The Prophet noticed the absence of Thabit bin Qais. A man said, “O Allah’s Apostle! I shall bring
you his news.” So he went to him and saw him sitting in his house drooping his head (sadly). He
asked Thabit, “What’s the matter?” Thabit replied, “An evil situation: A man used to raise his voice
over the voice of the Prophet and so all his good deeds have been annulled and he is from the people
of Hell.” The man went back and told the Prophet that Thabit had said so-and-so. (The sub-narrator,
Musa bin Anas said, “The man went to Thabit again with glad tidings).” The Prophet said to him, “Go
and say to Thabit: ‘You are not from the people of Fire, but from the people of Paradise.”

trunks till the pulpit was made for him, and he used it instead. Then we heard the trunk sending a
sound like of a pregnant she-camel till the Prophet came to it, and put his hand over it, then it be –
came quiet.”

Abu Talha said to Um Sulaim, “I have noticed feebleness in the voice of Allah’s Apostle which I
think, is caused by hunger. Have you got any food?” She said, “Yes.” She brought out some loaves of
barley and took out a veil belonging to her, and wrapped the bread in part of it and put it under my
arm and wrapped part of the veil round me and sent me to Allah’s Apostle. I went carrying it and
found Allah’s Apostle in the Mosque sitting with some people. When I stood there, Allah’s Apostle
asked, “Has Abu Talha sent you?” I said, “Yes”. He asked, “With some food? I said, “Yes” Allah’s Apostle
then said to the men around him, “Get up!” He set out (accompanied by them) and I went ahead of
them till I reached Abu Talha and told him (of the Prophet’s visit). Abu Talha said, “O Um Sulaim! Al –
lah’s Apostle is coming with the people and we have no food to feed them.” She said, “Allah and His
Apostle know better.” So Abu Talha went out to receive Allah’s Apostle. Allah’s Apostle came along
with Abu Talha. Allah’s Apostle said, “O Um Sulaim! Bring whatever you have.” She brought the
bread which Allah’s Apostle ordered to be broken into pieces. Um Sulaim poured on them some but –
ter from an oilskin. Then Allah’s Apostle recited what Allah wished him to recite, and then said, “Let
ten persons come (to share the meal).” Ten persons were admitted, ate their fill and went out. Then
he again said, “Let another ten do the same.” They were admitted, ate their fill and went out. Then he
again said, ‘”‘Let another ten persons (do the same.)” They were admitted, ate their fill and went out.

or eighty men.
