Abu Talha said to Um Sulaim, “I heard the voice of Allah’s Apostle rather weak, and I knew that it
was because of hunger. Have you anything (to present to the Prophet)?” She said, “Yes.” Then she took
out a few loaves of barley bread and took a veil of hers and wrapped the bread with a part of it and
sent me to Allah’s Apostle. I went and found Allah’s Apostle sitting in the mosque with some people. I
stood up before him. Allah’s Apostle said to me, “Has Abu Talha sent you?” I said, ‘ Yes. Then Allah’s
Apostle said to those who were with him. “Get up and proceed.” I went ahead of them (as their fore –
runner) and came to Abu Talha and informed him about it. Abu Talha said, “O Um Sulaim! Allah’s
Apostle has come and we have no food to feed them.” Um Sulaim said, “Allah and His Apostle know
best.” So Abu Talha went out (to receive them) till he met Allah’s Apostle.
Allah’s Apostle came in company with Abu Talha and they entered the house. Allah’s Apostle said,
“O Um Sulaim! Bring whatever you have.” So she brought that (barley) bread and Allah’s Apostle
ordered that bread to be broken into small pieces, and then Um Sulaim poured over it some butter
from a leather butter container, and then Allah’s Apostle said what Allah wanted him to say, (i.e.
blessing the food). Allah’s Apostle then said, “Admit ten men.” Abu Talha admitted them and they ate
to their fill and went out. He again said, “Admit ten men.” He admitted them, and in this way all the
people ate to their fill, and they were seventy or eighty men.”
