Volume 7, Book 65, Number 294:
Narrated ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Abu Bakr:
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.

Narrated Suwaid bin An-Nu’man:
We went out with Allah’s Apostle to Khaibar, and when we were at As-Sahba’, (Yahya, a sub-nar –
rator said, “As-Sahba’ is a place at a distance of one day’s journey to Khaibar).” Allah’s Apostle asked
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).
