Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْوَاسِطِيُّ وَهُوَ الْمُزَنِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مُصْعَبُ بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ أُهْدِيَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَمْرٌ فَجَعَلَ يَقْسِمُهُ بِمِكْتَلٍ وَاحِدٍ وَأَنَا رَسُولُهُ بِهِ حَتَّى فَرَغَ مِنْهُ قَالَ فَجَعَلَ يَأْكُلُ وَهُوَ مُقْعٍ أَكْلًا ذَرِيعًا فَعَرَفْتُ فِي أَكْلِهِ الْجُوعَ.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn al-Hasan al-Wasiti, that is al-Muzani, told us, he said: Mus'ab ibn Sulaym told me, from Anas ibn Malik, who said, "Dates were given as a gift to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and he began distributing them from a single basket, and I was his messenger carrying it, until he had finished with them." He said: He began to eat, squatting, eating quickly, and I recognized hunger in the way he ate.
