“Umm Sulaim made some bread for the Prophet ﷺ, and she put a little ghee on it. Then she said: ‘Go to the Prophet ﷺ and invite him (to come and eat).’ So I went and told him: ‘My mother is inviting you (to come and eat).’ So he stood up, and said to the people who were with him: ‘Get up.’ I went ahead of him and told her. Then the Prophet ﷺ came and said: ‘Bring what you have made.’ She said: ‘I only made it for you alone.’ He said: ‘Bring it.’ Then he said: ‘O Anas, bring (them) in to me ten by ten.’ So I kept bringing them in ten by ten, and they ate their fill, and there were eighty of them.”  

ابن ماجة:٣٣٤٢حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ الطَّوِيلُ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ

صَنَعَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ خُبْزَةً وَضَعَتْ فِيهَا شَيْئًا مِنْ سَمْنٍ ثُمَّ قَالَتِ اذْهَبْ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَادْعُهُ قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ أُمِّي تَدْعُوكَ قَالَ فَقَامَ وَقَالَ لِمَنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ مِنَ النَّاسِ قُومُوا قَالَ فَسَبَقْتُهُمْ إِلَيْهَا فَأَخْبَرْتُهَا فَجَاءَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ هَاتِي مَا صَنَعْتِ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّمَا صَنَعْتُهُ لَكَ وَحْدَكَ فَقَالَ هَاتِيهِ فَقَالَ يَا أَنَسُ أَدْخِلْ عَلَىَّ عَشْرَةً عَشْرَةً قَالَ فَمَا زِلْتُ أُدْخِلُ عَلَيْهِ عَشْرَةً عَشْرَةً فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا وَكَانُوا ثَمَانِينَ
