2979. Narrated Asmā' bint Abū Bakr رضي الله عنهما: I prepared the journey-food for Allāh's Messenger ﷺ in Abū Bakr's house when he intended to emigrate to Al-Madīna. (1) (Ch. 123) Taqī and Al-Muttaqūn: means pious and righteous persons who fear Allāh much (abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which Allāh has forbidden) and love Allāh much (perform all kinds of good deeds which Allāh has ordained). I could not find anything to tie the food-container and the water-skin with. So, I said to Abū Bakr, "By Allāh, I do not find anything to tie (these things) with except my waistbelt." He said, "Cut it into two pieces and tie the water-skin with one piece and the food-container with the other. [the subnarrator added, "She did accordingly and for that reason she was named Dhāt-un-Niṭāqain (i.e., the owner of two belts)]."

2979 - حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي، وَحَدَّثَتْنِي أَيْضًا فَاطِمَةُ، عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، قَالَتْ: صَنَعْتُ سُفْرَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي بَيْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، حِينَ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُهَاجِرَ إِلَى المَدِينَةِ، قَالَتْ: فَلَمْ نَجِدْ لِسُفْرَتِهِ، وَلاَ لِسِقَائِهِ مَا نَرْبِطُهُمَا بِهِ، فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ: «وَاللَّهِ مَا أَجِدُ شَيْئًا أَرْبِطُ بِهِ إِلَّا نِطَاقِي»، قَالَ: فَشُقِّيهِ بِاثْنَيْنِ، فَارْبِطِيهِ: بِوَاحِدٍ السِّقَاءَ، وَبِالْآخَرِ السُّفْرَةَ، «فَفَعَلْتُ، فَلِذَلِكَ سُمِّيَتْ ذَاتَ النِّطَاقَيْنِ»
