Muwatta 2684

Yahya narrated to me from Malik, from Ishaq ibn Abdallah ibn Abi Talha, that he heard Anas ibn Malik (may God be pleased with him) say: Abu Talha said to Umm Sulaym: I heard the voice of the Messenger of God ﷺ weak, and I recognised hunger in it. Do you have anything? She said: yes; she took out some barley loaves, wrapped the bread in part of her headscarf, and sent me to the Messenger of God. I found him in the mosque with people. He said: did Abu Talha send you? I said: yes. He said: for food? I said: yes. He said to those with him: get up. He set off, and Abu Talha came with the Prophet. The Prophet said: come, Umm Sulaym, what do you have? He ordered the bread crumbled, and Umm Sulaym squeezed her butter jar over it as a relish. Then he said: let ten in. They ate until they were full; then he said: let ten in, until all the people had eaten and were full, and they were seventy or eighty men. ¹
