Once while I was in a state of fatigue (because of severe hunger), I met 'Umar bin Al-Khattab, and I asked him to recite a Verse from Allâh's Book to me. He entered his house and interpreted it to me. (Then I went out and) after walking for a short distance, I fell on my face because of fatigue and severe hunger. Suddenly I saw Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) standing by my head. He said, O Huraira ! " I replied, "Labbaik, Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ), and Sa ' daik ! " Then he held me by the hand, and made me get up. Then he came to know what I was suffering from. He took me to his house, and ordered a big bowl of milk for me. I drank thereof and he said, "Drink more, O Abu Huraira ! " So I drank again, whereupon he again said, "Drink more." So I drank more till my belly became full and looked like a bowl. Afterwards I met 'Umar and mentioned to him what had happened to me, and said to him, "Somebody, who had more right than you, O Umar, took over the case. By Allâh, I asked you to recite a Verse to me while I knew it better than you." On that 'Umar said to me, "By Allâh, if I admitted and entertained you, it would have been dearer to me than having nice red camels ". [7:287 (B)-O.B]
