حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ يُونُسَ بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " لاَ تُكْرِهُوا مَرْضَاكُمْ عَلَى الطَّعَامِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تبارك و تعالى يُطْعِمُهُمْ وَيَسْقِيهِمْ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ .

Abu Kurayb said: Bakr ibn Yunus ibn Bukayr narrated to us, from Musa ibn ‘Ali, from his father, from ‘Uqbah ibn ‘Amir al-Juhani, who said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Do not force your sick to eat, for Allah, Blessed and Exalted, feeds them and gives them drink.” Abu ‘Isa said: This hadith is hasan gharib; we know it only through this route.
