Original Arabic

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ،، ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ضَافَهُ ضَيْفٌ وَهُوَ كَافِرٌ، فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِشَاةٍ، فَحُلِبَتْ فَشَرِبَ الْكَافِرُ (١) حِلَابَهَا، ثُمَّ أُخْرَى فَشَرِبَهُ، ثُمَّ أُخْرَى فَشَرِبَهُ، حَتَّى شَرِبَ حِلَابَ سَبْعِ شِيَاهٍ، ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ أَصْبَحَ فَأَسْلَمَ، فَأَمَرَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِشَاةٍ فَشَرِبَ حِلَابَهَا، ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِأُخْرَى فَلَمْ يَسْتَتِمَّهَا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " الْمُؤْمِنُ يَشْرَبُ فِي مِعًى وَاحِدٍ، وَالْكَافِرُ يَشْرَبُ فِي سَبْعَةِ أَمْعَاءٍ " (٢)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that once a guest came to the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) who was a disbeliever. At the order of the Prophet (ﷺ), milk from a goat was milked for him and he drank all of it. The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered milk from a second goat, and he drank that as well. In this way, he drank the milk of seven goats. The next day, he accepted Islam. At the order of the Prophet (ﷺ), milk from a goat was milked for him and he drank it. When the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered milk from a second goat, he could not finish it. Upon this, the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "A Muslim drinks in one intestine, and a disbeliever drinks in seven intestines."
