Hadith 33:443

Waki’ narrated to us, he said: Al-A’mash narrated to us, from Shamir, from Shahr ibn Hawshab, who said: Salman came to Abu al-Darda’ and did not find him, so he greeted Umm al-Darda’ and said: "Where is my brother?" She said: "In the mosque." He had a Qatwani cloak on him. She threw a worn-out cushion toward him, but he refused to sit on it. He folded his turban and threw it down, then sat on it. He said: Then Abu al-Darda’ came, carrying meat [he had bought] for two dirhams. Umm al-Darda’ stood up, cooked it, and baked bread, then brought the food. Abu al-Darda’ was fasting. Salman said: "Who will eat with me?" He said: "Umm al-Darda’ will eat with you." He did not leave him until he broke his fast. Salman said to Umm al-Darda’—and he saw her in a poor state—: "What is the matter with you?" She said: "Your brother does not desire women; he fasts the day and stands [in prayer] the night." He spent the night with him. Abu al-Darda’ began to want to stand [for prayer], but he [Salman] held him back until it was before dawn. Then he stood, performed ablution, and prayed some rak'ahs. Abu al-Darda’ said to him: "You have kept me from my prayer." Salman said to him: "Pray, sleep, fast, and break your fast; for your family has a right over you, and your eyes have a right over you."

حدثنا وكيع قال حدثنا الأعمش عن شمر عن شهر بن حوشب قال جاء سلمان إلى أبي الدرداء فلم يجده فسلم على أم الدرداء وقال أين أخي قالت في المسجد وعليه عباءة له قطوانية فألقت إليه خلق وسادة فأبى أن يجلس عليها ولوى عمامته فطرحها فجلس عليها قال فجاء أبو الدرداء معلقا لحما بدرهمين فقامت أم الدرداء فطبخته وخبزت ثم جاءت بالطعام وأبو الدرداء صائم فقال سلمان من يأكل معي فقال تأكل معك أم الدرداء فلم يدعه حتى أفطر فقال سلمان لأم الدرداء ورآها سيئة الهيئة مالك قالت إن اخاك لا يريد النساء يصوم النهار ويقوم الليل فبات عنده فجعل أبو الدرداء يريد أن يقوم فيحبسه حتى كان قبل الفجر فقام فتوضأ وصلى ركعات فقال له أبو الدرداء حبستني عن صلاتي فقال له سلمان صل ونم وصم وأفطر فان لأهلك عليك حقا ولعينيك عليك حقا
