ذِكْرُ الِاسْتِحْبَابِ لِلْمَرْءِ تَقْدِيمَ مَا حَضَرَ لِلْأَضْيَافِ وَإِنْ لَمْ يُشْبِعْهُمْ فِي الظَّاهِرِ
[Machine] That Abu Talhah saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ pale, so he went to Umm Sulaym and said, "Do you have anything?" She said, "We only have some dough made from barley flour." He said, "Knead it and make it into bread, perhaps the Prophet ﷺ may come and eat with us." So she kneaded it and baked it, and out came a loaf. He said, "Invite the Prophet ﷺ for me." I came to the Prophet ﷺ and with him were some people. Mubarak bin Fadalah, who, I think, numbered about eighty-eight, said: "I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, Abu Talhah is inviting you.' He said to his companions, 'Go and answer Abu Talhah's invitation.' So I hurried until I told him that he had come, and his companions (also). Bakr said: 'He then followed me closely (perspiring so hard that) he was drenched.' Thabit said: 'Abu Talhah told the Messenger of Allah ﷺ : "You know what I have in my house better than I do, and Anas said that they both said: 'Then he greeted him and Abu Talhah said: 'O Messenger of Allah we have nothing but a loaf of bread, and I saw you (pale) so I ordered Umm Sulaym to make that a loaf of bread.' He said: 'One bearing of a piece of fat or something?' Abu Talhah said: 'There is something in a container.' So he brought it and the Prophet ﷺ and Abu Talhah squeezed it until something came out. Then the Prophet ﷺ wiped with some of it with his index finger, then he wiped the loaf with it and it inflated and he said: "Bismillah (in the name of Allah). And he continued to do that and the loaf would inflate until I saw the loaf expanding in the container. The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Invite ten of my Companions also.' So I invited ten of them and he put his hand in the middle of the loaf and said: 'Eat in the name of Allah.' So they ate from around the loaf until they were full. Then he said: 'Invite ten more.' He kept inviting ten more until about eighty or ninety ate from that loaf until they were full. Then in the middle where the Messenger of Allah ﷺ put his hand, it remained as it was."
