“Umm Sulaim sent with me a basket of fresh dates for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, but I did not find him, as he had just gone out to a freed slave of his who had invited him and made food for him. I came to him and he was eating, and he called me to eat with him. He (the freed slave) had served him Tharid with meat and gourd, and he liked the gourd, so I started to collect the (pieces of) gourd and put them near him. When he had eaten he went back to him house and I put the basket (of dates) before him, and he started to eat them and share them, until he finished the last of them.”  

بَعَثَتْ مَعِي أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ بِمِكْتَلٍ فِيهِ رُطَبٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمْ أَجِدْهُ وَخَرَجَ قَرِيبًا إِلَى مَوْلًى لَهُ دَعَاهُ فَصَنَعَ لَهُ طَعَامًا فَأَتَيْتُهُ وَهُوَ يَأْكُلُ قَالَ فَدَعَانِي لآكُلَ مَعَهُ قَالَ وَصَنَعَ ثَرِيدَةً بِلَحْمٍ وَقَرْعٍ قَالَ فَإِذَا هُوَ يُعْجِبُهُ الْقَرْعُ قَالَ فَجَعَلْتُ أَجْمَعُهُ فَأُدْنِيهِ مِنْهُ فَلَمَّا طَعِمْنَا مِنْهُ رَجَعَ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ وَوَضَعْتُ الْمِكْتَلَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَجَعَلَ يَأْكُلُ وَيَقْسِمُ حَتَّى فَرَغَ مِنْ آخِرِهِ  

[Machine] Umm Sulaim sent me with a container in which there were dates, and I did not find the Prophet ﷺ in his house. Instead, he was with a freed slave of his, who had prepared a pot of meat and barley for him. He invited me and made me sit with him. I noticed that he was interested in the barley, so I moved it closer to him. When he finished his meal and returned to his house, I placed the container in front of him and he ate from it and distributed it until he reached its bottom.  

بَعَثَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ مَعِي بِمِكْتَلٍ فِيهِ رُطَبٌ فَلَمْ أَجِدِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فِي بَيْتِهِ إِذَا هُوَ عِنْدَ مَوْلًى لَهُ قَدْ صَنَعَ لَهُ ثَرِيدًا أَوْ قَالَ ثَرِيدَةً بِلَحْمٍ وَقَرْعٍ فَدَعَانِي فَأَقْعَدَنِي مَعَهُ فَرَأَيْتُهُ يُعْجِبُهُ الْقَرْعُ فَجَعَلْتُ أَدَعُهُ قِبَلَهُ فَلَمَّا تَغَدَّى وَرَجَعَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ وَضَعْتُ الْمِكْتَلَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَجَعَلَ يَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ وَيَقْسِمُ حَتَّى أَتَى عَلَى آخِرِهِ
