Sahih Muslim Book - 43, Hadith - 5945

وحَدَّثَنِي سَلَمَةُ بْنُ شَبِيبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ أَعْيَنَ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْقِلٌ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، أَنَّ أُمَّ مَالِكٍ ، كَانَتْ تُهْدِي لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي عُكَّةٍ لَهَا سَمْنًا ، فَيَأْتِيهَا بَنُوهَا فَيَسْأَلُونَ الأُدْمَ ، وَلَيْسَ عِنْدَهُمْ شَيْءٌ ، فَتَعْمِدُ إِلَى الَّذِي كَانَتْ تُهْدِي فِيهِ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَتَجِدُ فِيهِ سَمْنًا ، فَمَا زَالَ يُقِيمُ لَهَا أُدْمَ بَيْتِهَا حَتَّى عَصَرَتْهُ ، فَأَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ : عَصَرْتِيهَا ؟ قَالَتْ: نَعَمْ ، قَالَ لَوْ تَرَكْتِيهَا مَا زَالَ قَائِمًا.

It was narrated from Jabir that Umm Malik used to give ghee to the Prophet (s.a.w) in a butter-skin of hers. Her sons used to go to her and asked for condiments, when they did not have anything. She would go to that skin in which she used to give (ghee) to the Prophet (s.a.w) and would find some ghee in it. It kept providing condiment for her family until one day she squeezed it. She went to the Prophet (s.a.w) and he said: “Did you squeeze it?” She said: “Yes.” He said: “If you had left it alone the ghee would still be there.”
