4889. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: A man came to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and said, "O Allāh's Messenger! I am suffering from fatigue and hunger." The Prophet ﷺ sent (somebody) to his wives (to get something), but the messenger found nothing with them. Then Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said (to his Companions), "Isn't there anybody who can entertain this man tonight so that Allāh may be Merciful to him?" An Anṣārī man got up and said, "I (will entertain him), O Allāh's Messenger!" So, he went to his wife and said to her, "This is the guest of Allāh's Messenger, so do not keep anything away from him." She said, "By Allāh, I have nothing but the children's food." He said, "When the children ask for their dinner, put them to sleep and put out the light; we shall not take our meals tonight." She did so. In the morning the Anṣārī man went to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ who said, "Allāh عزَّ وجلَّ was pleased with (or He bestowed His Mercy) on so-and-so and his wife (because of their good deed)." Then Allāh تعالى revealed: "...And give them (emigrants) preference over themselves, even though they were in need of that..." (V.59:9) In the Name of Allāh, the Most Gracious,the Most Merciful.

4889 - حَدَّثَنِي يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا فُضَيْلُ بْنُ غَزْوَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَازِمٍ الأَشْجَعِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: أَتَى رَجُلٌ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَصَابَنِي الجَهْدُ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى نِسَائِهِ فَلَمْ يَجِدْ عِنْدَهُنَّ شَيْئًا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَلاَ رَجُلٌ يُضَيِّفُهُ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةَ، يَرْحَمُهُ اللَّهُ؟» فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ: أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، فَذَهَبَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ، فَقَالَ لِامْرَأَتِهِ: ضَيْفُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لاَ تَدَّخِرِيهِ شَيْئًا، قَالَتْ: وَاللَّهِ مَا عِنْدِي إِلَّا قُوتُ الصِّبْيَةِ، قَالَ: فَإِذَا أَرَادَ الصِّبْيَةُ العَشَاءَ فَنَوِّمِيهِمْ، وَتَعَالَيْ فَأَطْفِئِي السِّرَاجَ وَنَطْوِي بُطُونَنَا اللَّيْلَةَ، فَفَعَلَتْ، ثُمَّ غَدَا الرَّجُلُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «لَقَدْ عَجِبَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - أَوْ ضَحِكَ - مِنْ فُلاَنٍ وَفُلاَنَةَ» فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: {وَيُؤْثِرُونَ عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَلَوْ كَانَ بِهِمْ خَصَاصَةٌ} [الحشر: 9] سُورَةُ المُمْتَحِنَةِ وَقَالَ مُجَاهِدٌ: {لاَ تَجْعَلْنَا فِتْنَةً} [يونس: 85]: " لاَ تُعَذِّبْنَا بِأَيْدِيهِمْ، فَيَقُولُونَ: لَوْ كَانَ هَؤُلاَءِ عَلَى الحَقِّ مَا أَصَابَهُمْ هَذَا "، {بِعِصَمِ الكَوَافِرِ} [الممتحنة: 10]: «أُمِرَ أَصْحَابُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِفِرَاقِ نِسَائِهِمْ كُنَّ كَوَافِرَ بِمَكَّةَ»
