دُكَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْمُزَنِيُّ

[Machine] "We went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with four hundred riders, asking him for food. He said, 'O Umar, go and feed them and give them.' Umar said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I only have a handful of dates that my family and I survive on.' Abu Bakr said, 'Listen and obey.' Umar said, 'I hear and obey.' So Umar went until he reached 'Ali, who took out a key from his pouch and opened it. He said to the people, 'Enter.' So they entered, and I was the last to enter. Then I hesitated and turned around, and I saw a similar portion of dates."  

الطبراني:٤٢٠٧حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ مُوسَى ثنا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ ثنا سُفْيَانُ ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي خَالِدٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ قَيْسًا يَقُولُ حَدَّثَنِي دُكَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ

أَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي أَرْبَعِمِئَةِ رَاكِبٍ نَسْأَلُهُ الطَّعَامَ فَقَالَ «يَا عُمَرُ اذْهَبْ فَأَطْعِمْهُمْ وأَعْطِهِمْ» فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا عِنْدِي إِلَّا آصُعٌ مِنْ تَمْرٍ مَا يَقْتَاتُهُنَّ عِيَالِي فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ اسْمَعْ وَأَطِعْ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ سَمْعٌ وَطَاعَةٌ فَانْطَلَقَ عُمَرُ حَتَّى أَتَى عُلَيَّةَ فَأَخْرَجَ مِفْتَاحًا مِنْ حُجْزَتِهِ فَفَتَحَهَا فَقَالَ لِلْقَوْمِ ادْخُلُوا فَدَخَلُوا وَكُنْتُ آخِرَ الْقَوْمِ دُخُولًا فَأَخَّرْتُ ثُمَّ الْتَفَتُّ فَإِذَا مِثْلُ الْفَصِيلِ مِنَ التَّمْرِ

[Machine] We came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as a group of forty riders and four hundred companions asking him for food. He said to Umar, "Go and give them." Umar said, "O Messenger of Allah, there is nothing left except a sack of dates, and I do not think it will be enough for us." The Messenger of Allah said, "Go and give them." Umar said, "I hear and obey." Umar took the key out of his saddlebag and opened the door. There was a basket of dates inside. He said to us, "Take what you like." So each of us took what they desired, and when it came to my turn, I was the last among the people, and it was as if not a single date was missing.

أَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَرْبَعِينَ رَاكِبًا وَأَرْبَعَ مِائَةٍ نَسْأَلُهُ الطَّعَامَ فَقَالَ لِعُمَرَ اذْهَبْ فَأَعْطِهِمْ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا بَقِيَ إِلَّا آصُعٌ مِنْ تَمْرٍ مَا أَرَى أَنْ يَقِيظَنِي قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَأَعْطِهِمْ قَالَ سَمْعًا وَطَاعَةً قَالَ فَأَخْرَجَ عُمَرُ الْمِفْتَاحَ مِنْ حَجُزَتِهِ فَفَتَحَ الْبَابَ فَإِذَا شِبْهُ الْفَصِيلِ الرَّابِضِ مِنْ تَمْرٍ فَقَالَ لَنَا خُذُوا فَأَخَذَ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنَّا مَا أَحَبَّ ثُمَّ الْتَفَتُّ وَكُنْتُ مِنْ آخِرِ الْقَوْمِ وَكَأَنَّا لَمْ نَرْزَأْ تَمْرَةً
