English translation
[138] 44 - (27) It was narrated that Abû Hurairah said: "We were with the Prophet ﷺ on a journey and the people's provisions were about to run out, so they were thinking of slaughtering some of their mounts. 'Umar said: 'O Messenger of Allâh, why don't you collect whatever provisions the people have left, and pray to Allâh (for His blessings) over them?' So he did that. The one who had wheat brought his wheat, the one who had dates brought his dates" - and Mujâhid said: "the one who had date-stones brought his date-stones." I said: "What did they do with date-stones?" He said: "They used to suck on them and drink water at the same time"[1] "Then he prayed over them, until the people were able to replenish their provisions.' Then he said: 'I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allâh and that I am the Messenger of Allâh. No one meets Allâh (believing) in these two (statements) and not doubting them, but he will enter Paradise." [1] According to An-Nawawî, who attributed the observation to 'Abdul-Ghanî bin Sa'eed, the exchange with Mujâhid is by Ṭalhah bin Muṣarrif, while Mujâhid is not one of the narrators mentioned in this chain.
