[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was brought a bowl containing dates and he distributed it until noon. Some people were standing and others were sitting. A man said to him, "Was it increasing?" He replied, "What is there to wonder about? It was not increasing except from here," and he pointed towards the sky.  

أحمد:٢٠١٩٦حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ التَّيْمِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أُتِيَ بِقَصْعَةٍ فِيهَا ثَرِيدٌ فَتَعَاقَبُوهَا إِلَى الظُّهْرِ مِنْ غُدْوَةٍ يَقُومُ نَاسٌ وَيَقْعُدُ آخَرُونَ قَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ هَلْ كَانَتْ تُمَدُّ؟ قَالَ فَمِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ تَعْجَبُ؟ مَاكَانَتْ تُمَدُّ إِلَّا مِنْ هَاهُنَا وَأَشَارَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ
