وَحَدَّثَنِي سَلَمَةُ بْنُ شَبِيبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ أَعْيَنَ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْقِلٌ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَسْتَطْعِمُهُ فَأَطْعَمَهُ شَطْرَ وَسْقِ شَعِيرٍ فَمَا زَالَ الرَّجُلُ يَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ وَامْرَأَتُهُ وَضَيْفُهُمَا حَتَّى كَالَهُ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ لَوْ لَمْ تَكِلْهُ لأَكَلْتُمْ مِنْهُ وَلَقَامَ لَكُمْ ‏"‏ .

Narrator: Jabir

English translation
Jabir reported that a person came to Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) and asked for food. And he gave him half a wasq of barley, and the person and his wife and their guests kept on making use of it (as a food) until he weighed it (in order to find out the actual quantity, and it was no more). He came to Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) (and informed him about it). He said: Had you not weighed it, you would be eating out of it and it would have remained intact for you
বাংলা অনুবাদ
সালামাহ ইবনু শাবীব (রহঃ) ... জাবির (রাযিঃ) হতে রিওয়ায়াত করেন যে, জনৈক লোক খাবার চাইতে নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম এর নিকট আসলো। তিনি তাকে অর্ধ ওয়াস্‌ক যব খাবার জন্য দিলেন। লোকটি তা থেকে আহার করতে থাকল আর তার স্ত্রী এবং তাদের (দু’জনের) মেহমানরাও। পরিশেষে সে (একদিন) তা মেপে দেখল। ফলে তা ফুরিয়ে গেলে। তারপরে সে নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম এর নিকট (অভিযোগ নিয়ে) আসল। তিনি বললেন, যদি তুমি তা মেপে না দেখতে, তাহলে তোমরা তা থেকে আহার করতে থাকতে এবং তা তোমাদের জন্য (দীর্ঘ সময়) বিদ্যমান থাকত। (ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশন ৫৭৪৭, ইসলামিক সেন্টার)
