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.  

البخاري:٥٤٥٠حَدَّثَنَا الصَّلْتُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنِ الْجَعْدِ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ وَعَنْ هِشَامٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ وَعَنْ سِنَانٍ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ

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
