Hadith of Tikhfah al-Ghifari (RA)

حديث طخفة الغفاري

Hadith 1064:4

Isma'il ibn Ibrahim narrated to us, from Hisham al-Dastawa'i, from Yahya ibn Abi Kathir, from Abu Salamah, from Ya'ish ibn Takhfah al-Ghifari, who said: My father was one of the People of the Bench (Ahl al-Suffah), and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) commanded that they be taken care of. So, a man would take one or two men [to his house], until I remained as the fifth of five. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Go." So we went with him to the house of Aisha. He said: "O Aisha, feed us." She brought some *jashishah* (crushed wheat porridge), and we ate. Then she brought some *haisah* (a mixture of dates, ghee, and dried yogurt) the size of a sandgrouse, and we ate. Then he said: "O Aisha, give us to drink." She brought a large wooden bowl, and we drank. Then she brought a small cup containing milk, and we drank. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) then said: "If you wish, you may spend the night, and if you wish, you may go to the mosque." We said: "No, rather we will go to the mosque." He said: While I was in the mosque, lying on my stomach, a man moved me with his foot and said: "Indeed, this is a lying position that Allah dislikes." I looked up, and it was the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).

حدثنا إسماعيل بن إبراهيم، عن هشام الدستوائي، عن يحيى بن أبي كثير، عن أبي سلمة عن يعيش بن طخفة الغفاري، قال: كان أبي من أصحاب الصفة فأمر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بهم، فجعل ينقلب الرجل بالرجل والرجلين، حتى بقيت خامس خمسة، فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: " انطلقوا " فانطلقنا معه إلى بيت عائشة، فقال: " يا عائشة، أطعمينا " فجاءت بجشيشة فأكلنا، ثم جاءت بحيسة مثل القطاة، فأكلنا، ثم قال: " يا عائشة، اسقينا " فجاءت بعس فشربنا، ثم جاءت بقدح صغير فيه لبن فشربنا، فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: " إن شئتم بتم، وإن شئتم انطلقتم إلى المسجد " فقلنا: لا، بل ننطلق إلى المسجد، قال: فبينا أنا في المسجد مضطجعا على بطني إذا رجل يحركني برجله، فقال: " إن هذه ضجعة يبغضها الله " فنظرت فإذا هو رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم
