Sahih Bukhari 5375

وَعَنْ أَبي حَازِمِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَصَابَنِي جَهْدٌ شَدِيدٌ ، فَلَقِيتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ، فَاسْتَقْرَأْتُهُ آيَةً مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ ، فَدَخَلَ دَارَهُ وَفَتَحَهَا عَلَيَّ ، فَمَشَيْتُ غَيْرَ بَعِيدٍ ، فَخَرَرْتُ لِوَجْهِي مِنَ الْجَهْدِ وَالْجُوعِ ، فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَائِمٌ عَلَى رَأْسِي ، فَقَالَ : يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ، فَقُلْتُ : لَبَّيْكَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَسَعْدَيْكَ ، فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي ، فَأَقَامَنِي وَعَرَفَ الَّذِي بِي ، فَانْطَلَقَ بِي إِلَى رَحْلِهِ ، فَأَمَرَ لِي بِعُسٍّ مِنْ لَبَنٍ ، فَشَرِبْتُ مِنْهُ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : عُدْ يَا أَبَا هِرٍّ ، فَعُدْتُ فَشَرِبْتُ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : عُدْ ، فَعُدْتُ فَشَرِبْتُ حَتَّى اسْتَوَى بَطْنِي فَصَارَ كَالْقِدْحِ ، قَالَ : فَلَقِيتُ عُمَرَ وَذَكَرْتُ لَهُ الَّذِي كَانَ مِنْ أَمْرِي ، وَقُلْتُ لَهُ : فَوَلَّى اللَّهُ ذَلِكَ مَنْ كَانَ أَحَقَّ بِهِ مِنْكَ يَا عُمَرُ ، وَاللَّهِ لَقَدِ اسْتَقْرَأْتُكَ الْآيَةَ وَلَأَنَا أَقْرَأُ لَهَا مِنْكَ ، قَالَ عُمَرُ : وَاللَّهِ لَأَنْ أَكُونَ أَدْخَلْتُكَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ يَكُونَ لِي مِثْلُ حُمْرِ النَّعَمِ .

Narrated Abu Huraira: Once while I was in a state of fatigue (because of severe hunger), I met 'Umar bin Al-Khattab, so I asked him to recite a verse from Allah's Book to me. He entered his house and interpreted it to me. (Then I went out and) after walking for a short distance, I fell on my face because of fatigue and severe hunger. Suddenly I saw Allah's Apostle standing by my head. He said, O Abu Huraira! I replied, Labbaik, O Allah's Apostle, and Sadaik! Then he held me by the hand, and made me get up. Then he came to know what I was suffering from. He took me to his house, and ordered a big bowl of milk for me. I drank thereof and he said, Drink more, O Abu Hirr! So I drank again, whereupon he again said, Drink more. So I drank more till my belly became full and looked like a bowl. Afterwards I met 'Umar and mentioned to him what had happened to me, and said to him, Somebody, who had more right than you, O 'Umar, took over the case. By Allah, I asked you to recite a Verse to me while I knew it better than you. On that Umar said to me, By Allah, if I admitted and entertained you, it would have been dearer to me than having nice red camels.
