Hadith 33:549
Hassan narrated to us, Ibn Lahi'ah narrated to us, Abu al-Zubayr narrated to us, from Jabir, that Umm Malik al-Bahziyyah used to gift clarified butter to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in a skin container of hers. Once, her sons were asking her for a condiment, and she had nothing. She went to her skin container in which she used to gift to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and she found clarified butter in it. It continued to provide a condiment for her sons until she squeezed it. She came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and he said: "Did you squeeze it?" She said: "Yes." He said: "Had you left it, it would have remained for you permanently."
حدثنا حسن، حدثنا ابن لهيعة، حدثنا أبو الزبير، عن جابر، أن أم مالك البهزية كانت تهدي في عكة لها سمنا إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فبينا بنوها يسألونها الإدام، وليس عندها شيء، فعمدت إلى عكتها التي كانت تهدي فيها إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فوجدت فيها سمنا، فما زال يدوم لها أدم بنيها حتى عصرته، وأتت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فقال: " أعصرتيه؟ " قالت: نعم، قال: " لو تركتيه ما زال ذلك لك مقيما "
