حَدَّثَنَا مُؤَمَّلُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَوْ عَنْ أَبِي السَّلِيلِ عَنْهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ نَزَلَ بِنَا أَضْيَافٌ لَنَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَتَحَدَّثُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِاللَّيْلِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا أَرْجِعَنَّ إِلَيْكَ حَتَّى تَفْرُغَ مِنْ ضِيَافَةِ هَؤُلَاءِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمِنْ قِرَاهُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَتَاهُمْ بِقِرَاهُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ لَا نَطْعَمُهُ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَجَاءَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا فَعَلَ أَضْيَافُكُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَفَرَغْتُمْ مِنْ قِرَاهُمْ ؟، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ لَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ قَدْ أَتَيْتُهُمْ بِقِرَاهُمْ فَأَبَوْا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ وَاللَّهِ لَا نَطْعَمُهُ حَتَّى يَجِيءَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ صَدَقَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَدْ أَتَانَا بِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَبَيْنَا حَتَّى تَجِيءَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَمَا مَنَعَكُمْ ؟، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ مَكَانَكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَاللَّهِ لَا أَطْعَمُهُ اللَّيْلَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَقَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ وَنَحْنُ وَاللَّهِ لَا نَطْعَمُهُ حَتَّى تَطْعَمَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا رَأَيْتُ فِي الشَّرِّ كَاللَّيْلَةِ قَطُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَرِّبُوا طَعَامَكُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَقَرَّبَ طَعَامَهُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَطَعِمَ وَطَعِمُوا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأُخْبِرْتُ أَنَّهُ أَصْبَحَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَغَدَا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِالَّذِي صَنَعَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَصَنَعُوا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ بَلْ أَنْتَ أَبَرُّهُمْ وَأَصْدَقُهُمْ .

Some guests visited us, and Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہ was conversing with the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم at night. He (Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہ ) said: I will not return to you until you are free from their entertainment and serving them food. So he brought them food, but they said: We shall not eat it until Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہ comes (back). Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہ then came and asked: What did your guest do? Are you free from their entertainment ? They said: No. I said: I brought them food, but they refused and said: We swear by Allah, we shall not take it until he comes. They said: He spoke the truth. He brought it to us, but we refused (to take it) until you come. He asked: What did prevent you ? He said: I swear by Allah, I shall not take food tonight. They said: And we also swear by Allah that we shall not take food until you take it. He said: I never saw an evil like the one tonight. He said: Bring your food near (you). He (Abdur-Rahman رضی اللہ عنہ ) said: Their food was then brought near them. He said: In the name of Allah, and he took the food, and they also took it. I then informed him that the dawn had broken. So he went to the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم and informed him of what he and they had done. He said: You are the most obedient and most trustful of them.
