ما جاء في إدام رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم

Hadith 25:19

Sanad Da'if wal-Hadīth Hasan (Zubair `Aliza'i)

Abu 'Ubayd Radiyallahu 'Anhu says:

"I cooked a pot (food) for Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam. Because Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam loved the dhiraa (forequarter of a goat or sheep) a lot, I served him that portion. He then ordered another one, I served the ,second one. He then ordered one again. I replied: 'Ya Rasulullah (Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam) the goat has only two dhiraa'. Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam then said: 'I swear an oath by the Name of that Being in whose hands is my life, if you kept quiet, you could have served me every time I requested one'".

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ، قَالَ: طَبَخْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم، قِدْرًا، وَقَدْ كَانَ يُعْجِبُهُ الذِّرَاعُ، فَنَاوَلْتُهُ الذِّرَاعَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: نَاوِلْنِي الذِّرَاعَ، فَنَاوَلْتُهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: نَاوِلْنِي الذِّرَاعَ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَكَمْ لِلشَّاةِ مِنْ ذِرَاعٍ، فَقَالَ: وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْ سَكَتَّ لَنَاوَلْتَنِي الذِّرَاعَ مَا دَعَوْتُ
