I was a young boy tending sheep for Uqba bin Abu Muayt when the Prophet ﷺ and Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, came by, having fled from the polytheists.They said, "Boy, do you have any milk you can give us to drink?"I replied, "I have been entrusted with these sheep, so I cannot give you any to drink."The Prophet ﷺ then asked, "Do you have a young she-goat that no male has yet covered?"I said, "Yes," and brought one to them. The Prophet ﷺ held it firmly, wiped its udder, and made supplication. The udder filled with milk. Then Abu Bakr brought him a hollowed-out rock, and he milked the goat into it. He drank, Abu Bakr drank, and then I drank. After that, he said to the udder, "Shrink back," and it shrank back.I came to him afterwards and said, "Teach me some of this speech."He said, "You are a boy who has been taught."I learned from his mouth seventy surahs that no one disputes with me about.
حدثنا عفان حدثنا حماد بن سلمة عن عاصم بن بهدلة عن زر بن حبيش
كنت غلاما يافعا أرعى غنما لعقبة بن أبي معيط فجاء النبي ﷺ وأبو بكر رضي الله تعالى عنه وقد فرا من المشركين فقالا يا غلام هل عندك من لبن تسقينا قلت إني مؤتمن ولست ساقيكما فقال النبي ﷺ هل عندك من جذعة لم ينز عليها الفحل قلت نعم فأتيتهما بها فاعتقلها النبي ﷺ ومسح الضرع ودعا فحفل الضرع ثم أتاه أبو بكر بصخرة منقعرة فاحتلب فيها فشرب وشرب أبو بكر ثم شربت ثم قال للضرع اقلص فقلص فأتيته بعد ذلك فقلت علمني من هذا القول قال إنك غلام معلم قال فأخذت من فيه سبعين سورة لا ينازعني فيها أحد
