Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلاَمٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ لِي مَعْمَرٌ قَالَ لِي الثَّوْرِيُّ هَلْ سَمِعْتَ فِي الرَّجُلِ يَجْمَعُ لأَهْلِهِ قُوتَ سَنَتِهِمْ أَوْ بَعْضِ السَّنَةِ قَالَ مَعْمَرٌ فَلَمْ يَحْضُرْنِي، ثُمَّ ذَكَرْتُ حَدِيثًا حَدَّثَنَاهُ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ الزُّهْرِيُّ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ يَبِيعُ نَخْلَ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ، وَيَحْبِسُ لأَهْلِهِ قُوتَ سَنَتِهِمْ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn Salam narrated to me: Wakiʿ informed us, from Ibn ʿUyaynah, who said: Maʿmar told me that al-Thawri had asked whether he had heard anything about a man storing provisions for his family for a year or part of a year. Maʿmar said, “I could not recall anything at the time.” Then he remembered a report narrated to them by Ibn Shihab al-Zuhri, from Malik ibn Aws, from ʿUmar, may God be pleased with him: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to sell the date palms of Banu al-Nadir and set aside provisions for his family for a year.
