181 - (2059) حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «طَعَامُ الرَّجُلِ يَكْفِي رَجُلَيْنِ، وَطَعَامُ رَجُلَيْنِ يَكْفِي أَرْبَعَةً، وَطَعَامُ أَرْبَعَةٍ يَكْفِي ثَمَانِيَةً»
