Hadith 30:3527

Ibn ‘Amir narrated to us, Abu Bakr informed us, from Hisham, from Muhammad, from Abu Hurairah, who said: A man entered upon his family, and when he saw the need they were in, he went out to the wilderness. When his wife saw that, she stood up to the hand-mill and set it in place, and to the oven and stoked it, then she said: "O Allah, provide for us." She looked, and behold, the kneading bowl was full. He said: And she went to the oven and found it full. He said: The husband returned and said: "Did you obtain anything after I left?" His wife said: "Yes, from our Lord." He stood up to the hand-mill. He mentioned that to the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and he said: "Verily, had he not lifted it, it would have continued to turn until the Day of Resurrection." I witnessed the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, while he was saying: "By Allah, for one of you to take a rope, then carry it and sell it, so that he may seek chastity through it, is better for him than to come to a man and ask him."

حدثنا ابن عامر، أخبرنا أبو بكر، عن هشام، عن محمد، عن أبي هريرة، قال: دخل رجل على أهله، فلما رأى ما بهم من الحاجة، خرج إلى البرية، فلما رأت ذلك امرأته قامت إلى الرحى، فوضعتها، وإلى التنور فسجرته، ثم قالت: اللهم ارزقنا. فنظرت فإذا الجفنة قد امتلأت. قال: وذهبت إلى التنور فوجدته ممتلئا. قال: فرجع الزوج، قال: أصبتم بعدي شيئا؟ قالت امرأته: نعم من ربنا. قام إلى الرحى. فذكر ذلك للنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال: " أما إنه لو لم يرفعها، لم تزل تدور إلى يوم القيامة " شهدت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وهو يقول: " والله، لأن يأتي أحدكم صبيرا ، ثم يحمله يبيعه فيستعف منه، خير له من أن يأتي رجلا يسأله "
