(21). 3218. Al-Ja'd bin Abī 'Uthmān narrated from Anas bin Mālik: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ got married, and he went in with his wife." He said: "So my mother, Umm Sulaim prepared some Hais in a Tawr[1] and said: 'O Anas! Take this to the Prophet ﷺ.' I said to him: 'My mother sent this to you, and she conveys her Salām, and says: "This is a little something from us for you." He said: 'Put it down.' Then he said: 'Go and invite so-and-so, so-and-so, and so-and-so for me, and whomever you meet.'" He named some people, and said: "I invited those he named, and whomever I met." – He (Al-Ja'd) said: "I said to Anas: 'How many of you were there?' He said: 'Roughly about three-hundred.'" – He (Anas) said: "The
Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said to me: 'O Anas! Bring me the Tawr.'" He said: "They entered until the Suffah[1] and the apartment were full. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Let groups of ten in, and let each person eat what is near him.'" He said: "They ate until they were full." He said: "A group exited, and another group entered, until all of them ate." He said: "He said to me: 'O Anas! Remove it.'" He said: "So I took it. I could not tell if there was more when I first put it down, or when I picked it up." He said: "Groups of them sat talking in the house of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, while the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and his wife sat facing the wall. They began to be burdensome on the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, so the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ went out to greet his women folk, then he returned. When they saw that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ had returned, they realized that they had overburdened him, so they hastened for the gate and all of them exited. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ came until he lowered the curtain, and entered while I was sitting in the apartment. He did not remain there long before he left me, and these Āyāt were revealed. So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ went out to recite them to the people: 'O you who believe! Do not enter the Prophet's house unless permission is given to you for a meal, not to
wait for its preparation. But when you are invited, enter, and when you have taken your meals, disperse without sitting for a talk. Verily, such annoys the Prophet...' till the end of the Āyah."[1] Al-Ja'd said: "Anas said: 'I am the earliest of the people to encounter these Āyāt, and to be screened from the wives of the Prophet ﷺ.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ. Al-Ja'd is Ibn 'Uthmān, and it is said that he is Ibn Dīnār, and his Kunyah is Abū 'Uthmān, and he is from Al-Baṣrah. He is trustworthy according to the people of Ḥadīth. Yūnus bin 'Ubaid, Shu'bah and Ḥammād bin Zaid reported from him.

٣٢١٨ - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الضُّبَعِيُّ ، عَنِ الْجَعْدِ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: «تَزَوَّجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَدَخَلَ بِأَهْلِهِ قَالَ: فَصَنَعَتْ أُمِّي أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ» حَيْسًا، فَجَعَلَتْهُ فِي تَوْرٍ، فَقَالَتْ: يَا أَنَسُ اذْهَبْ بِهَذَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقُلْ لَهُ: بَعَثَتْ بِهَذَا إِلَيْكَ أُمِّي وَهِيَ تُقْرِئُكَ السَّلَامَ وَتَقُولُ: إِنَّ هَذَا لَكَ مِنَّا قَلِيلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ: فَذَهَبْتُ بِهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقُلْتُ: إِنَّ أُمِّي تُقْرِئُكَ السَّلَامَ وَتَقُولُ: إِنَّ هَذَا مِنَّا لَكَ قَلِيلٌ، فَقَالَ: ضَعْهُ. ثُمَّ قَالَ: اذْهَبْ، فَادْعُ لِيَ فُلَانًا وَفُلَانًا
وَفُلَانًا، وَمَنْ لَقِيتَ، فَسَمَّى رِجَالًا قَالَ: فَدَعَوْتُ مَنْ سَمَّى، وَمَنْ لَقِيتُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَنَسٍ: عَدَدَ كَمْ كَانُوا؟ قَالَ: زُهَاءَ ثَلَاثِ مِائَةٍ. قَالَ: وَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: يَا أَنَسُ هَاتِ التَّوْرَ. قَالَ: فَدَخَلُوا حَتَّى امْتَلَأَتِ الصُّفَّةُ وَالْحُجْرَةُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: لِيَتَحَلَّقْ عَشَرَةٌ عَشَرَةٌ، وَلْيَأْكُلْ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ مِمَّا يَلِيهِ. قَالَ: فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا قَالَ: فَخَرَجَتْ طَائِفَةٌ وَدَخَلَتْ طَائِفَةٌ حَتَّى أَكَلُوا كُلُّهُمْ قَالَ: فَقَالَ لِي: يَا أَنَسُ ارْفَعْ. قَالَ: فَرَفَعْتُ، فَمَا أَدْرِي حِينَ وَضَعْتُ كَانَ أَكْثَرَ أَمْ حِينَ رَفَعْتُ قَالَ: وَجَلَسَ طَوَائِفُ مِنْهُمْ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ فِي بَيْتِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَرَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَالِسٌ وَزَوْجَتُهُ مُوَلِّيَةٌ وَجْهَهَا إِلَى الْحَائِطِ، فَثَقُلُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَسَلَّمَ عَلَى نِسَائِهِ، ثُمَّ رَجَعَ، فَلَمَّا رَأَوْا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ رَجَعَ ظَنُّوا أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ ثَقُلُوا عَلَيْهِ، فَابْتَدَرُوا الْبَابَ، فَخَرَجُوا كُلُّهُمْ وَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى أَرْخَى السِّتْرَ وَدَخَلَ وَأَنَا جَالِسٌ فِي الْحُجْرَةِ، فَلَمْ يَلْبَثْ إِلَّا يَسِيرًا حَتَّى خَرَجَ عَلَيَّ وَأُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَاتُ، فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَرَأَهُنَّ عَلَى النَّاسِ: {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لا تَدْخُلُوا بُيُوتَ النَّبِيِّ إِلا أَنْ يُؤْذَنَ لَكُمْ إِلَى طَعَامٍ غَيْرَ نَاظِرِينَ إِنَاهُ وَلَكِنْ إِذَا دُعِيتُمْ فَادْخُلُوا فَإِذَا طَعِمْتُمْ فَانْتَشِرُوا وَلا مُسْتَأْنِسِينَ لِحَدِيثٍ إِنَّ ذَلِكُمْ كَانَ يُؤْذِي النَّبِيَّ} إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ.
قَالَ الْجَعْدُ: قَالَ أَنَسٌ: أَنَا أَحْدَثُ النَّاسِ عَهْدًا بِهَذِهِ الْآيَاتِ وَحُجِبْنَ نِسَاءُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.
هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَالْجَعْدُ هُوَ ابْنُ عُثْمَانَ، وَيُقَالُ: هُوَ ابْنُ دِينَارٍ، وَيُكْنَى أَبَا عُثْمَانَ بَصْرِيٌّ، وَهُوَ ثِقَةٌ عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْحَدِيثِ، رَوَى عَنْهُ يُونُسُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، وَشُعْبَةُ، وَحَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ.
