Shama'il al-Muhammadiya 170

Jabir ibn Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) says, Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to our house. We slaughtered a goat in his honour. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "It is as if they knew we adore meat." (Imam Tirmizi says, This hadith has a long incident, of which a portion is mentioned briefly here.)

حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ نُبَيْحٍ الْعَنَزِيِّ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، قَالَ: أَتَانَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ، فِي مَنْزِلِنَا، فَذَبَحْنَا لَهُ شَاةً، فَقَالَ: كَأَنَّهُمْ عَلِمُوا أَنَّا نُحِبُّ اللَّحْمَ وَفِي الْحَدِيثِ قِصَّةٌ.
