Sahih al-Bukhari 6248

Hadith text

Narrated Abu Hazim:Sahl said, "We used to feel happy on Fridays." I asked Sahl, "Why?" He said, "There was an old woman of our acquaintance who used to send somebody to Buda'a (Ibn Maslama said, "Buda'a was a garden of date-palms at Medina). She used to pull out the silq (a kind of vegetable) from its roots and put it in a cooking pot, adding some powdered barley over it (and cook it). After finishing the Jumua (Friday) prayer we used to (pass by her and) greet her, whereupon she would present us with that meal, so we used to feel happy because of that. We used to have neither a midday nap, nor meals, except after the Friday prayer." (See Hadith No. 60, Vol)

Abu Hazim bataate hain: Sahl ne kaha, 'Hum Jumme ke din khush hote the.' Maine Sahl se pucha, 'Kyun?' Unhone kaha, 'Hamaari jaan-pehchaan ki ek boodhi khaatoon thin jo kisi ko Buda'a bhejti thin (Ravi Ibn Maslama kehte hain, "Buda'a Madina mein khajoor ke darakhton ka ek baag tha"). Wo silq (ek qism ki sabzi) uski jadon se nikaal kar ek degchi mein daalti, kuch pisi hui jau usmein milaakar (pakaati). Jumme ki namaz khatam karne ke baad, hum unhein salaam karte, isper wo hamein wo khaana dena, isliye hum uski wajah se khush hote the. Humaari koi dophar ki neend ya khaana nahi hota tha, siwaaye Jumme ki namaz ke baad.' (Poori tafseel ke liye Hadees No. 60, Jild 1 dekhein.)
