(إِيثَارٌ بَيْنَ حَضْرَةِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَزَوْجَتِهِ بِلَا مِثَالٍ)
(The unparalleled selflessness of Hazrat Abu Talha, may Allah be pleased with him, and his wife)
Hadith Number: 6261
6261 - وعن ابي هريرة قال: جاء رجل إلى رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - فقال: إني مجهود. فارسل إلى بعض نسائه فقالت: والذي بعثك بالحق ما عندي إلا ماء ، ثم ارسل إلى اخرى فقالت مثل ذلك، وقلن كلهن مثل ذلك، فقال رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم -: من يضيفه يرحمه الله. فقام رجل من الانصار - يقال له ابو طلحة - فقال: انا يا رسول الله، فانطلق به إلى رحله فقال لامراته: هل عندك شيء؟ قالت: لا إلا قوت صبياني. قال: فعلليهم بشيء ونوميهم فإذا دخل ضيفنا فاريه انا ناكل فإذا اهوى بيده لياكل فقومي إلى السراج كي تصلحيه فاطفئيه ففعلت، فقعدوا واكل الضيف، وباتا طاويين، فلما اصبح غدا على رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم -، فقال رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - لقد عجب الله او ضحك الله من فلان وفلانة. وفي رواية مثله ولم يسم ابا طلحة، وفي آخرها فانزل الله تعالى"ويؤثرون على انفسهم ولو كان بهم خصاصة"متفق عليه.
Abu Huraira told that when a man came to God's messenger and told him he was suffering from distress he sent a message to one of his wives who said, "I swear by Him who sent you with the truth that I have nothing but water. He sent to another who said the same, and when they had all said the same God's messenger said, "Who will provide entertainment for him? God have mercy on him!" One of the Ansar called Abu Talha got up and said, "I shall, messenger of God." He then, took him to his house and asked his wife if she had anything, and when she replied that they had nothing but the children's food he said, "Put them off with something and put them to sleep. Then when our guest enters make him think we are eating, and when he puts forward his hand to eat get up, go to the lamp to adjust it, and put it out." She did so and they sat down, and the guest ate but they spent the night hungry. In the morning he came to God's messenger who said, "God is charmed with (or, has smiled on) such and such a man and such and such a woman." A version has the same without his naming Abu Talha, and at the end it says that God most high then sent down, "And they give preference to others over themselves even though they are suffering poverty." (Bukhari and Muslim.)
