Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ دُكَيْنٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُقْبَةُ بْنُ وَهْبِ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ الْعَامِرِيُّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يُحَدِّثُ، عَنِ الْفُجَيْعِ الْعَامِرِيِّ، أَنَّهُ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ مَا يَحِلُّ لَنَا مِنَ الْمَيْتَةِ قَالَ ‏"‏ مَا طَعَامُكُمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قُلْنَا نَغْتَبِقُ وَنَصْطَبِحُ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ فَسَّرَهُ لِي عُقْبَةُ قَدَحٌ غُدْوَةً وَقَدَحٌ عَشِيَّةً ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ ذَاكَ - وَأَبِي - الْجُوعُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَأَحَلَّ لَهُمُ الْمَيْتَةَ عَلَى هَذِهِ الْحَالِ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ الْغَبُوقُ مِنْ آخِرِ النَّهَارِ وَالصَّبُوحُ مِنْ أَوَّلِ النَّهَارِ ‏.‏

Translation

Harun ibn ʿAbd Allah narrated to us: al-Fadl ibn Dukayn narrated to us: ʿUqbah ibn Wahb ibn ʿUqbah al-ʿAmiri said: I heard my father narrate from al-Fujayʿ al-ʿAmiri, who came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and asked: “What carrion is lawful for us?” He said: “What is your food?” We replied: “We have a drink in the evening and a drink in the morning.” Abu Nuʿaym said: ʿUqbah explained this to me as a cup in the morning and a cup in the evening. The Prophet ﷺ said: “That, by my father, is hunger.” So he made carrion lawful for them in that condition. Abu Dawud said: The evening drink is at the end of the day, and the morning drink is at the beginning of the day.
