Explanation of the Book of Foods-01a

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The reader: And from Abu Hazim, from Abu Hurayrah, who said:

I was overcome by severe hardship, so I met 'Umar ibn al-Khattab and asked him to recite a verse from the Book of Allah. He entered his house and opened the door for me. I walked a short distance before I collapsed on my face from the hardship and hunger. Then I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) standing over me. He said, "O Abu Hurayrah." I said, "Here I am, O Messenger of Allah, at your service." He took my hand and raised me up, and he knew what was wrong with me. He then took me to his tent and ordered a skin of milk to be brought for me. I drank from it, and then he said, "Come back and drink, O Abu Hurayrah." I came back and drank. Then he said, "Come back," and I came back and drank until my stomach was full and became like a cup. He said, "Then I met 'Umar and mentioned to him what had happened to me, and I said to him, 'May Allah have turned that away from the one who is more deserving of it than you, O 'Umar.'"

أصابني جهد شديد فلقيت عمر بن الخطاب فاستقرأته آيةً من كتاب الله فدخل داره وفتحها علي فمشيت غير بعيد فخررت لوجهي من الجهد والجوع فإذا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قائم على رأسي فقال يا أبا هريرة فقلت لبيك رسول الله وسعديك فأخذ بيدي فأقامني وعرف الذي بي فانطلق بي إلى رحله فأمر لي بعس من لبن فشربت منه ثم قال عد فاشرب يا أبا هريرة فعدت فشربت ثم قال عد فعدت فشربت حتى استوى بطني فصار كالقدح ، قال فلقيت عمر وذكرت له الذي كان من أمري وقلت له تولى الله ذلك من كان أحق به منك يا عمر

The Shaykh : In the second copy, "fa-walla Allah" means that Allah made it easy for me to find a person other than you, yes.
The reader:

and said to him, "Somebody, who had more right than you, O 'Umar, took over the case. By Allah, I asked you to recite a Verse to me while I knew it better than you." On that Umar said to me, "By Allah, if I admitted and entertained you, it would have been dearer to me than having nice red camels.

وقلت له فولى الله ذلك من كان أحق به منك يا عمر والله لقد استقرأتك الآية ولأنا أقرأ لها منك قال عمر والله لأن أكون أدخلتك أحب إلي من أن يكون لي مثل حمر النعم

Sahih al-Bukhari 5375
