وَعَن حَازِم بْنِ هِشَامٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ حُبَيْشِ بن خَالِد - وَهُوَ أَخُو أمِّ مَعْبَد - أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ أُخْرِجَ مِنْ مَكَّةَ خَرَجَ مُهَاجِرًا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ هُوَ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَمَوْلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ عَامِرُ بْنُ فُهَيْرَةَ وَدَلِيلُهُمَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ اللَّيْثِي مَرُّوا عَلَى خَيْمَتَيْ أُمِّ مَعْبَدٍ فَسَأَلُوهَا لَحْمًا وَتَمْرًا لِيَشْتَرُوا مِنْهَا فَلَمْ يُصِيبُوا عِنْدَهَا شَيْئًا من ذَلِك وَكَانَ الْقَوْمُ مُرْمِلِينَ مُسْنِتِينَ فَنَظَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى شَاةٍ فِي كِسْرِ الْخَيْمَةِ فَقَالَ: «مَا هَذِهِ الشَّاةُ يَا أُمَّ معبد؟» قَالَتْ: شَاةٌ خَلَّفَهَا الْجَهْدُ عَنِ الْغَنَمِ. قَالَ: «هَلْ بِهَا مِنْ لَبَنٍ؟» قَالَتْ: هِيَ أَجْهَدُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ. قَالَ: «أَتَأْذَنِينَ لِي أَنْ أَحْلِبَهَا؟» قَالَتْ: بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي إِنْ رَأَيْتَ بِهَا حَلباً فاحلبها. فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَمَسَحَ بِيَدِهِ ضَرْعَهَا وَسَمَّى اللَّهَ تَعَالَى وَدَعَا لَهَا فِي شَاتِهَا فتفاجت عَلَيْهِ وَردت وَاجْتَرَّتْ فَدَعَا بِإِنَاءٍ يُرْبِضُ الرَّهْطَ فَحَلَبَ فِيهِ ثجَّاً حَتَّى علاهُ الْبَهَاءُ ثُمَّ سَقَاهَا حَتَّى رَوِيَتْ وَسَقَى أَصْحَابَهُ حَتَّى رَوُوا ثُمَّ شَرِبَ آخِرَهُمْ ثُمَّ حَلَبَ فِيهِ ثَانِيًا بَعْدَ بَدْءٍ حَتَّى مَلَأَ الْإِنَاءَ ثُمَّ غَادَرَهُ عِنْدَهَا وَبَايَعَهَا وَارْتَحَلُوا عَنْهَا. رَوَاهُ فِي «شَرْحِ السُّنَّةِ» وَابْنُ عَبْدِ الْبَرِّ فِي «الِاسْتِيعَابِ» وَابْنُ الْجَوْزِيِّ فِي كِتَابِ «الْوَفَاءِ» وَفِي الحَدِيث قصَّةٌ
Hazim ibn Hisham reported from his father, from his grandfather Hubaysh ibn Khalid—the brother of Umm Ma‘bad—that when the Messenger of God ﷺ was driven out of Makkah, he emigrated to Medina with Abu Bakr, Abu Bakr’s freedman ‘Amir ibn Fuhayrah, and their guide ‘Abdullah al-Laythi. They passed the two tents of Umm Ma‘bad and asked to buy meat and dates, but found none. The people were exhausted and suffering from drought. The Messenger of God ﷺ saw a sheep in a corner of the tent and said, ‘What is this sheep, Umm Ma‘bad?’ She said, ‘It has been left behind from the flock by hardship.’ He asked, ‘Does it have any milk?’ She replied, ‘It is more exhausted than that.’ He said, ‘Will you allow me to milk it?’ She said, ‘May my father and mother be your ransom; if you think there is milk in it, milk it.’ The Messenger of God ﷺ prayed, passed his hand over its udder, invoked the name of God, and prayed for blessing for her sheep. It spread its legs and began chewing its cud. He called for a vessel large enough to satisfy a group and milked it in a strong stream until foam rose. He gave her enough to drink, then gave his Companions enough to drink, and they were satisfied. He drank last. Then he milked it again until he filled the vessel, left it with her, pledged allegiance to her, and departed.
