[Machine] "He cooked a meat dish for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in which there was a pot, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Serve me the arm of the sheep.' So he served it to him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, 'Serve me the arm of the sheep.' So he served it to him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, 'Serve me the arm of the sheep.' So he said, 'O Prophet of Allah, how many arms does a sheep have?'. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, if you had remained silent, you would have been given a (living) arm the same size as what you have asked for.'"  

أَنَّهُ طَبَخَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قِدْرًا فِيهَا لَحْمٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ نَاوِلْنِي ذِرَاعَهَا فَنَاوَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ نَاوِلْنِي ذِرَاعَهَا فَنَاوَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ نَاوِلْنِي ذِرَاعَهَا فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ كَمْ لِلشَّاةِ مِنْ ذِرَاعٍ؟ قَالَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْ سَكَتَّ لَأَعْطَتْكَ ذِرَاعًا مَا دَعَوْتَ بِهِ  

[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. Then he said, "O Abu Rafi', hand me the forearm." So, I handed it to him again. Then he said, "O Abu Rafi', hand me the forearm." So, I said, "O Messenger of Allah, does the sheep have any other forearm?" He said, "If you had remained silent, I would have kept taking forearms from it. And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was fond of raising his forearms."  

صُنِعَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ شَاةٌ مَصْلِيَّةٌ فَأُتِيَبِهَا فَقَالَ لِي يَا أَبَا رَافِعٍ نَاوِلْنِي الذِّرَاعَ فَنَاوَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا رَافِعٍ نَاوِلْنِي الذِّرَاعَ فَنَاوَلْتُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا أَبَا رَافِعٍ نَاوِلْنِي الذِّرَاعَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَهَلْ لِلشَّاةِ إِلَّا ذِرَاعَانِ؟ فَقَالَ لَوْ سَكَتَّ لَنَاوَلْتَنِي مِنْهَا مَا دَعَوْتُ بِهِ قَالَ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُعْجِبُهُ الذِّرَاعُ  

[Machine] "He cooked a pot of food for the Prophet ﷺ and the Prophet said to him, 'Serve me a forearm (portion) of it.' He was fond of the forearm, so he served him a forearm. Then he said, 'Serve me the forearm,' so he served him another forearm. Then he said, 'Serve me the forearm,' so I said, 'O Prophet of Allah, how many forearms does a sheep have?' He said, 'By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, if you had remained silent, I would have given you forearms as many as you asked for.'"  

أَنَّهُ طَبَخَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ قِدْرًا فَقَالَ لَهُ «نَاوِلْنِي ذِرَاعَهَا» وَكَانَ يُعْجِبُهُ الذِّرَاعُ فَنَاوَلَهُ الذِّرَاعَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «نَاوِلْنِي الذِّرَاعَ» فَنَاوَلَهُ ذِرَاعًا ثُمَّ قَالَ «نَاوِلْنِي الذِّرَاعَ» فَقُلْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ وَكَمْ لِلشَّاةِ مِنْ ذِرَاعٍ؟ فَقَالَ «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ أَنْ لَوْ سَكَتَّ لَأُعْطِيتُ أَذْرُعًا مَا دَعَوْتُ بِهِ»  

[Machine] "I slaughtered a sheep for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he said, 'Give me the foreleg.' So, I gave it to him. Then he said, 'Give me the foreleg.' So, I gave it to him. Then he said, 'Give me the foreleg.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, a sheep only has two forelegs.' He said, 'If you had sought it, you would have found it.'"  

ذَبَحْتُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «نَاوِلْنِي الذِّرَاعَ» فَنَاوَلْتُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «نَاوِلْنِي الذِّرَاعَ» فَنَاوَلْتُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «نَاوِلْنِي الذِّرَاعَ» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّمَا لِلشَّاةِ ذِرَاعَانِ قَالَ «أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَوِ ابْتَغَيْتَهُ لَوَجَدْتَهُ»  

[Machine] He informed him, he said, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Give me the arm." So I gave it to him, then he said, "Give me the arm." So I gave it to him, then he said, "Give me the arm." So I said, "O Prophet of Allah, what about the udder of the sheep?" So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If you gave it to me, you would keep giving it to me."  

أَخْبَرَهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «نَاوِلْنِي الذِّرَاعَ» فَنَاوَلْتُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «نَاوِلْنِي الذِّرَاعَ» فَنَاوَلْتُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «نَاوِلْنِي الذِّرَاعَ» فَقُلْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ وَلِلشَّاةِ غَيْرُ ذِرَاعَيْنِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَوْ نَاوَلْتَنِي مَا زِلْتَ تُنَاوِلُنِي»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said to me, "Give me your arm." So, I gave it to him. Then he said, "Give me your arm." So, I gave it to him. Then he said, "Give me your arm." So, I said, "O Prophet of Allah, the sheep only has two arms." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If you were to give me however much you have, you would never be deprived of giving to me."  

لِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «نَاوِلْنِي الذِّرَاعَ» فَنَاوَلْتُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «نَاوِلْنِي الذِّرَاعَ» فَنَاوَلْتُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «نَاوِلْنِي الذِّرَاعَ» فَقُلْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ وَلِلشَّاةِ غَيْرُ ذِرَاعَيْنِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَوْ نَاوَلْتَنِي مَا زِلْتَ تُنَاوِلُنِي»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ instructed me to pray for him a sheep, so I prayed it for him. Then he said, "Pass me the shoulder." So, I passed him the shoulder. Then he said, "Pass me the shoulder." So, I passed him the shoulder. Then he said, "Pass me the shoulder." So, I said, "O Messenger of Allah, how many shoulders does it have?" He said, "If you had remained silent, you would have found it had more than you can count."  

أَمَرَنِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْ أُصْلِيَ لَهُ شَاةً فَصَلَيْتُهَا لَهُ فَقَالَ «نَاوِلْنِي الذِّرَاعَ» فَنَاوَلْتُهُ الذِّرَاعَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «نَاوِلْنِي الذِّرَاعَ» فَنَاوَلْتُهُ الذِّرَاعَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «نَاوِلْنِي الذِّرَاعَ» فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَمْ لَهَا مِنْ ذِرَاعٍ؟ فَقَالَ «أَمَا لَوْ سَكَتَّ لَوَجَدْتَهَا مَا دَعَوْتُكَ»  

[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."  

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] He cooked a pot for the Prophet ﷺ, so the Prophet ﷺ said to him, "Give me a forearm." He liked the forearm, so I gave him the forearm. Then he said, "Give me the forearm." I gave him the forearm. He said, "Give me the forearm." So I said, "O Prophet of Allah, how many forearms are there for the sheep?" He said, "By the One in whose hand is my soul, if you remained silent, I would give you forearms as much as you asked for."  

أَنَّهُ طَبَخَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ قِدْرًا فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «نَاوِلْنِي ذِرَاعًا وَكَانَ يُعْجِبُهُ الذِّرَاعُ فَنَاوَلْتُهُ الذِّرَاعَ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «نَاوِلْنِي الذِّرَاعَ فَنَاوَلْتُهُ الذِّرَاعَ» قَالَ «نَاوِلْنِي الذِّرَاعَ» فَقُلْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ وَكَمْ لِلشَّاةِ مِنْ ذِرَاعٍ فَقَالَ «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْ سَكَتَّ لَأَعْطَيْتَنِي أَذْرُعًا مَا دَعَوْتُ بِهِ»  

"أمَّا لَوْ سَكَت لَوَجَدْتَهَا مَا دعَوْتُكَ" .

ابن سعد، والحكيم، طِب عن أَبي رافع قال: أَمرني النبي ﷺ أَنْ أُصْلي له شَاةً فَصَلَيتُها ثم قال: نَاولِنِي الذِّرَاعَ فَنَاوَلْتُهُ، ثمَّ قال: ناولْنى الذِّرَاع فَناوَلْتُهُ، ثمّ قال نَاوِلْنى الذِّراع، فَقُلتُ: يا رسُول الله، كم لها من ذراع؟ قال فذكره.
