Sayyidina Miqdad ibn Aswad (RA) reported: I and my two friends (came to Madinah). Our hearing and sight had gone weak from hunger. We presented ourselves to the sahabah (RA) but none o f them accepted us. So we went to the Prophet (SAW) and he took us to his home there were three sheep. The Prophet (SAW) said to us “Milk these sheep.” So, we milked them and each of us drank his portion and kept aside the Prophet’s (SAW) shares. He would come in the night and offer salaam in such a way that if anyone was sleeping then he would not be disturbed while one who was awake heard him. He would then go to the mosque and offer salah. When he returned, he drank his share of milk.
[Muslim 2055, Ahmed 23873]
