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.

أَنَّ أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ أُمَّهُ عَمَدَتْ إِلَى مُدٍّ مِنْ شَعِيرٍ جَشَّتْهُ وَجَعَلَتْ مِنْهُ خَطِيفَةً وَعَصَرَتْ عُكَّةً عِنْدَهَا ثُمَّ بَعَثَتْنِي إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَتَيْتُهُ وَهْوَ فِي أَصْحَابِهِ فَدَعَوْتُهُ قَالَ وَمَنْ مَعِي فَجِئْتُ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّهُ يَقُولُ وَمَنْ مَعِي فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّمَا هُوَ شَىْءٌ صَنَعَتْهُ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ فَدَخَلَ فَجِيءَ بِهِ وَقَالَ أَدْخِلْ عَلَىَّ عَشَرَةً فَدَخَلُوا فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا ثُمَّ قَالَ أَدْخِلْ عَلَىَّ عَشَرَةً فَدَخَلُوا فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا ثُمَّ قَالَ أَدْخِلْ عَلَىَّ عَشَرَةً حَتَّى عَدَّ أَرْبَعِينَ ثُمَّ أَكَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَجَعَلْتُ أَنْظُرُ هَلْ نَقَصَ مِنْهَا شَىْءٌ

[Machine] That his mother, Umm Sulaim, brought some barley from Madinah and ground it. Then she made a dough from it and squeezed it with some clarified butter that she had. Then she sent me to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so I came to him while he was with his companions. I called him and he said: "Who is with me?" So I went to my mother and said: "He is asking who is with me?" Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came with his companions and Abu Talhah went to him and said: "O Messenger of Allah, this is something that Umm Sulaim made for you." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ smiled and he entered (the house) and he brought it, and he said: "Invite ten people to eat." So they entered and they ate until they were full. Then he said: "Invite ten more." So he counted until they reached forty. Then the Prophet ﷺ ate and then he got up. I started to look whether anything had been taken from it.

أَنَّ أُمَّهُ أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ عَمَدَتْ إِلَى مُدَّيْنِ مِنْ شَعِيرٍ فَهَشَّتْهُ فَجَعَلَتْ مِنْهُ خَطِيفَةً وَعَصَرَتْ عُكَّةً كَانَتْ عِنْدَهَا ثُمَّ بَعَثْتَنِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَتَيْتُهُ وَهُوَ فِي أَصْحَابِهِ فَدَعَوْتُهُ فَقَالَ وَمَنْ مَعِيَ؟ فَجِئْتُ أُمِّي فَقُلْتُ إِنَّهُ يَقُولُ وَمَنْ مَعِيَ؟ فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي أَصْحَابِهِ فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّمَا هُوَ شَيْءٌ صَنَعَتْهُ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ لَكَ فَتَبَسَّمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَدَخَلَ فَجِيءَ بِهِ فَقَالَ «أَدْخِلْ عَلَيَّ عَشَرَةً» فَدَخَلُوا فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَدْخِلْ عَشَرَةً» حَتَّى عَدَّ أَرْبَعِينَ ثُمَّ أَكَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَجَعَلْتُ أَنْظُرُ هَلْ نَقَصَ مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ

[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."

صَنَعَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ خَطِيفَةً مِنْ شَعِيرٍ كَانَ عِنْدَهَا حُسْتُهُ قَالَ فَأَرْسَلَتْنِي إِلَيْهِ أَدْعُوهُ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ صَنَعَتْ لَكَ خَطِيفَةً مِنْ شَعِيرٍ قَالَ أَنَا وَمَنْ مَعِيَ؟ قَالَ فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَيْهَا فَأَخْبَرْتُهَا فَجَاءَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّمَا هُوَ مُدٌّ وَأَقَلُّ مِنْ مُدٍّ جَعَلَتْ لَكَ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ قَالَ أَنَا وَمَنْ مَعِيَ؟ فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَمَنْ مَعَهُ فَدَخَلَ الْمَنْزِلَ فَقَالَ لِي «يَا أَنَسُ أَدْخِلْ عَلَيَّ عَشَرَةً» فَدَخَلَ عَشَرَةٌ فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَدْخِلْ عَشَرَةً» فَدَخَلَ عَشَرَةٌ فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَدْخِلْ عَشَرَةً عَلَيَّ» قُلْتُ لِأَنَسٍ كَمْ كَانُوا قَالَ ثَلَاثِينَ أَوْ أَرْبَعِينَ فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا ثُمَّ أَكَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَأَكَلْنَا حَتَّى شَبِعْنَا قَالَ فَكَأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَنْقُصْ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ وَفِي حَدِيثِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ شَيْءٌ مِنْ شَعِيرٍ جَعَلَتْهُ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ وَعَصَرَتْ عَلَيْهِ عُكَّةً كَانَ فِيهَا سَمْنٌ
