Hadith of Ja‘dah (may Allah be pleased with him)

حَدِيثُ جَعْدَةَ، ١٨٩٨٤ - حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْرَائِيلَ الْجُشَمِيُّ، عَنْ شَيْخٍ لَهُمْ يُقَالُ لَهُ: جَعْدَةُ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَأَى لِرَجُلٍ رُؤْيَا، قَالَ: فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ، فَجَاءَ، فَجَعَلَ يَقُصُّهَا عَلَيْهِ، وَكَانَ الرَّجُلُ عَظِيمَ الْبَطْنِ، قَالَ: فَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ: بِأُصْبُعِهِ فِي بَطْنِهِ: " لَوْ كَانَ هَذَا فِي غَيْرِ هَذَا، لَكَانَ (١) خَيْرًا لَكَ " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Ja'dah that the Prophet saw a dream about a man, so he sent for him. When he came, the Prophet (peace be upon him) described the dream to him. That man's belly was greatly enlarged. The Prophet (peace be upon him) pointed towards his belly with his hand and, pricking it with his finger, said: "If this had been in something else, it would have been better for you."
