It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, went on an expedition. During this time, the Muslims ran out of provisions and became needy for food. They sought permission from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, to slaughter their camels. He, peace and blessings be upon him, granted them permission. When Umar bin Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, learned of this, he came and said: O Messenger of Allah! These camels carry the Muslims to the enemy, so should they slaughter them? O Messenger of Allah! Instead, if you gather whatever leftover provisions people have and pray to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, for blessing in it, that would be more appropriate. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: That is correct. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, asked the people for whatever leftover provisions they had. Whatever things people had left, they brought them. He, peace and blessings be upon him, gathered them all in one place and prayed to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, for blessing in them. Then he, peace and blessings be upon him, had their vessels (and bags, etc.) brought and filled them with food, and much food was left over. On this occasion, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: I bear witness that there is no deity except Allah, and I bear witness that I am Allah’s servant and His Messenger. Whoever meets Allah sincerely bearing witness to these two statements, without any doubt in them, will enter Paradise.
