[139] 45 - (...) It was narrated that Abû Hurairah, or Abû Sa'eed - Al-A'mash was not sure - said: "On the day of the battle of Tabûk, the people became hungry and said: 'O Messenger of Allâh, why don't you give us permission to slaughter our camels, and we will eat them and make use of their fat.' The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Do that.' Then 'Umar came and said: 'O Messenger of Allâh, if you do that we will have few mounts. Rather call them to bring whatever provisions they have left, then pray to Allâh over them, asking Him to bless them for them, and perhaps Allâh will bless them.' The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Yes.' He called for a leather mat and spread it out, then he called for their left-over provisions. One man brought a handful of corn, another brought a handful of dates, and another brought a piece of bread, until a little food had been collected on the leather mat. Then the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ prayed for blessing for it, then he said: 'Put it in your vessels.' They filled their vessels until there was no vessel left in the camp that was not filled. They ate until they were full, and there was plenty left over. Then the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'I bear witness that none has the
right to be worshipped but Allâh and that I am the Messenger of Allâh. No one who meets Allâh (believing) in them and not doubting them will be kept away from Paradise.”
