Volume 7, Book 65, Number 336:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Allah’s Apostle said to Abu Talha, “Seek one of your boys to serve me.” Abu Talha mounted me be –
hind him (on his riding animal) and took me (to the Prophet ). So I used to serve Allah’s Apostle
whenever he dismounted (to stay somewhere). I used to hear him saying very often, “O Allah! I seek
refuge with You from, having worries sadness, helplessness, laziness, miserliness, cowardice, from
being heavily in debt and from being overpowered by other persons unjustly.” I kept on serving till
we -returned from the battle of Khaibar. The Prophet then brought Safiyya bint Huyai whom he had
won from the war booty. I saw him folding up a gown or a garment for her to sit on behind him (on
his she-camel). When he reached As-Sahba’, he prepared Hais and placed it on a dining sheet. Then
he sent me to invite men, who (came and) ate; and that was his and Safiyya’s wedding banquet. Then
the Prophet proceeded, and when he saw (noticed) the mountain of Uhud, he said, “This mountain
loves us, and we love it.” When we approached Medina, he said, “O Allah! I make the area between
its two mountains a sanctuary as Abraham has made Mecca a sanctuary. O Allah! Bless their Mudd
and Sa (special kinds of measure).”

A tailor invited Allah’s Apostle to a meal which he had prepared. I went along with Allah’s Apostle

hand.”
Volume 7, Book 65, Number 293:
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.

Allah’s Apostle took an oath that he would abstain from his wives, and at that time his leg had
been sprained (dislocated). So he stayed in the Mashruba (an attic room) of his for 29 days. Then he
came down, and they (the people) said, “O Allah’s Apostle! You took an oath to abstain from your
wives for one month.” He said, “The month is of twenty nine days.”
