The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَوَجَدَ فِيهِ أَبَا بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقَ وَعُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ فَسَأَلَهُمَا فَقَالاَ أَخْرَجَنَا الْجُوعُ . فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " وَأَنَا أَخْرَجَنِي الْجُوعُ " . فَذَهَبُوا إِلَى أَبِي الْهَيْثَمِ بْنِ التَّيِّهَانِ الأَنْصَارِيِّ فَأَمَرَ لَهُمْ بِشَعِيرٍ عِنْدَهُ يُعْمَلُ وَقَامَ يَذْبَحُ لَهُمْ شَاةً فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " نَكِّبْ عَنْ ذَاتِ الدَّرِّ " . فَذَبَحَ لَهُمْ شَاةً وَاسْتَعْذَبَ لَهُمْ مَاءً فَعُلِّقَ فِي نَخْلَةٍ ثُمَّ أُتُوا بِذَلِكَ الطَّعَامِ فَأَكَلُوا مِنْهُ وَشَرِبُوا مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْمَاءِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " لَتُسْئَلُنَّ عَنْ نَعِيمِ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ " .
Yahya related to me from Malik that he heard that the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, entered the mosque
and found Abu Bakr as-Siddiq and Umar ibn al-Khattab there. He
questioned them and they said, "Hunger has driven us out." The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
"And hunger has brought me out." They went to Abu'l-Haytham ibn at-
Tayyihan al-Ansari. He ordered that some barley that was in the house
be prepared and he got up to slaughter a sheep for them. The Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Leave the
one with milk." He slaughtered a sheep for them and brought them sweet
water and it was hung on a palm-tree. Then they were brought the food
and ate it and drank the water. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, recited, "Then, on that day, you will
be asked concerning pleasure." (Sura 102 ayat 8).
