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ثنا فَائِدٌ مَوْلَى عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ أَنَّ جَدَّتَهُ سَلْمَى أَخْبَرَتْهُ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بَعَثَ إِلَى أَبِي رَافِعٍ بِشَاةٍ وَذَلِكَ يَوْمَ الْخَنْدَقِ فِيمَا أَعْلَمُ فَصَلَاهَا أَبُو رَافِعٍ وَجَعَلَهَا فِي مِكْتَلٍ ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ بِهَا فَلَقِيَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رَاجِعًا مِنَ الْخَنْدَقِ فَقَالَ لَهُ «يَا أَبَا رَافِعٍ نَاوِلْنِي الذِّرَاعَ» فَنَاوَلْتُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا أَبَا رَافِعٍ نَاوِلْنِي الذِّرَاعَ» فَنَاوَلْتُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا أَبَا رَافِعٍ نَاوِلْنِي الذِّرَاعَ» فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَلْ لِلشَّاةِ إِلَّا ذِرَاعَيْنِ؟ فَقَالَ «لَوْ سَكَتَّ لَنَاوَلْتَنِي مَا سَأَلْتُكَ»

[Machine] A prayer rug was made for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so it was brought to him. He said to me, "O Abu Rafi', hand me the forearm." So, I handed it to him.
