3917. Narrated Al-Barā': رضي الله عنه: Abū Bakr bought a (camel's) saddle from 'Āzib, and I carried it for him. 'Āzib (i.e., my father) asked Abū Bakr regarding the journey of the emigration of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ, Abū Bakr said, "Close observers were appointed by our enemies to watch us. So we went out at night and travelled throughout the night and the following day till it was noon, then we perceived a rock and went towards it, and there was some shade under it. I spread a cloak I had with me for Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and then the Prophet ﷺ lay on it. I went out to guard him and all of a sudden I saw a shepherd coming with his sheep looking for the same (the shade of the rock as we did). I asked him, 'O boy, to whom do you belong?' He replied, 'I belong to so-and-so.' I asked him, 'Is there any milk with your sheep?' He replied in the affirmative. I asked him, 'Will you milk (them for us)?' He replied in the affirmative. Then he got hold of one of his ewe. I said to him, 'Remove the dust from its udder.' Then he milked a little milk. I had a water-skin with me which was tied with a piece of cloth. I had prepared the waterskin for Allāh's Messenger ﷺ. So, I poured some water over the milk (container) till its bottom became cold. Then I brought the milk to the Prophet ﷺ and said, 'Drink, O Allāh's Messenger.' Allāh's Messenger ﷺ drank till I was pleased. Then we departed and the pursuers were following us."

3917 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُرَيْحُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ البَرَاءَ، يُحَدِّثُ قَالَ: ابْتَاعَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مِنْ عَازِبٍ رَحْلًا، فَحَمَلْتُهُ مَعَهُ، قَالَ: فَسَأَلَهُ عَازِبٌ عَنْ مَسِيرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: " أُخِذَ عَلَيْنَا بِالرَّصَدِ، فَخَرَجْنَا لَيْلًا فَأَحْثَثْنَا لَيْلَتَنَا وَيَوْمَنَا حَتَّى قَامَ قَائِمُ الظَّهِيرَةِ، ثُمَّ رُفِعَتْ لَنَا صَخْرَةٌ، فَأَتَيْنَاهَا وَلَهَا شَيْءٌ مِنْ ظِلٍّ، قَالَ: فَفَرَشْتُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَرْوَةً مَعِي، ثُمَّ اضْطَجَعَ عَلَيْهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَانْطَلَقْتُ أَنْفُضُ مَا حَوْلَهُ، فَإِذَا أَنَا بِرَاعٍ قَدْ أَقْبَلَ فِي غُنَيْمَةٍ يُرِيدُ مِنَ الصَّخْرَةِ مِثْلَ الَّذِي أَرَدْنَا، فَسَأَلْتُهُ: لِمَنْ أَنْتَ يَا غُلاَمُ؟ فَقَالَ: أَنَا لِفُلاَنٍ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: هَلْ فِي غَنَمِكَ مِنْ لَبَنٍ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قُلْتُ لَهُ: هَلْ أَنْتَ حَالِبٌ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، فَأَخَذَ شَاةً مِنْ غَنَمِهِ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: انْفُضِ الضَّرْعَ، قَالَ: فَحَلَبَ كُثْبَةً مِنْ لَبَنٍ، وَمَعِي إِدَاوَةٌ مِنْ مَاءٍ عَلَيْهَا خِرْقَةٌ، قَدْ رَوَّأْتُهَا لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَصَبَبْتُ عَلَى اللَّبَنِ حَتَّى بَرَدَ أَسْفَلُهُ، ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقُلْتُ: اشْرَبْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، فَشَرِبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى رَضِيتُ، ثُمَّ ارْتَحَلْنَا وَالطَّلَبُ فِي إِثْرِنَا "
