حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ، وَهُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي حَرْمَلَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ دَخَلْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَا وَخَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ عَلَى مَيْمُونَةَ فَجَاءَتْنَا بِإِنَاءٍ مِنْ لَبَنٍ فَشَرِبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَأَنَا عَلَى يَمِينِهِ وَخَالِدٌ عَلَى شِمَالِهِ فَقَالَ لِي ‏"‏ الشَّرْبَةُ لَكَ فَإِنْ شِئْتَ آثَرْتَ بِهَا خَالِدًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ مَا كُنْتُ أُوثِرُ عَلَى سُؤْرِكَ أَحَدًا ‏.‏ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ مَنْ أَطْعَمَهُ اللَّهُ الطَّعَامَ فَلْيَقُلِ اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِيهِ وَأَطْعِمْنَا خَيْرًا مِنْهُ ‏.‏ وَمَنْ سَقَاهُ اللَّهُ لَبَنًا فَلْيَقُلِ اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِيهِ وَزِدْنَا مِنْهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ لَيْسَ شَيْءٌ يَجْزِي مَكَانَ الطَّعَامِ وَالشَّرَابِ غَيْرُ اللَّبَنِ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ ‏.‏ وَقَدْ رَوَى بَعْضُهُمْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ فَقَالَ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ حَرْمَلَةَ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَمْرُو بْنُ حَرْمَلَةَ وَلاَ يَصِحُّ ‏.‏

Translation

Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.

Ahmad ibn Mani‘ narrated to us; Isma‘il ibn Ibrahim narrated to us; ‘Ali ibn Zayd narrated to us, from ‘Umar—namely, Ibn Abi Harmalah—from Ibn ‘Abbas, who said: I entered with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), along with Khalid ibn al-Walid, to visit Maymunah. She brought us a vessel of milk. The Messenger of Allah drank while I was to his right and Khalid to his left. He said to me: ‘The drink is yours; if you wish, you may give it to Khalid instead.’ I said: ‘I would not give anyone preference over your leftover drink.’ Then the Messenger of Allah said: ‘When Allah gives someone food, let him say: “O Allah, bless it for us and feed us something better than it.” When Allah gives someone milk to drink, let him say: “O Allah, bless it for us and give us more of it.”’ The Messenger of Allah also said: ‘Nothing takes the place of food and drink except milk.’ He said: ‘This is a hasan hadith. Some narrators reported this hadith from ‘Ali ibn Zayd, saying ‘Umar ibn Harmalah; others said ‘Amr ibn Harmalah, and that is not correct.’’

    The source names the narrator in the main chain as ‘Umar, Ibn Abi Harmalah, then records variant forms ‘Umar ibn Harmalah and ‘Amr ibn Harmalah, rejecting the latter.
