Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بْنِ صَيْفِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ إِنَّ صُهَيْبًا قَدِمَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَبَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ تَمْرٌ وَخُبْزٌ قَالَ ادْنُ فَكُلْ فَأَخَذَ يَأْكُلُ مِنْ التَّمْرِ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ بِعَيْنِكَ رَمَدًا فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّمَا آكُلُ مِنْ النَّاحِيَةِ الْأُخْرَى قَالَ فَتَبَسَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.
English Translation
Abu al-Nadr told us, Abdullah ibn al-Mubarak told us, from Abd al-Hamid ibn Sayfi, from his father, from his grandfather, who said: Suhayb came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, while there were dates and bread in front of him. He said, "Come close and eat." So he began eating from the dates. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said to him, "You have an inflammation in your eye." He said, "O Messenger of Allah, I am only eating from the other side." He said: so the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, smiled.
