Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The hadith that follows is also authentic, and it is his statement: It was narrated from Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) looked at the hunger in the faces of his Companions and said
Rejoice, for a time will come upon you in which one of you will be served a bowl of bread and meat for breakfast and a similar one for dinner. أبشروا فإنه سيأتي عليكم زمان يغدى على أحدكم بالقصعة من الثريد ويراح عليه بمثلها
They said: O Messenger of Allah, we are better on that day. He said
No, today you are better than you will be on that day. بل أنتم اليوم خير منكم يومئذ
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2476Da'if (Darussalam)
. Al-Bazzar narrated it with a good chain, and it is as the author stated.
In this hadith, there is a linguistic aspect that may benefit us; paying attention to it may benefit us, and it may connect us to other aspects related to creed. Ibn Mas'ud said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) looked at the hunger in the faces of his Companions. Is hunger something that is seen? Of course not, but the meaning is self-evident: he looked at the effect of hunger. So here, there is a deleted modifier, and the deleted modifier is known in the language and its literature.
