Volume 7, Book 65, Number 287i:
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. After –
wards 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.
