How authentic is the Hadith: (A man entered upon his family, and when he saw their need, he went out into the wilderness. When his wife saw him, she rose to the hand mill and set it, and to the oven and stoked it. Then she said: O Allah, provide for us. She looked, and behold, the bowl was full. He said: And she went to the oven and found it full. He said: Then the husband returned and said: Did you receive anything after I left? His wife said: Yes, from our Lord. He went to the hand mill. This was mentioned to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: Had he not lifted it, it would have continued to turn until the Day of Resurrection. I witnessed the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, saying: By Allah, for one of you to come with a small amount of dates, then carry it and sell it, and thus suffice himself, is better for him than to go to a man and ask him)? And is it permissible to narrate it?
