Abu Bakr invited a group of people and told me, Look after your guests. Abu Bakr added, I am going to visit the Prophet (ﷺ) and you should finish serving them before I return. `Abdur-Rahman said, So I went at once and served them with what was available at that time in the house and requested them to eat. They said, Where is the owner of the house (i.e., Abu Bakr)? `Abdur-Rahman said, Take your meal. They said, We will not eat till the owner of the house comes. `Abdur-Rahman said, Accept your meal from us, for if my father comes and finds you not having taken your meal yet, we will be blamed severely by him, but they refused to take their meals . So I was sure that my father would be angry with me. When he came, I went away (to hide myself) from him. He asked, What have you done (about the guests)? They informed him the whole story. Abu Bakr called, O `Abdur Rahman! I kept quiet. He then called again. O `Abdur-Rahman! I kept quiet and he called again, O ignorant (boy)! I beseech you by Allah, if you hear my voice, then come out! I came out and said, Please ask your guests (and do not be angry with me). They said, He has told the truth; he brought the meal to us. He said, As you have been waiting for me, by Allah, I will not eat of it tonight. They said, By Allah, we will not eat of it till you eat of it. He said, I have never seen a night like this night in evil. What is wrong with you? Why don't you accept your meals of hospitality from us? (He said to me), Bring your meal. I brought it to him, and he put his hand in it, saying, In the name of Allah. The first (state of fury) was because of Satan. So Abu Bakr ate and so did his guests.

':'Telah menceritakan kepada kami Ayyasy bin Al Walid telah menceritakan kepada kami Abdul A'la telah menceritakan kepada kami Sa'id Al Jurairi dari Abu Utsman dari Abdurrahman bin Abu Bakr radliallahu 'anhuma bahwa Abu Bakar kedatangan tamu beberapa orang lalu dia berkata kepada Abdurrahman; 'Layani tamu-tamumu dengan baik karena aku hendak menemui Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam pergilah untuk menjamu mereka sebelum aku kembali.' Lantas Abdurrahman beranjak dan menjamu apa yang dia miliki kepada mereka lalu dia berkata; 'Silahkan makan.' Namun mereka berkata; 'Kemanakah tuan rumah?' Abdurrahman berkata; 'Makanlah.' Mereka tetap berkata; 'Kami tidak akan menyantap makanan sampai tuan rumah datang.' Abdurrahman berkata; 'Terimalah jamuan kalian ini karena bila ia datang sedangkan kalian belum memakannya dia akan membuangnya.' Namun mereka tetap menolaknya maka akupun tahu kalau Abu Bakr akan memarahiku ketika dia datang aku langsung menghidar darinya Abu Bakr berkata; 'Apakah kalian telah memakannya?' maka mereka mengabarinya (bahwa mereka belum menjamahnya) maka Abu Bakr menyeru; 'Wahai Abdurrahman?' aku pun terdiam kemudian dia berkata lagi; 'Wahai Abdurrahman?' aku tetap diam lalu dia berkata; 'Wahai Ghuntsar (sebutan untuk Abdurrahman) aku bersumpah kepadamu jika kamu mendengar suaraku.' Ketika aku datang dan keluar aku langsung berkata; 'Tanyalah kepada para tamumu.' Mereka pun menjawab; 'Dia benar dia telah menyodorkannya kepada kami.' Abu Bakr berkata; 'Apakah kalian menungguku? demi Allah aku tidak akan makan malam ini.' Dan yang lain pun menimpali; 'Demi Allah kami tidak akan memakannya hingga kamu memakannya lebih dulu.' Abu Bakr berkata; 'Aku sama sekali tidak pernah melihat keburukan seperti yang terjadi malam ini.' Celakalah kalian kenapa kalian tidak mau menerima hidangan kami? Berikanlah makananmu kepadaku ' lalu disodorkanlah makanan tersebut kepadanya kemudian dia meletakkan di tangannya dan berkata; 'Dengan nama Allah (sumpah) yang pertama adalah untuk syetan.' Lalu Abu Bakr memakannya dan mereka pun ikut makan.''
