English Translation

ʿAlī ibn ʿAbd Allāh narrated to us, he said: Muḥammad ibn Maʿn ibn Muḥammad ibn Maʿn ibn Naḍlah ibn ʿAmr al-Ghifārī — a man of Madinah — narrated to me, he said: My grandfather Muḥammad ibn Maʿn narrated to me, from his father Maʿn ibn Naḍlah, from Naḍlah ibn ʿAmr al-Ghifārī, that he met the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at Marrabbayn. His she-camels that had recently given birth rushed at him. He gave the Messenger of Allah ﷺ water to drink, then drank the remainder of a vessel and was filled by it. Then he said: "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I used to drink seven vessels and not be full." the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The believer drinks in one intestine, and the disbeliever drinks in seven intestines."
