It reached Imam Malik (Muslim and the authors of Sunan have narrated it with a connected chain) that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, came to the mosque and found Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq and Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab, may Allah be pleased with them both, there. He asked them: "What brought you here?" They said: "Because of hunger." He, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "I also came out for the same reason." Then the three men went to Sayyiduna Abu al-Haitham ibn al-Tihan al-Ansari, may Allah be pleased with him. He ordered barley bread to be prepared and got ready to slaughter a goat. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Leave the one that gives milk." So he slaughtered another goat and filled sweet water in a waterskin and hung it from a tree. Then the food came, and all of them ate and drank that water. Then the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "This is the blessing (ni‘mah) about which you will be questioned on that (Day of Resurrection)."
