Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنِ الْبَهْزِيَّةِ أُمِّ مَالِكٍ كَانَتْ تُهْدِي فِي عُكَّةٍ لَهَا سَمْنًا لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَبَيْنَمَا بَنُوهَا يَسْأَلُونَهَا عَنْ إِدَامٍ وَلَيْسَ عِنْدَهَا شَيْءٌ فَعَمَدَتْ إِلَى نِحْيِهَا الَّتِي كَانَتْ تُهْدِي فِيهِ السَّ
مْنَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَوَجَدَتْ فِيهِ سَمْنًا فَمَا زَالَ يُقِيمُ لَهَا إِدَامَ بَنِيهَا حَتَّى عَصَرَتْهُ فَأَتَتْ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ أَعَصَرْتِيهِ فَقَالَتْ نَعَمْ قَالَ لَوْ تَرَكْتِيهِ مَا زَالَ ذَلِكَ مُقِيمًا

English Translation
Musa narrated to us, Ibn Lahi'ah narrated to us, from Abu al-Zubayr, from Jabir (رضي الله عنه), from al-Bahziyyah Umm Malik — she used to gift clarified butter (samn) in a small leather container to the Prophet ﷺ. While her sons were asking her for cooking fat and she had nothing, she went to the container in which she used to send [butter] to the Prophet ﷺ, and she found butter in it. So she kept cooking with it for her sons for a long time, until she squeezed it dry. She came to the Prophet ﷺ and he said: 'Did you squeeze it?' She said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Had you left it alone, it would have continued to produce [butter].'
