It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that one day I brought some dates to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "Please pray for blessings in them." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) spread them out on his hand, prayed, and said: "Put them in your provision bag and keep taking out dates from it with your hand. Do not turn it upside down to empty it." Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) says that I took out many wasqs from it and gave them in the way of Allah. We ourselves ate from it and fed others as well, and I never separated that bag from myself. But after the martyrdom of Hazrat Uthman Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him), it fell somewhere and was lost.
