[Machine] A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "I can provide you with food." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ fed him and gave him barley to drink. The man and his wife and their companion kept eating from it until they were filled. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If you had not been satisfied, I would have eaten from it and it would have sufficed for you."

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَسْتَطْعِمُهُ فَأَطْعَمَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَسْقَ شَعِيرٍ فَمَا زَالَ الرَّجُلُ يَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ هُوَ وَامْرَأَتُهُ وَوَصِيفٌ لَهُمْ حَتَّى كَالُوهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَوْ لَمْ تَكِيلُوهُ لَأَكَلْتُمْ مِنْهُ وَلَقَامَ لَكُمْ
