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 صلى الله عليه وسلم 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 .
Abdullah bin Busr Narrated from:
The Messenger Of Allah (ﷺ) 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 (Allāhumma Bārik Lahum Fī Mā Razaqtahum Waghfir Lahum WarḥAmhum).’”
