Muwatta Malik #1823
The Description of the Prophet, may Allah Bless Him and Grant Him Peace
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).
