Anas bin Malik said: "Abu Talhah said to Umm Sulaim: 'I have heard the voice of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) sounding weak, and I know that he is hungry. Do you have anything?' She said: 'Yes,' and she brought out some loaves of barley, then she took a head-cover of hers and wrapped the bread in part of it, then she put that beneath my garment and covered me with part of it, then she sent me to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w). I took it and I found the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) sitting in the Masjid, and the people were with him. I stood near them and the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'Has Abu Talhah sent you?' I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Is it concerning food?' I said: 'Yes.' The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said to those who were with him: 'Get up.' He set out, and I set out ahead of them, until I came to Abu Talhah, and I told him. Abu Talhah said: 'O Umm Sulaim, the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) has come with the people, and we do not have enough to feed them.' She said: 'Allah and His Messenger know best.' Abu Talhah went out and met the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w), and the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) came with him until they both entered. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'Bring me what you have, O Umm Sulaim.' She brought that bread and the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) ordered that it be broken into small pieces. Then Umm Sulaim squeezed ghee over it from a small skin and seasoned it, then the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said over it what Allah willed he should say. Then he said: 'Give permission for ten to enter.' He gave them permission and they ate until they were full, then they left. Then he said: 'Give permission for ten to enter.' He gave them permission and they ate until they were full, then they left. He said: 'Give permission for ten to enter,' until all the people had eaten their fill, and there were seventy or eighty men."

وحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى ، قَالَ: قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ لِأُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ: قَدْ سَمِعْتُ صَوْتَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ضَعِيفًا أَعْرِفُ فِيهِ الْجُوعَ ، فَهَلْ عِنْدَكِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ ؟ فَقَالَتْ: نَعَمْ ، فَأَخْرَجَتْ أَقْرَاصًا مِنْ شَعِيرٍ ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَتْ خِمَارًا لَهَا ، فَلَفَّتِ الْخُبْزَ بِبَعْضِهِ ، ثُمَّ دَسَّتْهُ تَحْتَ ثَوْبِي وَرَدَّتْنِي بِبَعْضِهِ ، ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَتْنِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ: فَذَهَبْتُ بِهِ ، فَوَجَدْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَالِسًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَمَعَهُ النَّاسُ ، فَقُمْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: أَرْسَلَكَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ ، قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ : نَعَمْ ، فَقَالَ : أَلِطَعَامٍ ؟ فَقُلْتُ: نَعَمْ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِمَنْ مَعَهُ : قُومُوا ، قَالَ: فَانْطَلَقَ ، وَانْطَلَقْتُ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ حَتَّى جِئْتُ أَبَا طَلْحَةَ ، فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ ، فَقَالَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ : يَا أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ ، قَدْ جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالنَّاسِ ، وَلَيْسَ عِنْدَنَا مَا نُطْعِمُهُمْ ، فَقَالَتْ: اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ ، قَالَ: فَانْطَلَقَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ حَتَّى لَقِيَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَعَهُ حَتَّى دَخَلاَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : هَلُمِّي مَا عِنْدَكِ يَا أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ ؟ فَأَتَتْ بِذَلِكَ الْخُبْزِ ، فَأَمَرَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَفُتَّ ، وَعَصَرَتْ عَلَيْهِ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ عُكَّةً لَهَا فَأَدَمَتْهُ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ فِيهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَقُولَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: ائْذَنْ لِعَشَرَةٍ ، فَأَذِنَ لَهُمْ فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا، ثُمَّ خَرَجُوا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: ائْذَنْ لِعَشَرَةٍ ، فَأَذِنَ لَهُمْ فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا ، ثُمَّ خَرَجُوا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: ائْذَنْ لِعَشَرَةٍ حَتَّى أَكَلَ الْقَوْمُ كُلُّهُمْ وَشَبِعُوا ، وَالْقَوْمُ سَبْعُونَ رَجُلاً ، أَوْ ثَمَانُونَ.

Anas bin Malik narrated: "Abu Talhah sent me to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) to invite him, as he had made some food. I came and found the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) with the people. He looked at me and I felt shy, so I said: Accept the invitation of Abu Talhah.' He said to the people: 'Get up.' Abu Talhah said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I only made something for you."' He said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) touched it and prayed that it might be blessed, then he said: 'Admit a group of my Companions, ten men.' And he said: 'Eat.' He brought out something for them from between his fingers, and they ate until they were full, then they left. Then he said: 'Admit (another) ten,' and they ate and left. They kept coming and going, ten by ten, until there was no one left who had not come in and eaten his fill. Then he collected it and it was as it had been when they ate from it.''

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ (ح) وحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ ، وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : بَعَثَنِي أَبُو طَلْحَةَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لأَدْعُوَهُ وَقَدْ جَعَلَ طَعَامًا ، قَالَ : فَأَقْبَلْتُ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَعَ النَّاسِ ، فَنَظَرَ إِلَيَّ فَاسْتَحْيَيْتُ ، فَقُلْتُ : أَجِبْ أَبَا طَلْحَةَ ، فَقَالَ لِلنَّاسِ : قُومُوا ، فَقَالَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، إِنَّمَا صَنَعْتُ لَكَ شَيْئًا ، قَالَ : فَمَسَّهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَدَعَا فِيهَا بِالْبَرَكَةِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : أَدْخِلْ نَفَرًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِي عَشَرَةً ، وَقَالَ : كُلُوا ، وَأَخْرَجَ لَهُمْ شَيْئًا مِنْ بَيْنِ أَصَابِعِهِ ، فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا فَخَرَجُوا ، فَقَالَ : أَدْخِلْ عَشَرَةً ، فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا ، فَمَا زَالَ يُدْخِلُ عَشَرَةً وَيُخْرِجُ عَشَرَةً حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ إِلاَّ دَخَلَ ، فَأَكَلَ حَتَّى شَبِعَ ، ثُمَّ هَيَّأَهَا فَإِذَا هِيَ مِثْلُهَا حِينَ أَكَلُوا مِنْهَا.

It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said: "Abu Talhah told Umm Sulaim to make some food for the Prophet (s.a.w), just for him, then he sent me to him... and he quoted the same Hadith (no. 5317), and he said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) put his hand on it and said the Name of Allah over it, then he said: 'Give permission for ten to enter.' He gave them permission and they came in, and he said: 'Eat and mention the Name of Allah,' and they ate, until eighty men had done that. Then the Prophet (s.a.w) and the members of the household ate after that, and there was still some food left over.''

وحَدَّثَنِي عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الرَّقِّيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : أَمَرَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ أَنْ تَصْنَعَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ طَعَامًا لِنَفْسِهِ خَاصَّةً ، ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَيْهِ وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ. وَقَالَ فِيهِ : فَوَضَعَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدَهُ وَسَمَّى عَلَيْهِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : ائْذَنْ لِعَشَرَةٍ ، فَأَذِنَ لَهُمْ فَدَخَلُوا ، فَقَالَ : كُلُوا وَسَمُّوا اللَّهَ ، فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ بِثَمَانِينَ رَجُلاً ، ثُمَّ أَكَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ وَأَهْلُ الْبَيْتِ ، وَتَرَكُوا سُؤْرًا.

This story about the food of Abu Talhah was narrated from Anas bin Malik, from the Prophet (s.a.w), and he said: "Abu Talhah stood at the door until the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) came, and he said to him: 'O Messenger of Allah, it is only a small amount.' He said: 'Bring it, for Allah will bless it."'

وحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ يَحْيَى ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، بِهَذِهِ الْقِصَّةِ فِي طَعَامِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. وَقَالَ فِيهِ: فَقَامَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ عَلَى الْبَابِ حَتَّى أَتَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، إِنَّمَا كَانَ شَيْءٌ يَسِيرٌ ، قَالَ: هَلُمَّهُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ سَيَجْعَلُ فِيهِ الْبَرَكَةَ.

It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said: "Abu Talhah saw the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) lying in the Masjid, turning from his back to his stomach (because of hunger). He went to Umm Sulaim and said: 'I have seen the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) lying in the Masjid, turning from his back to his stomach, and I think that he is hungry..." and he quoted the Hadith (similar to no. 5317), and said: "Then the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w), Abu Talhah, Umm Sulaim and Anas bin Malik ate, and there was some left over, so we gave it to our neighbors."

وحَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْحُلْوَانِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ جَرِيرَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : رَأَى أَبُو طَلْحَةَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُضْطَجِعًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ يَتَقَلَّبُ ظَهْرًا لِبَطْنٍ ، فَأَتَى أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ ، فَقَالَ : إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُضْطَجِعًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ يَتَقَلَّبُ ظَهْرًا لِبَطْنٍ وَأَظُنُّهُ جَائِعًا وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ.وَقَالَ فِيهِ : ثُمَّ أَكَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَبُو طَلْحَةَ ، وَأُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ ، وَأَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ ، وَفَضَلَتْ فَضْلَةٌ فَأَهْدَيْنَاهُ لِجِيرَانِنَا.

Anas bin Malik said: "I came to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and I found him sitting with his Companions and talking to them, and he had bound his stomach with a cloth." - Usamah (a narrator) said: "And I am not sure whether he had tied a stone to it." - "I (Anas) said to some of his (s.a.w) Companions: 'Why has the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) bound his stomach?' They said: 'Because of hunger.' I went to Abu Talhah, who was the husband of Umm Sulaim bint Milhan, and I said: 'O my father, I have seen the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) with his stomach bound with a cloth, and I asked some of his Companions, and they said it is because of hunger.' Abu 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 Allah (s.a.w) 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 Hadith no. 5317).

وحَدَّثَنِي حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى التُّجِيبِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي أُسَامَةُ ، أَنَّ يَعْقُوبَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ الأَنْصَارِيَّ ، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ ، يَقُولُ : جِئْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا فَوَجَدْتُهُ جَالِسًا مَعَ أَصْحَابِهِ يُحَدِّثُهُمْ ، وَقَدْ عَصَّبَ بَطْنَهُ بِعِصَابَةٍ ، قَالَ أُسَامَةُ : وَأَنَا أَشُكُّ عَلَى حَجَرٍ ، فَقُلْتُ لِبَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ لِمَ عَصَّبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَطْنَهُ ؟ فَقَالُوا : مِنَ الْجُوعِ ، فَذَهَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي طَلْحَةَ وَهُوَ زَوْجُ أُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ بِنْتِ مِلْحَانَ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا أَبَتَاهُ ، قَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ عَصَّبَ بَطْنَهُ بِعِصَابَةٍ ، فَسَأَلْتُ بَعْضَ أَصْحَابِهِ ، فَقَالُوا : مِنَ الْجُوعِ ، فَدَخَلَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ عَلَى أُمِّي ، فَقَالَ : هَلْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ ؟ فَقَالَتْ : نَعَمْ ، عِنْدِي كِسَرٌ مِنْ خُبْزٍ وَتَمَرَاتٌ ، فَإِنْ جَاءَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَحْدَهُ أَشْبَعْنَاهُ ، وَإِنْ جَاءَ آخَرُ مَعَهُ قَلَّ عَنْهُمْ ... ، ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ سَائِرَ الْحَدِيثِ بِقِصَّتِهِ.

Anas bin Malik said: "A tailor invited the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) to a meal that he had made." Anas bin Malik said: "I went with the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) to that meal, and he offered to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) some barley bread and some soup containing squash and strips of meat." Anas said: "I saw the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) looking for the squash on all sides of the dish." He said: "I have not stopped liking squash since that day."

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ ، فِيمَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِ ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ ، يَقُولُ: إِنَّ خَيَّاطًا دَعَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِطَعَامٍ صَنَعَهُ ، قَالَ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ : فَذَهَبْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى ذَلِكَ الطَّعَامِ ، فَقَرَّبَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خُبْزًا مِنْ شَعِيرٍ وَمَرَقًا فِيهِ دُبَّاءٌ وَقَدِيدٌ ، قَالَ أَنَسٌ : فَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَتَتَبَّعُ الدُّبَّاءَ مِنْ حَوَالَيِ الصَّحْفَةِ. قَالَ: فَلَمْ أَزَلْ أُحِبُّ الدُّبَّاءَ مُنْذُ يَوْمَئِذٍ.

It was narrated from Thabit that Anas said: "A man invited the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w), and I went with him. He brought some soup containing squash, and the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) started to eat that squash and he liked it. When I saw that, I started to pass it to him and not eat it myself." And Anas said: "Since that time I have not stopped liking squash."

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : دَعَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلٌ ، فَانْطَلَقْتُ مَعَهُ فَجِيءَ بِمَرَقَةٍ فِيهَا دُبَّاءٌ ، فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَأْكُلُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الدُّبَّاءِ وَيُعْجِبُهُ ، قَالَ : فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُ ذَلِكَ جَعَلْتُ أُلْقِيهِ إِلَيْهِ وَلاَ أَطْعَمُهُ. قَالَ : فَقَالَ أَنَسٌ : فَمَا زِلْتُ بَعْدُ يُعْجِبُنِي الدُّبَّاءُ.

It was narrated from Anas bin Malik that a man who was a tailor invited the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w). And he (the narrator) added: "Thabit said: 'I heard Anas say: "No food was made for me after that in which squash could be added, but it was added."

وحَدَّثَنِي حَجَّاجُ بْنُ الشَّاعِرِ ، وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ ، جَمِيعًا عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ ، وَعَاصِمٍ الأَحْوَلِ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً خَيَّاطًا دَعَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. وَزَادَ، قَالَ ثَابِتٌ: فَسَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا ، يَقُولُ: فَمَا صُنِعَ لِي طَعَامٌ بَعْدُ أَقْدِرُ عَلَى أَنْ يُصْنَعَ فِيهِ دُبَّاءٌ إِلاَّ صُنِعَ.

It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin Busr said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) came to my father and we offered him some food and some Watbah. Then some dates were brought and he started eating them, putting the stones between his fingers and holding his forefinger and middle finger together" - Shu'bah said: "I think we learn from this that one may hold the date stones between two fingers, In sha Allah" - "Then some drink was brought and he drank it, then he passed it to the one who was on his right. My father said, taking hold of the reins of his riding-animal: 'Pray to Allah for us.' He said: 'Allahumma Barik lahum fi ma razaqtuhum, faghfirlahum farhamhum (O Allah, bless them in that which You have provided for them, and forgive them and have mercy on them.)"'

حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى الْعَنَزِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ خُمَيْرٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بُسْرٍ ، قَالَ : نَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى أَبِي ، قَالَ : فَقَرَّبْنَا إِلَيْهِ طَعَامًا وَوَطْبَةً ، فَأَكَلَ مِنْهَا ، ثُمَّ أُتِيَ بِتَمْرٍ فَكَانَ يَأْكُلُهُ وَيُلْقِي النَّوَى بَيْنَ إِصْبَعَيْهِ ، وَيَجْمَعُ السَّبَّابَةَ وَالْوُسْطَى ، قَالَ شُعْبَةُ : هُوَ ظَنِّي وَهُوَ فِيهِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ إِلْقَاءُ النَّوَى بَيْنَ الإِصْبَعَيْنِ ، ثُمَّ أُتِيَ بِشَرَابٍ فَشَرِبَهُ ، ثُمَّ نَاوَلَهُ الَّذِي عَنْ يَمِينِهِ ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ أَبِي : وَأَخَذَ بِلِجَامِ دَابَّتِهِ ، ادْعُ اللَّهَ لَنَا ، فَقَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ ، بَارِكْ لَهُمْ فِي مَا رَزَقْتَهُمْ ، وَاغْفِرْ لَهُمْ وَارْحَمْهُمْ.
