Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Abu Talha said to Um Sulaim, “I have heard the voice of Allah’s Apostle which was feeble, and I
think that he is hungry. Have you got something (to eat)?” She took out some loaves of barley bread,
then took her face-covering sheet and wrapped the bread in part of it, and pushed it under my gar –
ment and turned the rest of it around my body and sent me to Allah’s Apostle . I went with that, and
found Allah’s Apostle in the mosque with some people. I stood up near them, and Allah’s Apostle
asked me, “Have you been sent by Abu Talha?” I said, “Yes.” He asked, “With some food (for us)?” I
said, “Yes.” Then Allah’s Apostle said to all those who were with him, “Get up!” He set out (and all the
people accompanied him) and I proceeded ahead of them till I came to Abu Talha. Abu Talha then

said, “O Um Sulaim! Allah’s Apostle has arrived along with the people, and we do not have food
enough to feed them all.” She said, “Allah and His Apostle know better.” So Abu Talha went out till he
met Allah’s Apostle. Then Abu Talha and Allah’s Apostle came and entered the house. Allah’s Apostle
said, “Um Sulaim ! Bring whatever you have.” She brought that very bread. The Prophet ordered that
it be crushed into small pieces, and Um Sulaim pressed a skin of butter on it. Then Allah’s Apostle
said whatever Allah wished him to say (to bless the food) and then added, “Admit ten (men).” So they
were admitted, ate their fill and went out. The Prophet then said, “Admit ten (more).” They were ad –
mitted, ate their full, and went out. He then again said, “Admit ten more!” They were admitted, ate
their fill, and went out. He admitted ten more, and so all those people ate their fill, and they were
eighty men.

We were one hundred and thirty men sitting with the Prophet. The Prophet said, “Have anyone of
you any food with him?” It happened that one man had one Sa of wheat flour (or so) which was
turned into dough then. After a while a tall lanky pagan came, driving some sheep. The Prophet
asked, ‘Will you sell us (a sheep), or give (it to) us as a gift?” The pagan said, “No, but I will sell it ” So
the Prophet bought from him a sheep which was slaughtered, and then the Prophet ordered that the
liver, the kidneys, lungs and heart, etc., of that sheep be roasted. By Allah, none of those one hundred
and thirty men but had his share of those things. The Prophet gave to those who were present, and
also kept a share for those who were absent He then served that cooked sheep in two big trays and
we all ate together our fill; yet there remained a part of it in those two trays which I carried on the
camel.

the people to bring their food, but there was nothing with the people except Sawiq. So we all chewed
and ate of it. Then the Prophet asked for some water and he rinsed his mouth, and we too, rinsed our
mouths. Then he led us in the Maghrib prayer without performing ablution (again).
