[Machine] Um Sulaim cooked half a measure of barley, ground it, and then went to a container that contained some ghee. She took some of it and sent me to the Prophet ﷺ. So I went to him while he was with his companions and said, "Um Sulaim has sent me to you, inviting you." He asked, "Who else is with her?" I replied, "Just her and those with her." He came with me along with those who were with him. I entered and said to Abu Talhah, "The Prophet ﷺ has come along with those who are with him." Abu Talhah then left and went to the side of the Prophet ﷺ. He said, "O Messenger of Allah, she has made a dish from half a measure of barley." He entered and it was brought to him. He put his hand in it and said, "Let ten enter." So ten entered and they ate until they were satiated. Then another ten entered and they ate, then another ten entered and they ate, and then another ten entered and they ate, until all forty of them ate until they were satiated. He said, "And what remained was as it was." And we ate it.

My mother, Um Sulaim, took a Mudd of barley grain, ground it and made porridge from it, and pressed (over it), a butter skin she had with her. Then she sent me to the Prophet, and I reached him while he was sitting with his companions. I invited him, whereupon he said, "And those who are with me?' I returned and said, "He says, 'And those who are with me?" Abu Talha went out to him and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! It is just a meal prepared by Um Sulaim." The Prophet ﷺ entered and the food was brought to him. He said, "Let ten persons enter upon me." Those ten entered and ate their fill. Again he said, 'Let ten (more) enter upon me." Those ten entered and ate their fill. Then he said, "Let ten (more) enter upon me." He called forty persons in all Then Messenger of Allah ﷺ ate and got up. I started looking (at the food) to see if it decreased or not.

[Machine] Umm Sulaim made a soft bread from barley, as she had some flour. He (the Prophet) said: "So she sent me to him and called him. So I went to him and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, Umm Sulaim has made a soft bread for you from barley.' He said: 'And who is with me?' He said: 'So I returned to her and informed her. Abu Talhah came and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, it is only a small amount, and less than a small amount, that Umm Sulaim has made for you.' He said: 'And who is with me?' So the Prophet ﷺ and whoever was with him stood up and entered the house. He said to me: 'O Anas, bring in ten.' So ten people entered, and they ate until they were full. Then he said: 'Bring in ten.' So ten more entered, and they ate until they were full. Then he said: 'Bring in ten to me.' I said to Anas: 'How many were there?' He said: 'Thirty or forty.' So they ate until they were full. Then the Prophet ﷺ ate, and we ate until we were full. He said: 'It was as if it did not decrease at all.' And in another Hadith of Abu Talhah, there was some barley that Umm Sulaim made for him, and she squeezed some ghee on it."
