حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ قَالَ: أَدْرَكْتُ السَّلَفَ، وَإِنَّهُمْ لَيَكُونُونَ فِي الْمَنْزِلِ الْوَاحِدِ بِأَهَالِيهِمْ، فَرُبَّمَا نَزَلَ عَلَى بَعْضِهُمُ الضَّيْفُ، وَقِدْرُ أَحَدِهِمْ عَلَى النَّارِ، فَيَأْخُذُهَا صَاحِبُ الضَّيْفِ لِضَيْفِهِ، فَيَفْقِدُ الْقِدْرَ صَاحِبُهَا فَيَقُولُ: مَنْ أَخَذَ الْقِدْرَ؟ فَيَقُولُ صَاحِبُ الضَّيْفِ: نَحْنُ أَخَذْنَاهَا لِضَيْفِنَا، فَيَقُولُ صَاحِبُ الْقِدْرِ: بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ فِيهَا، أَوْ كَلِمَةً نَحْوَهَا قَالَ بَقِيَّةُ: وَقَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ: وَالْخُبْزُ إِذَا خَبَزُوا مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ، وَلَيْسَ بَيْنَهُمْ إِلاَّ جُدُرُ الْقَصَبِ. قَالَ بَقِيَّةُ: وَأَدْرَكْتُ أَنَا ذَلِكَ: مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ زِيَادٍ وَأَصْحَابَهُ.

Muhammad ibn Ziyad said: I encountered the early generations, and they would live with their families in one house. Sometimes a guest would arrive at one household while another person’s pot was on the fire. The host would take that pot for his guest. Its owner would notice it missing and ask: “Who took the pot?” The host would say: “We took it for our guest.” The owner of the pot would reply: “May Allah bless it for you,” or words to that effect. Baqiyya said: Muhammad also said that when they baked bread, they did likewise. Nothing separated their homes except reed walls. Baqiyya said: I too encountered Muhammad ibn Ziyad and his companions doing this.
