Bakr would be upset so when he returned I withdrew. He inquired
how the food had been and was informed what had happened. He
called out, „Abdur Rahman', but I remained silent. He then called
out, „You stupid youth, I put you on oath that if you hear my voice
come forward.‟ So I came out and said, „Ask your guests.‟ They told
him, „He is telling the truth. He did bring the food to us.‟ Then Abu
Bakr said, „You waited for me, but by Allah I shall not eat of this food
this night.‟ Thereupon his guests said, „We shall not eat, unless you
also eat.‟ Abu Bakr said, „What is the matter with you that you do not
accept our hospitality? Bring the food!‟ The food was brought, and
he said, „My oath was incited by satan‟ and he reached out his hand
and said, „In the Name of Allah‟ and ate; and so his guests also ate.”
Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Abdur Rahman, the son of Abu Bakr who
related this.
