"What you taught him when he was ignorant, and fed him when he was hungry or starving." It was narrated by Abū Dāwūd (1/408-409), Ibn Mājah (2/44), al-Ḥākim (4/133), al-Bayhaqī (10/2), Aḥmad (4/166-167), and Ibn Saʿd (7/55) from Abū Bishr from ʿUbādah ibn Sharḥabīl who said: "A drought struck me, so I entered an orchard from the orchards of the city, and I rubbed some ears of grain and ate, and carried some in my garment.
