رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي عَبْسٍ، عَنْ سَلْمَانَ ؓ

[Machine] I was walking with Salman along the banks of the Tigris River, and he said, "O brother from the tribe of Abs, sit down and drink." So I drank, and then he said, "Drink again." So I drank again. He said, "Has your thirst been quenched from the Tigris?" I said, "Perhaps it has not been quenched." He said, "Indeed, knowledge is like that, it is taken from it and does not decrease." Then he said, "Ride on." And we passed by heaps of wheat and barley. He said, "Do you see this? It is a treasure for us and a calamity for the people of Muhammad ﷺ ." I said, "I do not know." He said, "But I know that it is a calamity for us and a blessing for them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ never had his fill for three consecutive days before he met Allah."  

كُنْتُ أَسِيرُ مَعَ سَلْمَانَ عَلَى شَطِّ دِجْلَةَ فَقَالَ يَا أَخَا بَنِي عَبْسٍ انْزِلْ فَاشْرَبْ فَشَرِبْتُ ثُمَّ قَالَ اشْرَبْ فَشَرِبْتُ قَالَ مَا نَقَصَ شَرَابُكَ مِنْ دِجْلَةَ قَالَ قُلْتُ مَا عَسَى أَنْ يَنْقُصَ قَالَ فَإِنَّ الْعِلْمَ كَذَلِكَ يُؤْخَذُ مِنْهُ وَلَا يَنْقُصُ ثُمَّ قَالَ ارْكَبْ فَمَرَرْنَا بِأَكْدَاسٍ مِنْ حِنْطَةٍ وَشَعِيرٍ فَقَالَ أَتَرَى هَذَا فَتَحَ لَنَا؟ وقَتَّرَ عَلَى أَصْحَابِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ لِخَيْرٍ لَنَا وَشَرٍّ لَهُمْ؟ قُلْتُ لَا أَدْرِي قَالَ وَلَكِنِّي أَدْرِي شَرٌّ لَنَا وَخَيْرٌ لَهُمْ «مَا شَبِعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ مُتَوَالِيَةٍ حَتَّى لَحِقَ بِاللهِ ﷻ»
