The Hadeeth of 'Abdur Rahman bin Abi Bakr

Abu Bakr (رضي الله عنه) came with a guest or guests, then he went to the Prophet (ﷺ) in the evening, When he came back, my mother said to him: You stayed away from your guest (or guests) since night began. He said: Didn"t you give them supper? She said: No. She said: I offered it to him (or them) but they refused (or he refused). Abu Bakr got angry and swore that he would not eat, and the guest (or guests) swore that they would not eat until he ate. Then Abu Bakr said: This is from the Shaitan. So he called for the food and ate, and they ate too. They did not lift any morsel to their mouths but more than that appeared beneath it. He said: O sister of Banu Firas, what is this? She said: What a surprise, now it is more than it was before we ate! So they ate and sent some of it to the Prophet (ﷺ) . And he mentioned that he ate some of it.

We were one hundred and thirty men with the Prophet (ﷺ) , and the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Does anyone among you have any food?" One man had a sa" of foodstuff or the like, so he made some dough. Then a man, a tall mushrik with dishevelled hair, came along with some sheep that he was driving. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Will you sell one or give it as a gift?" He said: No, I will sell it. So he bought a sheep from him and it was slaughtered and prepared. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ordered that its liver be grilled. By Allah, there was no one among those one hundred and thirty who was not given his share of that liver by the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ): if the man was present, he gave it to him, and if he was absent he set it aside for him. And he set out two large bowls from which we all ate our fill, and there was some left over in the two bowls, which I loaded onto a camel.

Ashabus-Suffah were poor people. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said on one occasion: “Whoever has food for two, let him take a third person with him - ‘Affan said: three people, whoever has food for four, let him take a fifth and sixth person with him,” or words to that effect. Abu Bakr came with three people and the Prophet (ﷺ) took ten people with him, and Abu Bakr took three.

‘AbdurRahman bin Abi Bakr told me: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) instructed me to take "A"ishah behind me on my mount to at-Tan"eem, then let her do ‘umrah.

"My Lord has granted me seventy thousand of my ummah who will enter Paradise without being brought to account." "Umar said: O Messenger of Allah, why didn"t you ask for more? He said: "I did ask for more, and He granted me with each man seventy thousand. "Umar said: Why didn"t you ask for more? He said: "I did ask for more and He granted me with every man seventy thousand." ‘Umar said: Why didn"t you ask for more? He said: "I did ask for more, and He granted me like this -" and "Abdullah bin Bakr held his hands apart, stretching out his arms and making a scooping motion. Hisham said: This is from Allah, the number of which is not known.

"Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, will call the debtor on the Day of Resurrection and make him stand before Him, then He will say: O My slave, how did you dispose of the people"s money? He will say: O Lord, You know that I did not squander it: rather it was lost in a flood or a fire, or it was stolen or lost (in trade). Then Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, will call for something and will put it in his balance, and his good deeds will outweigh it.”

"Allah with call the debtor on the Day of Resurrection until he is made to stand before Him, and it will be said: O son of Adam, why did you take this debt? Why did you neglect people"s dues? He will say: O Lord, You know that I took it but I did not use it for food or drink or clothing, and 1 was not negligent, but what happened to me was a fire or theft or loss (in trade). Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, will say: My slave has spoken the truth, I am the most deserving to pay it off for you today, Then Allah will call for something and will put it in the pan of his balance, and his good deeds will outweigh his bad deeds, then he will enter Paradise by grace of His mercy.”

someone who heard "AbdurRahman bin Abi Bakr told him that [the latter] said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Ride this she-camel and put your sister behind you, then when you come down from the hill of at-Tan’eem, both of you should enter ihram and come here." That was on the day when the pilgrims do the tawaf of farewell before leaving Makkah.

the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to ‘Abdur-Rahman: "Put your sister - meaning "A"ishah - behind you on your mount and take her for "Umrah from at-Tan"eem. When you bring her down from the hill, tell her to enter ihram, and it will be an "Umrah that will be accepted by Allah."

We were one hundred and thirty men with the Prophet (ﷺ), and the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Does anyone among you have any food?" One man had a sa" of foodstuff or the like, so he made some dough. Then a man, a tall mushrik with dishevelled hair. came along with some sheep that he was driving. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Will you sell one or give it as a gift?" He said: No, I will sell it. So he bought a sheep from him and it was slaughtered and prepared. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ordered that its liver be grilled. By Allah, there was no one among those one hundred and thirty who was not given his share of that liver by the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ); if the man was present, he gave it to him, and if he was absent he set it aside for him. And he set out two large bowls from which we all atc our fill, and there was some left over, which I loaded onto a camel.

the people of as-Suffah were poor people and on one occasion the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Whoever has enough food for two people, let him take three with him, and whoever has enough food for four people, let him take a fifth or a sixth with him," or words to that effect. Abu Bakr took three people with him and the Prophet of Allah (ﷺ) took ten. Abu Bakr took three and he (the narrator) said: That was me and my father and my mother - and I do not know if he said: - and my wife and a servant whom we shared with the household of Abu Bakr. Abu Bakr ate dinner with the Prophet (ﷺ) , then he stayed until "Isha" prayer was offered, then he went back and stayed until the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) became drowsy, and he came after as much of the night had passed as Allah willed. His wife said to him: What kept you away from your guests? Or she said: your guest. He said: Have you not given them dinner? She said: They refused (to eat) until you came, They brought the food to them, but they insisted on not eating. I went and hid myself, and he said: O ignorant fellow! And he reprimanded me and berated me. He said: Eat, but you may not enjoy it. And he said: By Allah, I will never eat it. By Allah, we did not take any morsel but there appeared beneath it more of it, until we had eaten our fill and there was more of it than before. Abu Bakr looked at it and saw that it was as it had been before or more than that. He said to his wife: O sister of Banu Firas, what is this? She said: No, O pleasure of my eye, now it is three times more than it was before. Abu Bakr ate some of it and said: That was from the Shaitan - meaning his oath. Then he ate a morsel of it and took it to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) found it in the morning. He said: There was a treaty between us and some people which came to an end, and we appointed twelve men, each of whom had many men with him, and Allah knows best how many were with each man, and all of them ate from it.

Ashabus-Suffah were poor people. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Whoever has food for two, let him take a third person with him; whoever has food for four, let him take a fifth and sixth person with him,” or words to that effect. Abu Bakr brought three People with him and the Prophet of Allah (ﷺ) took ten people with him. He said: That was me and my father and my mother- and I do not know if he said: - and my wife and a servant whom we shared with the household of Abu Bakr (رضي الله عنه).
