Hadith No: 41
Narrated/Authority of Abu Huraira
We were
accompanying the Apostle (may peace be upon him) in a march
(towards Tabuk). He (the narrator) said: The provisions with
the people were almost depleted. He (the narrator) said: (And
the situation became so critical) that they (the men of the
army) decided to slaughter some of their camels. He (the
narrator) said: Upon this Umar said: Messenger of Allah, I
wish that you should pool together what has been left out of
the provisions with the people and then invoke (the blessings
of) Allah upon it. He (the narrator) said: He (the Holy
Prophet) did it accordingly. He (the narrator) said: The one
who had wheat in his possession came there with wheat. He who
had dates with him came there with dates. And Mujahid said: He
who possessed stones of dates came there with stones. I (the
narrator) said: What did they do with the date?stones. They
said: They (the people) sucked them and then drank water over
them. He (the narrator said): He (the Holy Prophet) invoked
the blessings (of Allah) upon them (provisions). He (the
narrator) said: (And there was such a miraculous increase in
the stocks) that the people replenished their provisions
fully. He (the narrator) said: At that time he (the Holy
Prophet) said: I bear testimony to the fact that there is no
god but Allah, and I am His messenger. The bondsman who would
meet Allah without entertaining any doubt about these (two
fundamentals) would enter heaven.
