Anas b. Malik reported that Abu Talha said to Umm Sulaim: I felt some feebleness in the voice of Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and perceived that it was due to hunger; so have you anything with you? She said: Yes. She brought out barley loaves, then took out a head-covering of hers, in a part of which she wrapped those loaves and then put them beneath my mantle and covered me with a part of it. She then sent me to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ). I set forth and found Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) sitting in the mosque in the company of some persons. I stood near them, whereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Has Abu Talha sent you? I said, Yes. He said: Is it for a feast? I said. Yes. Thereupon Allah's messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said to'those who were with him to get up He went forth and so I did before them, until I came to Abu Talha and informed him. Abu Talba said: Umm Sulaim, here comes Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) along with people and we do not have enough (food) to feed them. She said: Allah and His Messenger know best. Abu Talha went out (to receive him) Until he met Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) came forward along with him until they both (Allah's Messenger, along with Abu Talha) came in. Then Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Umm Sulaim. bring forth that which you have with you. She brought the bread. Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) commanded that the bread be broken into small pieces, and when Umm Sulaim had squeezed a small waterskin and put seasoning on it, Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) recited something regarding it what Allah wished him to say. He then said: Allow ten (guests to come in and have their meals). He permitted them; they ate until they had their fill. They then went out. He (the Holy Prophet) again said: Permit ten (more) and he (the host gave permission to them. They ate until they had enough. Then they went out. he again said: Permit ten (more) until all the people had eaten to their fill, and they were seventy or eighty persons.
