Aslam bin Thalaba reported,

I went out with Umar bin Khattab to the market when a young woman caught up with Umar and said, "Commander of the Faithful, my husband has died and left behind young children. By Allah, they have nothing fit to cook, no crops and no livestock, and I fear that hardship will consume them. I am the daughter of Khafaf bin Ima al-Ghifari, and my father was present at Hudaybiyyah with the Prophet ﷺ."Umar stopped with her and did not continue on. Then he said, "Welcome to a close kinship."He then went over to a strong camel that was tied up in the courtyard and loaded onto it two large sacks which he filled with food, placing between them money and clothing. He handed her its halter and said, "Lead it away. It will not run out before Allah brings you relief."A man said, "Commander of the Faithful, you have given her too much."Umar replied, "May your mother lose you. By Allah, I saw the father of this woman and her brother besiege a fortress for a long time and conquer it, and we went on to receive their shares of its spoils."

حدثنا إسماعيل بن عبد الله قال حدثني مالك

عن زيد بن أسلم عن أبيه قال

خرجت مع عمر بن الخطاب رضي الله عنه إلى السوق فلحقت عمر امرأة شابة فقالت يا أمير المؤمنين هلك زوجي وترك صبية صغارا والله ما ينضجون كراعا ولا لهم زرع ولا ضرع وخشيت أن تأكلهم الضبع وأنا بنت خفاف بن إيماء الغفاري وقد شهد أبي الحديبية مع النبي ﷺ فوقف معها عمر ولم يمض ثم قال مرحبا بنسب قريب ثم انصرف إلى بعير ظهير كان مربوطا في الدار فحمل عليه غرارتين ملأهما طعاما وحمل بينهما نفقة وثيابا ثم ناولها بخطامه ثم قال اقتاديه فلن يفنى حتى يأتيكم الله بخير فقال رجل يا أمير المؤمنين أكثرت لها قال عمر ثكلتك أمك والله إني لأرى أبا هذه وأخاها قد حاصرا حصنا زمانا فافتتحاه ثم أصبحنا نستفيء سهمانهما فيه
