Hadith text

(Narrated Aslam:Once I went with `Umar bin Al-Khattab to the market. A young woman followed `Umar and said, "O chief of the believers! My husband has died, leaving little children. By Allah, they have not even a sheep's trotter to cook; they have no farms or animals. I am afraid that they may die because of hunger, and I am the daughter of Khufaf bin Ima Al-Ghafari, and my father witnessed the Pledge of allegiance) of Al-Hudaibiya with the Prophet.' `Umar stopped and did not proceed, and said, "I welcome my near relative." Then he went towards a strong camel which was tied in the house, and carried on to it, two sacks he had loaded with food grains and put between them money and clothes and gave her its rope to hold and said, "Lead it, and this provision will not finish till Allah gives you a good supply." A man said, "O chief of the believers! You have given her too much." "`Umar said disapprovingly. "May your mother be bereaved of you! By Allah, I have seen her father and brother besieging a fort for a long time and conquering it, and then we were discussing what their shares they would have from that war booty

Aslam bataate hain: Ek baar main Umar bin Al-Khattab ke saath bazaar gaya. Ek jawan aurat Umar ke peeche aee aur kaha, "Aye Mominon ke Ameer! Mere shohar ka intiqal ho gaya hai, chhote bachche chhodkar. Allah ki qasam, unke paas pakane ke liye ek bhed ki taang bhi nahi hai; unke paas na khet hain na janwar. Mujhe dar hai ke woh bhookh se mar na jaen, aur main Khufaf bin Ima Al-Ghafari ki beti hoon, aur mere waalid ne Nabi ke saath Al-Hudaibiya ki bai'at dekhi thi." Umar ruke aur aage nahi badhe, aur kaha, "Main apne qareebi rishtedaar ka swagat karta hoon." Phir woh ek takatvaar unt ki taraf gaye jo ghar mein baandha hua tha, aur uspar unhone do bore laade jinmein unhone anaaj bhara tha, aur beech mein paisa aur kapde rakhe, aur uski rassi unhe pakadne ko di aur kaha, "Ise le jao, aur yeh saamaan tab tak khatm nahi hoga jab tak Allah tumhe achhi zeevika na de." Ek shaks ne kaha, "Aye Mominon ke Ameer! Aapne unhe bahut zyada de diya hai." Umar ne napasand karte huye kaha, "Teri maa tumhe khoe! Allah ki qasam, maine unke waalid aur bhai ko ek qile ka lamba ghera daalte aur use fatah karte dekha hai, aur phir hum charcha kar rahe the ke us jung mein unke kya hisse honge."
