Hadith #342
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ الْمُنْكَدِرِ غَيْرَ مَرَّةٍ يَقُولُ عَنْ جَابِرٍ وَكَأَنِّي سَمِعْتُهُ مَرَّةً يَقُولُ أَخْبَرَنِي مَنْ سَمِعَ جَابِرًا وَظَنَنْتُهُ سَمِعَهُ مِنْ ابْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَكَلَ لَحْمًا ثُمَّ صَلَّى وَلَمْ يَتَوَضَّأْ وَأَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ أَكَلَ لَحْمًا ثُمَّ صَلَّى وَلَمْ يَتَوَضَّأْ وَأَنَّ عُمَرَ أَكَلَ لَحْمًا ثُمَّ صَلَّى وَلَمْ يَتَوَضَّأْ
English Translation
Sufyan narrated to us, he said: I heard Ibn al-Munkadir on more than one occasion say, from Jabir — and I think I heard him once say: 'One who heard Jabir informed me,' and I believe he heard it from Ibn al-Munkadir and 'Abdullah ibn Muhammad ibn 'Aqil — from Jabir (رضي الله عنهما) that the Prophet ﷺ said: 'Whoever is granted his share of gentleness has been granted his share of goodness. And whoever is deprived of his share of gentleness has been deprived of his share of goodness.'
