[6951] (...) ‘Abdullâh bin ‘Umar said: “I heard the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ say: ‘Three people of those who came before you went out, and they spent the night in a cave’”...and he quoted a Hadîth like that of Nâfi’ from Ibn ‘Umar (no. 6950), except that he said: “One of them said: ‘O Allâh, I had elderly parents and I did not offer milk to anyone else in the evening before them.’” And he said: “She refused to let me have my way with her until she was hard pressed because of famine, then she came to me and I gave her one hundred and twenty Dînâr.” And he said: “He invested his wages until they generated a great deal of wealth.” And he said: “And they came walking out of the cave.”

100 - حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَهْلٍ التَّمِيمِيُّ، وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ بِهْرَامَ وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ - قَالَ ابْنُ سَهْلٍ: حَدَّثَنَا، وقَالَ الْآخَرَانِ: أَخْبَرَنَا - أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، أَخْبَرَنِي سَالِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: «انْطَلَقَ ثَلَاثَةُ رَهْطٍ مِمَّنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ، حَتَّى آوَاهُمُ الْمَبِيتُ إِلَى غَارٍ» وَاقْتَصَّ الْحَدِيثَ بِمَعْنَى حَدِيثِ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ: «اللهُمَّ كَانَ لِي أَبَوَانِ شَيْخَانِ كَبِيرَانِ، فَكُنْتُ لَا أَغْبِقُ قَبْلَهُمَا أَهْلًا وَلَا مَالًا» وَقَالَ: «فَامْتَنَعَتْ مِنِّي حَتَّى أَلَمَّتْ بِهَا سَنَةٌ مِنَ السِّنِينَ، فَجَاءَتْنِي فَأَعْطَيْتُهَا عِشْرِينَ وَمِائَةَ دِينَارٍ» وَقَالَ: «فَثَمَّرْتُ أَجْرَهُ حَتَّى كَثُرَتْ مِنْهُ الْأَمْوَالُ، فَارْتَعَجَتْ» وَقَالَ: «فَخَرَجُوا مِنَ الْغَارِ يَمْشُونَ»
