Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader: Abdullah ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us, he said: Abu Usamah narrated to us, he said: Hisham narrated to us from his father from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), who said: "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, and there was nothing in the storage area that a person with a liver would eat, except for half a measure of barley in my storage area. I ate from it until it became a long time for me, so I ate it all and it was exhausted."
The reader: ...
The Shaykh : What do you have?
The reader: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, and there was nothing in the storage area
The Shaykh : Before that, the hadith before that, it is not al-Qastallani's Fath.
The reader: ... it is what food is eaten from, and it is ... so that they do not need to lower themselves when eating.
The Shaykh : So that they do not?
The reader: So that he does not need to lower himself when eating.
The Shaykh : The stone, this is what is known among us as the ma'sah.
The questioner : ... ؟
The Shaykh : Yes, this is so that it is elevated so that he does not lower his head when eating. The meaning is that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not eat the food of the wealthy, and the world was not opened up to him until he reached this state. As for the hadith of Aisha where she said: "It became a long time for her, so she ate it and it was exhausted", in this is evidence that if a person measures a thing and starts to observe whether it has decreased or increased, then its blessing is removed. Its blessing is removed. For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Aisha:Sahih al-Bukhari 1434, do not measure it, lest Allah measure you. This means: do not estimate things, for Allah will measure you, meaning He will treat you according to what you estimate. So if a person entrusts the matter to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and eats from it until it is exhausted, this becomes more blessed.
