Narrator:Asmā bint Abu Bakr

حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي وَ، حَدَّثَتْنِي أَيْضًا، فَاطِمَةُ عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ قَالَتْ صَنَعْتُ سُفْرَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي بَيْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ حِينَ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُهَاجِرَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ، قَالَتْ فَلَمْ نَجِدْ لِسُفْرَتِهِ وَلاَ لِسِقَائِهِ مَا نَرْبِطُهُمَا بِهِ، فَقُلْتُ لأَبِي بَكْرٍ

وَاللَّهِ مَا أَجِدُ شَيْئًا أَرْبِطُ بِهِ إِلاَّ نِطَاقِي‏.‏ قَالَ فَشُقِّيهِ بِاثْنَيْنِ، فَارْبِطِيهِ بِوَاحِدٍ السِّقَاءَ وَبِالآخَرِ السُّفْرَةَ‏.‏ فَفَعَلْتُ، فَلِذَلِكَ سُمِّيَتْ ذَاتَ النِّطَاقَيْنِ‏.‏

Narrated Asma:

I prepared the journey-food for Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in Abu Bakr's house when he intended to emigrate to Medina. I could not find anything to tie the food-container and the water skin with. So, I said to Abu Bakr, "By Allah, I do not find anything to tie (these things) with except my waist belt." He said, "Cut it into two pieces and tie the water-skin with one piece and the food-container with the other (the subnarrator added, "She did accordingly and that was the reason for calling her Dhatun-Nitaqain (i.e. twobelted woman)).

Reported by Al-Bukhari (No. 2979) and Ahmad (No. 25691).

Explanation in Arabic

عندما أراد النبيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أن يهاجر من مكة إلى المدينة صنعت أسماء بنت أبي بكر رضي الله عنهمتا طعامًا لسفرهما في بيت أبيها أبي بكر الصديق، فلم تجد شيئًا لتربط به سفرة الطعام وسقاء الماء، فأخبرت أباها أنها لا تجد ما تربط به إلا نطاقها، وهو ما تشد به المرأة وسطها المهنة، فأمرها أن تشقه إلى قطعتين فتربط بأحدهما الطعام وبالآخر السقاء، ففعلت ما أمرها به، ولذلك سُميت أسماء بذات النطاقين.

  • جواز حمل الزاد لأجل السفر.
  • بيان سبب تسمية أسماء بذات النطاقين.

حَدِيث أَسْمَاء بِنْت أَبِي بَكْر فِي تَسْمِيَتهَا ذَات النِّطَاقَيْنِ , وَالْغَرَض مِنْهُ قَوْلهَا " فَلَمْ تَجِد لِسُفْرَتِهِ وَلَا لِسِقَائِهِ مَا تَرْبِطهُمَا بِهِ " فَإِنَّهُ ظَاهِر فِي حَمْل آلَة الزَّاد فِي السَّفَر , وَسَيَأْتِي الْكَلَام عَلَى شَرْحه فِي أَبْوَاب الْهِجْرَة. وَالنِّطَاق بِكَسْرِ النُّون مَا تَشُدُّ بِهِ الْمَرْأَة وَسَطهَا لِيَرْتَفِع بِهِ ثَوْبهَا مِنْ الْأَرْض عِنْد الْمِهْنَة.…

O Abu Bakr, what do you think of two persons, the third of whom is Allah?

When we were in the cave, I saw the feet of the polytheists as I raised my head, and I said: O Messenger of Allah, if one of them looked below his feet, he would see us. He said: "O Abu Bakr, what do you think of two persons, the third of whom is Allah?"
