Volume 8, Book 73, Number 163:
Narrated ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Abu Bakr:
Abu Bakr came with a guest or some guests, but he stayed late at night with the Prophet and when
he came, my mother said (to him), “Have you been detained from your guest or guests tonight?” He
said, “Haven’t you served the supper to them?” She replied, “We presented the meal to him (or to
them), but he (or they) refused to eat.” Abu Bakr became angry, rebuked me and invoked Allah to
cause (my) ears to be cut and swore not to eat of it!” I hid myself, and he called me, “O ignorant
(boy)!” Abu Bakr’s wife swore that she would not eat of it and so the guests or the guest swore that
they would not eat of it till he ate of it. Abu Bakr said, “All that happened was from Satan.” So he
asked for the meals and ate of it, and so did they. Whenever they took a handful of the meal, the meal
grew (increased) from underneath more than that mouthful. He said (to his wife), “O, sister of Bani
Firas! What is this?” She said, “O, pleasure of my eyes! The meal is now more than it had been before
we started eating” So they ate of it and sent the rest of that meal to the Prophet. It is said that the
Prophet also ate of it.

Volume 8, Book 73, Number 162:
Narrated ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Abu Bakr:
Abu Bakr invited a group of people and told me, “Look after your guests.” Abu Bakr added, I am
going to visit the Prophet and you should finish serving them before I return.” ‘Abdur-Rahman said,
So I went at once and served them with what was available at that time in the house and requested
them to eat.” They said, “Where is the owner of the house (i.e., Abu Bakr)?” ‘Abdur-Rahman said,
“Take your meal.” They said, “We will not eat till the owner of the house comes.” ‘Abdur-Rahman said,
“Accept your meal from us, for if my father comes and finds you not having taken your meal yet, we
will be blamed severely by him, but they refused to take their meals . So I was sure that my father
would be angry with me. When he came, I went away (to hide myself) from him. He asked, “What
have you done (about the guests)?” They informed him the whole story. Abu Bakr called, “O ‘Abdur
Rahman!” I kept quiet. He then called again. “O ‘Abdur-Rahman!” I kept quiet and he called again, “O
ignorant (boy)! I beseech you by Allah, if you hear my voice, then come out!” I came out and said,
“Please ask your guests (and do not be angry with me).” They said, “He has told the truth; he brought
the meal to us.” He said, “As you have been waiting for me, by Allah, I will not eat of it tonight.” They
said, “By Allah, we will not eat of it till you eat of it.” He said, I have never seen a night like this night
in evil. What is wrong with you? Why don’t you accept your meals of hospitality from us?” (He said
to me), “Bring your meal.” I brought it to him, and he put his hand in it, saying, “In the name of Allah.
The first (state of fury) was because of Satan.” So Abu Bakr ate and so did his guests.
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.

it as a present?” He said, “I will sell you (a sheep).” The Prophet bought a sheep and it was
slaughtered. The Prophet ordered that its liver and other abdominal organs be roasted. By Allah, the
Prophet gave every person of the one-hundred-and-thirty a piece of that; he gave all those of them
who were present; and kept the shares of those who were absent.The Prophet then put its meat in
two huge basins and all of them ate to their fill, and even then more food was left in the two basins
