حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ بَهْرَامَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شَهْرُ بْنُ حَوْشَبٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ: بَيْنَمَا رَجُلٌ وَامْرَأَةٌ لَهُ فِي السَّلَفِ الْخَالِي، لَا يَقْدِرَانِ عَلَى شَيْءٍ، فَجَاءَ الرَّجُلُ مِنْ سَفَرِهِ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَى امْرَأَتِهِ جَائِعًا، قَدْ أَصَابَتْهُ مَسْغَبَةٌ شَدِيدَةٌ، فَقَالَ لِامْرَأَتِهِ: أَعِنْدَكِ شَيْءٌ؟ قَالَتْ: نَعَمْ، أَبْشِرْ أَتَاكَ رِزْقُ اللهِ، فَاسْتَحَثَّهَا، فَقَالَ: وَيْحَكِ، ابْتَغِي إِنْ كَانَ عِنْدَكِ شَيْءٌ، قَالَتْ: نَعَمْ، هُنَيَّةً، نَرْجُو رَحْمَةَ اللهِ، حَتَّى إِذَا طَالَ عَلَيْهِ الطَّوَل (١) ، قَالَ: وَيْحَكِ، قُومِي، فَابْتَغِي إِنْ كَانَ عِنْدَكِ خُبْزٌ، فَأْتِينِي بِهِ، فَإِنِّي قَدْ بَلَغْتُ (٢) وَجَهِدْتُ، فَقَالَتْ: نَعَمْ، الْآنَ يَنْضَجُ التَّنُّورُ فَلَا تَعْجَلْ، فَلَمَّا أَنْ سَكَتَ عَنْهَا سَاعَةً، وَتَحَيَّنَتْ أَيْضًا أَنْ يَقُولَ لَهَا، قَالَتْ هِيَ مِنْ عِنْدِ نَفْسِهَا: لَوْ قُمْتُ فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَى تَنُّورِي، فَقَامَتْ فَوَجَدَتْ تَنُّورَهَا مَلْآنَ جُنُوبَ الْغَنَمِ، وَرَحْيَيْهَا تَطْحَنَانِ، فَقَامَتْ إِلَى الرَّحَى فَنَفَضَتْهَا وَإستَخْرَجَتْ (٣) مَا فِي تَنُّورِهَا مِنْ جُنُوبِ الْغَنَمِ،، ، قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ: فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسُ أَبِي الْقَاسِمِ بِيَدِهِ، عَنْ قَوْلِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لَوْ أَخَذَتْ مَا فِي رَحْيَيْهَا، وَلَمْ تَنْفُضْهَا لَطَحَنَتْهَا إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ " (١)،
Translation

Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that in earlier times there was a husband and wife who had no means of sustenance. Once, the man returned from a journey and was extremely hungry. He went to his wife and asked, "Do you have anything?" She replied, "Yes! Rejoice, for Allah's provision has come to you." He affectionately said, "If you have something, bring it quickly." She said, "Alright, just wait a little while, we are hopeful of Allah's mercy." But as the moments of waiting grew longer, he said to his wife, "Wretched woman! Go, if you have any bread, bring it, for I am exhausted from hunger." She said, "Alright, the oven is being prepared, do not hurry." When he remained silent for a little while longer and his wife saw that he was about to ask again, she thought to herself that she should get up and check the oven (perhaps there might be something in it). So she stood up and saw that the oven was filled with goat thighs and both of her mills were grinding flour. She went to the mill, took the flour, sifted it, and took out the goat thighs from the oven (and they enjoyed them to their fill). Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that by the One in whose hand is the life of Abu al-Qasim (ﷺ), if she had not taken out the flour from the mills and cleaned them, flour would have continued to come out of them and they would have kept grinding until the Day of Judgment.
