3578. Narrated Anas bin Mālik رضي الله عنه: Abū Ṭalha said to Umm Sulaim, "I have noticed feebleness in the voice of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ 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 Allāh's Messenger ﷺ. I went carrying it and found Allāh's Messenger ﷺ in the mosque sitting with some people. When I stood there, Allāh's Messenger ﷺ asked, "Has Abū Talha sent you?" I said, "Yes". He asked, "With some food?" I said, "Yes" Allāh's Messenger ﷺ then said to the men around him, "Get up!" He set out (accompanied by them) and I went ahead of them till I reached Abū Talha and told him (of the Prophet's visit). Abū Talha said, "O Umm Sulaim! Allāh's Messenger ﷺ is coming with the people and we have no food to feed them." She said, "Allāh and His Messenger know better." So, Abū Talha went out to receive Allāh's Messenger ﷺ. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ came along with Abū Talha. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "O Umm Sulaim! Bring whatever you have." She brought the bread which Allāh's Messenger ﷺ ordered to be broken into pieces. Umm Sulaim poured on them some butter from an oil-skin. Then Allāh's Messenger ﷺ recited what Allāh 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. Then he said, "Let another ten persons come." In short, all of them ate their fill, and they were seventy or eighty men.

3578 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ لِأُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ لَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ صَوْتَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ضَعِيفًا، أَعْرِفُ فِيهِ الجُوعَ، فَهَلْ عِنْدَكِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ؟ قَالَتْ: نَعَمْ، فَأَخْرَجَتْ أَقْرَاصًا مِنْ شَعِيرٍ، ثُمَّ أَخْرَجَتْ خِمَارًا لَهَا، فَلَفَّتِ الخُبْزَ بِبَعْضِهِ، ثُمَّ دَسَّتْهُ تَحْتَ يَدِي وَلاَثَتْنِي بِبَعْضِهِ، ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَتْنِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: فَذَهَبْتُ بِهِ، فَوَجَدْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي المَسْجِدِ، وَمَعَهُ النَّاسُ، فَقُمْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «آرْسَلَكَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ» فَقُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: «بِطَعَامٍ» فَقُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِمَنْ مَعَهُ: «قُومُوا» فَانْطَلَقَ وَانْطَلَقْتُ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ، حَتَّى جِئْتُ أَبَا طَلْحَةَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ، فَقَالَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ: يَا أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ قَدْ جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالنَّاسِ، وَلَيْسَ عِنْدَنَا مَا نُطْعِمُهُمْ؟ فَقَالَتْ: اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ، فَانْطَلَقَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ حَتَّى لَقِيَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَبُو طَلْحَةَ مَعَهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «هَلُمِّي يَا أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ، مَا عِنْدَكِ» فَأَتَتْ بِذَلِكَ الخُبْزِ، فَأَمَرَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَفُتَّ، وَعَصَرَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ عُكَّةً فَأَدَمَتْهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِيهِ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَقُولَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «ائْذَنْ لِعَشَرَةٍ» فَأَذِنَ لَهُمْ، فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا ثُمَّ خَرَجُوا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «ائْذَنْ لِعَشَرَةٍ» فَأَذِنَ لَهُمْ، فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا ثُمَّ خَرَجُوا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «ائْذَنْ لِعَشَرَةٍ» فَأَذِنَ لَهُمْ، فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا ثُمَّ خَرَجُوا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «ائْذَنْ لِعَشَرَةٍ» فَأَكَلَ القَوْمُ كُلُّهُمْ وَشَبِعُوا، وَالقَوْمُ سَبْعُونَ أَوْ ثَمَانُونَ رَجُلًا "
