He (Allah's Messenger) said: Here is 'A'isha also (and you should also invite her to the food). He said: No. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) also said: No (then I cannot join the feast). He returned inviting him, and Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: She is also there (i. e. 'A'isha should also be invited). He said: No. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) also said: No (and declined his offer). He returned again to invite him and Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) again said: She is also there. He (the host) said: Yes for the third time. Then he accepted his invitation, and both of them set out until they came to his house.

He said: What has brought you out of your houses at this hour? They said: Allah's Messenger, it is hunger. Thereupon he said: By Him in Whose Hand is my life, what has brought you out has brought me out too; get up. They got up along with him. and (all of them) came to the house of an Ansari, but he was not at home. When his wife saw him she said: Most welcome, and Allah's Messenger (may peace be Upon him) said to her: Where is so and so? She said: He has gone to get some fresh water for us. When the Ansari came and he saw Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and his two Companions, he said: Praise be to Allah, no one has more honourable guests today than I (have). He then went out and brought them a bunch of ripe dates, dry dates and fresh dates, and said: Eat some of them. He then took hold of his long knife (for slaughtering a goat or a sheep). Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said to him: Beware of killing a milch animal. He slaughtered a sheep for them and after they had eaten of it and of the bunch and drank, and when they had taken their fill and had been fully satisfied with the drink, Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said to Abu Bakr and Umar: By Him in Whose Hand is my life, you will certainly be questioned about this bounty on the Day of judgment. Hunger brought you out of your house, then you did not return until this bounty came to you.

Read More..Jabir b. 'Abdullah reported: When the ditch was dug, I saw Allah's Messenger (may peace he upon him) feeling very hungry. I came to my wife and said to her: Is there anything with you? I have seen Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) feeling extremely hungry. She brought out a bag of provisions which contained a sa', of barley. We had also with us a lamb. I slaughtered it. She ground the flour. She finished (this work) along with me. I cut it into pieces and put it in the earthen pot and then returned to Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) (for inviting him). She said: Do not humiliate me in the presence of Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and those who are with him. When I came to him I whispered to him saying: Allah's Messenger, we have slaughtered a lamb for you and she has ground a sa' of barley which we had with us. So you come along with a group of people with you. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said loudly: O people of the ditch, Jabir has arranged a feast for you, so (come along). Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Do not remove your earthen pot from the hearth and do not bake the bread from the kneaded flour until I come. So I came and Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) came and he was ahead of the people; and I came to my wife and she said (to me): You will be humbled. I said: I did what you had asked me to do. She (his wife) said: I brought out the kneaded flour and Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) put some saliva of his in that and blessed It. He then put saliva in the earthen pot and blessed it and then said. Call another baker who can bake with you. and bring out the soup from it, but do not remove it from the hearth, and the guests were one thousand. (Jabir said): I take an oath by Allah that all of them ate (the food to their fill) until they left it and went away and our earthen pot was brimming over as before, and so was the case with our flour, or as Dahhak (another narrator) said: It (the flour) was in the same condition and loaves had been prepared from that.
