Gratitude in Action

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was invited to a meal and showed gratitude for the food by praying for the hosts.

'Abdullah bin Busr narrated: "The Messenger of Allah stayed with my father". So he said: "We brought some food near him, so he ate from it, then he was brought dates, so he would eat it and cast the pit with his two fingers" - he joined between his forefinger and middle finger - Shu'bah said: "And that is what I think concerning it, if Allah wills". - "and he cast the pit between two fingers, then he was brought drink, so he drank it and then passed it to the one on his right". He said: "So my father said - as he took hold of the rein of his beast: 'Supplicate for us.’ So he said: 'O Allah, bless for them what You have provided them, and forgive them, and have mercy on them (Allahumma barik lahum fi ma razaqtahum waghfir lahum warḥamhum).’"
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُوسَى، مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ خُمَيْرٍ الشَّامِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُسْرٍ، قَالَ نَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَلَى أَبِي فَقَرَّبْنَا إِلَيْهِ طَعَامًا فَأَكَلَ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ أُتِيَ بِتَمْرٍ فَكَانَ يَأْكُلُ وَيُلْقِي النَّوَى بِأُصْبُعَيْهِ جَمَعَ السَّبَّابَةَ وَالْوُسْطَى قَالَ شُعْبَةُ وَهُوَ ظَنِّي فِيهِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ فَأَلْقَى النَّوَى بَيْنَ أُصْبُعَيْنِ ثُمَّ أُتِيَ بِشَرَابٍ فَشَرِبَهُ ثُمَّ نَاوَلَهُ الَّذِي عَنْ يَمِينِهِ قَالَ فَقَالَ أَبِي وَأَخَذَ بِلِجَامِ دَابَّتِهِ ادْعُ لَنَا ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَهُمْ فِيمَا رَزَقْتَهُمْ وَاغْفِرْ لَهُمْ وَارْحَمْهُمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ أَيْضًا مِنْ غَيْرِ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُسْرٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) exemplary behavior when he was invited to a meal. He showed his gratitude for the food by eating it and then praying for his hosts. He joined his forefinger and middle finger together as he cast away the date pit with two fingers. After drinking from a drink that was brought to him, he passed it on to those sitting next to him on his right side. His prayer included asking Allah to bless what they were provided with, forgive them and have mercy on them. This hadith teaches us that we should be grateful for whatever we are given in life and show our appreciation through prayer or other means of expressing thanksgiving. We should also remember that whatever we have been blessed with is not only meant for us but also meant to be shared with others around us who may not have as much as we do.
