I heard Allah'. s Messenger ﷺ as saying: Food for one person suffices two persons and food for two persons suffices four persons, and food for four persons suffices eight persons; and in the tradition transmitted on the authority of Ishaq there is no mention of the fact that he heard it directly (from the Holy Prophet).
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ طَعَامُ الْوَاحِدِ يَكْفِي الاِثْنَيْنِ وَطَعَامُ الاِثْنَيْنِ يَكْفِي الأَرْبَعَةَ وَطَعَامُ الأَرْبَعَةِ يَكْفِي الثَّمَانِيَةَ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَمْ يَذْكُرْ سَمِعْتُ
Food for one suffices two and food for two suffices for four.

Food for one (person) suffices two, and food for two (persons) suffices four persons and food for four persons suffices eight persons.
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ طَعَامُ الرَّجُلِ يَكْفِي رَجُلَيْنِ وَطَعَامُ رَجُلَيْنِ يَكْفِي أَرْبَعَةً وَطَعَامُ أَرْبَعَةٍ يَكْفِي ثَمَانِيَةً
“The food of one is sufficient for two, and the food of two is sufficient for three or four, and the food of four is sufficient for five or six.’”
