حَدَّثَنَا الأَنْصَارِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْنٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، وَأَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، رضى الله عنه قَالَ كَانَ النَّاسُ إِذَا رَأَوْا أَوَّلَ الثَّمَرِ جَاءُوا بِهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَإِذَا أَخَذَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِي ثِمَارِنَا وَبَارِكْ لَنَا فِي مَدِينَتِنَا وَبَارِكْ لَنَا فِي صَاعِنَا وَمُدِّنَا اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَبْدُكَ وَخَلِيلُكَ وَنَبِيُّكَ وَإِنِّي عَبْدُكَ وَنَبِيُّكَ وَإِنَّهُ دَعَاكَ لِمَكَّةَ وَأَنَا أَدْعُوكَ لِلْمَدِينَةِ بِمِثْلِ مَا دَعَاكَ بِهِ لِمَكَّةَ وَمِثْلِهِ مَعَهُ " . ثُمَّ يَدْعُو أَصْغَرَ وَلِيدٍ يَرَاهُ فَيُعْطِيهِ ذَلِكَ الثَّمَرَ . قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ .
Abu Hurairah [may Allah be pleased with him] narrates, saying: “When The People Would See The First Fruit, They Would Bring It To The Messenger Of Allah (ﷺ). When The Messenger Of Allah (ﷺ) Would Take It, He Would Say: ‘O Allah, Bless For Us Our Fruits, And Bless For Us Our City, And Bless For Us Our Sa` And Our Mudd, O Allah, Verily, Ibrahim Is Your Worshipper And Your Friend And Your Prophet, And Verily I Am Your Slave And Your Prophet, And Indeed, He (I.E., Ibrahim As) Supplicated To You For Makkah, And I Supplicate To You For Al-Madinah With The Like Of That With Which He Supplicated To You For Makkah, And The Like Of It With It.’ He Said: Then He Would Call The Smallest Young Child He Saw And Give Him That Fruit.
