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."
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
