1848. Ikrāsh bin Dhu'aib said: "Banū Murrah bin 'Ubaid sent me to bring the Sadaqah from their wealth to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. I arrived with him in Al-Madinah and found him sitting between the Muhājirīn and the Anṣār." He said: "Then he took my hand and brought me to the home of Umm Salamah and he said: 'Do you have any food?' So a bowl containing a lot of Tharīd with pieces of meat was brought to us, and presented for us to eat from it. So I began wandering my hand around in it while the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ ate from what was in front of him. He grabbed my right hand with his left hand, then he said: 'O Ikrāsh! Eat from one spot, for indeed the food is one.' Then a plate containing various dried dates" – or fresh dates – 'Ubaidullāh (a narrator) was not sure. He said: "I began eating what was in front of me, while the hand of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ roamed about the plate. He said: 'O Ikrāsh! Eat from wherever you like, for indeed it is not all from the same variety.' Then water was brought, so the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ washed his hands, and with the wetness of his hands he wiped his face, his forearms, and his head, and he said: 'O Ikrāsh! This is the Wudū' for that which has been altered by fire." (Da'if)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Gharīb, we do not know of it except through the narration of Al-'Alā' bin Al-Faḍl, and Al-Alā' was alone with this narration, and there is more in the story in the Hadīth. [And we do not know a Hadīth from the Prophet ﷺ by 'Ikrāsh except this.]
