Abu Hurayrah reported that the Prophet came out at an unusual hour, when he would not normally go out or meet anyone. Abu Bakr came, and the Prophet asked what had brought him. Abu Bakr replied that he had come to meet the Messenger of Allah, look at his face, and greet him. Umar soon arrived; when asked, he said he was hungry. The Prophet said that he too felt some hunger. They went to the home of Abu al-Haytham ibn al-Tayyihan al-Ansari, a man with many date palms and sheep but no servants. His wife said he had gone to fetch them sweet water. Abu al-Haytham returned carrying a waterskin, embraced the Prophet, and offered himself as his ransom. He spread a mat for them in his garden and brought a cluster of dates. The Prophet asked why he had not selected only ripe dates; Abu al-Haytham replied that he wanted them to choose between ripe and unripe dates. They ate and drank, and the Prophet said: “By the One in whose hand is my soul, this is among the blessings about which you will be questioned on the Day of Resurrection: cool shade, good ripe dates, and cool water.”
Abu al-Haytham went to prepare food. The Prophet told him not to slaughter a milk-producing animal, so he slaughtered a young goat or kid and served it. The Prophet asked whether he had a servant. When Abu al-Haytham said no, the Prophet promised to send him one if captives came to them. Later, two male captives were brought to the Prophet, who told Abu al-Haytham to choose one. Abu al-Haytham asked the Prophet to choose for him. The Prophet said that a person who is consulted is entrusted with a responsibility, then chose one whom he had seen praying and advised Abu al-Haytham to treat him well. Abu al-Haytham told his wife, who said he would not fulfill the Prophet’s words unless he freed the man; Abu al-Haytham declared him free.
The Prophet then said: “Allah has sent no prophet or appointed no caliph without giving him two close entourages: one that urges him to do good and forbids him from evil, and another that spares no effort to corrupt him. Whoever is protected from the evil entourage is protected.” Abu Isa graded this report hasan sahih gharib. A parallel report from Abu Salamah describes the Prophet going out with Abu Bakr and Umar but omits Abu Hurayrah from its chain. Abu Isa noted that the route of Shayban is fuller and longer than Abu Awanah’s; Shayban was considered trustworthy and a scholar with a book. The hadith is also reported through another route from Abu Hurayrah and from Ibn Abbas.
