English

[5316] 142 – (2040) Arias bin Mâlik said: "Abü Taltiah said to Umm Sulaim: 'I have heard the voice of the Messenger of Allah sounding weak, and I know that he is hungry. Do you have anything?' She said: 'Yes,' and she brought out some loaves of barley, then she took a head- cover of hers and wrapped the bread in part of it, then she put that beneath my garment and covered me with part of it, then she sent me to the Messenger of Allah . I took it and I found the Messenger of Allah sitting in the Masjid, and the people were with him. I stood near them and the Messenger of Allah said: 'Has Abü Talbah sent you?' I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Is it concerning food?' I said: 'Yes.' The Messenger of Allah said to those who were with him: 'Get up.' He set out, and I set out ahead of them, until I came to Abü Talbah, and I told him. Abu Talhah said: '0 Umm Sulaim, the Messenger of Allah has come with the people, and we do not have enough to feed them.' She said: 'Allah and His Messenger know best.' Abü Talbah went out and met the Messenger of Allah , and the Messenger of Allah came with him until they both entered. The Messenger of Allah said: 'Bring me what you have, 0 Umm Sulaim.' She brought that bread and the Messenger of Allah ordered that it be broken into small pieces. Then Umm Sulaim squeezed ghee over it from a small skin and seasoned it, then the Messenger of Allah said over it what Allah willed he should say. Then he said: 'Give permission for ten to enter.' He gave them permission and they ate until they were full, then they left. Then he said: 'Give permission for ten to enter.' He gave them permission and they ate until they were full, then they left. He said: 'Give permission for ten to enter,' until all the people had eaten their fill, and there were seventy or eighty men."
