Musnad Ahmad Hadith 23818

It is narrated from Miqdad (may Allah be pleased with him) that when we came to Madinah Munawwarah, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) divided us into groups of ten in each house. I was among those ten people in whose group the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) was also included. We had only one goat from which we used to get milk. If on any day the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) was delayed in returning, we would drink its milk and save some for the Noble Prophet (ﷺ). Once, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) returned late at night; by that time, we had already fallen asleep. Since the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) was delayed for a long time and I thought that perhaps the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) would not return—maybe someone had invited him for a meal—I drank the milk that was kept for the Noble Prophet (ﷺ), thinking this. But after some part of the night had passed, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) arrived. On the other hand, I could not sleep either. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) came inside, greeted softly, and moved towards the bowl, but when he saw that there was nothing in it, he remained silent. Then he said, "O Allah! Whoever feeds us tonight, feed him." Hearing this, I got up, took a knife, and went towards the goat. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) asked, "What happened?" I replied, "I am going to slaughter it." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Do not slaughter it, rather bring it to me." I brought it, and the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) passed his hand over its udders. A little milk came out, which the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) drank and then lay down and slept.
