1066 — Abū Bakr Abd Allah ibn Muhammad ibn Abd al-Hamīd al-Wāsitī narrated to us, saying: Abū Hishām al-Rifāī narrated to us, saying: Abū Bakr ibn Ayyāsh narrated to us, saying: Āsim narrated to us, from Zirr, from Abd Allah—that is, Ibn Masūd—who said:

“I was tending sheep for Uqba ⦗1582⦘ ibn Abī Muayt when the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, came by with Abū Bakr. He asked, ‘Boy, do you have any milk?’ I replied, ‘No, Messenger of Allah.’ He said, ‘Then bring me a ewe.’

“I brought him a young ewe that had never been mated. He passed his hand over her udder and invoked a blessing. He then milked her into a bowl and drank from it, after which he handed it to Abū Bakr, who also drank. Then he said to the udder, ‘Contract,’ and it contracted.”
