Narrated Al-Bara: We were one-thousand-and-four-hundred persons on the day of Al-Hudaibiya (Treaty), and (at) Al- Hudaibiya (there) was a well. We drew out its water not leaving even a single drop. The Prophet sat at the edge of the well and asked for some water with which he rinsed his mouth and then he threw it out into the well. We stayed for a short while and then drew water from the well and quenched our thirst, and even our riding animals drank water to their satisfaction.

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 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! Allah'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 butter 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. Then he said, Let another ten persons come. In short, all of them ate their fill, and they were seventy or eighty men.

He paid them their rights and what remained was as much as had been paid to them.

The Prophet once said, Whoever has food enough for two persons, should take a third one (from among them), and whoever has food enough for four persons, should take a fifth or a sixth (or said something similar). Abu Bakr brought three persons while the Prophet took ten. And Abu Bakr with his three family member (who were I, my father and my mother) (the sub-narrator is in doubt whether `Abdur-Rahman said, My wife and my servant who was common for both my house and Abu Bakr's house. ) Abu Bakr took his supper with the Prophet and stayed there till he offered the `Isha' prayers. He returned and stayed till Allah's Apostle took his supper. After a part of the night had passed, he returned to his house. His wife said to him, What has detained you from your guests? He said, Have you served supper to them? She said, They refused to take supper until you come. They (i.e. some members of the household) presented the meal to them but they refused (to eat) I went to hide myself and he said, O Ghunthar! He invoked Allah to cause my ears to be cut and he rebuked me. He then said (to them): Please eat! and added, I will never eat the meal. By Allah, whenever we took a handful of the meal, the meal grew from underneath more than that handful till everybody ate to his satisfaction; yet the remaining food was more than the original meal. Abu Bakr saw that the food was as much or more than the original amount. He called his wife, O sister of Bani Firas! She said, O pleasure of my eyes. The food has been tripled in quantity. Abu Bakr then started eating thereof and said, It (i.e. my oath not to eat) was because of Sa all. He took a handful from it, and carried the rest to the Prophet. So that food was with the Prophet . There was a treaty between us and some people, and when the period of that treaty had elapsed, he divided US into twelve groups, each being headed by a man. Allah knows how many men were under the command of each leader. Anyhow, the Prophet surely sent a leader with each group. Then all of them ate of that meal.
Read More..Narrated Anas: Once during the lifetime of Allah's Apostle, the people of Medina suffered from drought. So while the Prophet was delivering a sermon on a Friday a man got up saying, O Allah's Apostle! The horses and sheep have perished. Will you invoke Allah to bless us with rain? The Prophet lifted both his hands and invoked. The sky at that time was as clear as glass. Suddenly a wind blew, raising clouds that gathered together, and it started raining heavily. We came out (of the Mosque) wading through the flowing water till we reached our homes. It went on raining till the next Friday, when the same man or some other man stood up and said, O Allah's Apostle! The houses have collapsed; please invoke Allah to withhold the rain. On that the Prophet smiled and said, O Allah, (let it rain) around us and not on us. I then looked at the clouds to see them separating forming a sort of a crown round Medina.
