English translation
[5323] (...) Anas bin Mâlik said: "I came to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and I found him sitting with his Companions and talking to them, and he had bound his stomach with a cloth." - Usâmah (a narrator) said: "And I am not sure whether he had tied a stone to it." - "I (Anas) said to some of his (ﷺ) Companions: 'Why has the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ bound his stomach?' They said: 'Because of hunger.' I went to Abû Talhah, who was the husband of Umm Sulaim bint Milhân, and I said: 'O my father, I have seen the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ with his stomach bound with a cloth, and I asked some of his Companions, and they said it is because of hunger.' Abû Talhah entered upon my mother and said: 'Is there anything?' She said: 'Yes, I have some pieces of bread and some dates. If the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ comes to us on his own, we can give him enough for him to eat his fill, but if someone else comes with him it will not be enough for them.'" Then he mentioned the rest of the story (as in Hadîth no. 5317).
