English translation

3342. It was narrated that Anas bin Mālik said: "Umm Sulaim made some bread for the Prophet ﷺ, and she put a little ghee on it. Then she said: 'Go to the Prophet ﷺ and invite him (to come and eat).' So I went and told him: 'My mother is inviting you (to come and eat).' So he stood up, and said to the people who were with him: 'Get up.' I went ahead of him and told her. Then the Prophet ﷺ came and said: 'Bring what you have made.' She said: 'I only made it for you alone.' He said: 'Bring it.' Then he said: 'O Anas, bring (them) in to me ten by ten.' So I kept bringing them in ten by ten, and they ate their fill, and there were eighty of them." (Sahih)

3342 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ الطَّوِيلُ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: صَنَعَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: خُبْزَةً، وَضَعَتْ فِيهَا شَيْئًا مِنْ سَمْنٍ، ثُمَّ قَالَتْ: اذْهَبْ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَادْعُهُ قَالَ: فَأَتَيْتُهُ، فَقُلْتُ: أُمِّي تَدْعُوكَ، قَالَ، فَقَامَ، وَقَالَ: لِمَنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ مِنَ النَّاسِ «قُومُوا» قَالَ: فَسَبَقْتُهُمْ إِلَيْهَا، فَأَخْبَرْتُهَا، فَجَاءَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «هَاتِي مَا صَنَعْتِ» فَقَالَتْ: إِنَّمَا صَنَعْتُهُ لَكَ وَحْدَكَ، فَقَالَ: «هَاتِيهِ» فَقَالَ: «يَا أَنَسُ أَدْخِلْ عَلَيَّ عَشَرَةً عَشَرَةً» قَالَ، فَمَا زِلْتُ أُدْخِلُ عَلَيْهِ عَشَرَةً عَشَرَةً، فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا، وَكَانُوا ثَمَانِينَ "

Commentary

Increase in the food was a miracle of the Prophet ﷺ Preparing good food for a guest does not constitute the affectation that is forbidden. The Prophet ﷺ himself ate the bread and gave it to his Companions.
