Abu Sa'id Khudri reported that Messenger of Allah ﷺ warned against drinking while standing.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ زَجَرَ عَنِ الشُّرْبِ قَائِمًا  

Abu Sa'id Khudri reported this hadith through another chain of transmitters but with a slight, variation of wording.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَهَى عَنِ الشُّرْبِ قَائِمًا  

None of you should drink while standing; and if anyone forgets, he must vomit.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ يَشْرَبَنَّ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ قَائِمًا فَمَنْ نَسِيَ فَلْيَسْتَقِئْ  

I served. (water of) Zamzam to Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he drank it while standing.  

سَقَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ زَمْزَمَ فَشَرِبَ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ  

Ibn 'Abbas reported that Messenger of Allah ﷺ drank (water) from Zamzam in a bucket while he was standing.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ شَرِبَ مِنْ زَمْزَمَ مِنْ دَلْوٍ مِنْهَا وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ  

Ibn 'Abbas reported that Allah's Apostle ﷺ drank (water) from Zamzam while he was standing.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ شَرِبَ مِنْ زَمْزَمَ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ  

I served (water from) Zamzam to Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he drank while standing, and he asked for it while he was near the House (i. e. House of Allah-Ka'ba).  

سَقَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ زَمْزَمَ فَشَرِبَ قَائِمًا وَاسْتَسْقَى وَهُوَ عِنْدَ الْبَيْتِ  

This hadith is reported on the authority of Shu'ba with the same chain of transmitters but with a slight variation of wording.  

عَنْ شُعْبَةَ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ وَفِي حَدِيثِهِمَا فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِدَلْوٍ  

Abu Qatada reported on the authority of his father that Allah's Apostle ﷺ forbade breathing in a vessel.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَهَى أَنْ يُتَنَفَّسَ فِي الإِنَاءِ  

Anas reported that Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to breathe three times in the course of a drink (i. e. he drank in three gulps).  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَتَنَفَّسُ فِي الإِنَاءِ ثَلاَثًا  

It is more thirst- quenching, healthier and more wholesome. Anas said: So I also breathe three times in the course of a drink.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَتَنَفَّسُ فِي الشَّرَابِ ثَلاَثًا وَيَقُولُ إِنَّهُ أَرْوَى وَأَبْرَأُ وَأَمْرَأُ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَأَنَا أَتَنَفَّسُ فِي الشَّرَابِ ثَلاَثًا  

This hadith is reported on the authority of Anas with a slight variation of wording.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِمِثْلِهِ وَقَالَ فِي الإِنَاءِ  

(Give to one) who is on the right, then again who is on the right.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أُتِيَ بِلَبَنٍ قَدْ شِيبَ بِمَاءٍ وَعَنْ يَمِينِهِ أَعْرَابِيٌّ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَشَرِبَ ثُمَّ أَعْطَى الأَعْرَابِيَّ وَقَالَ الأَيْمَنَ فَالأَيْمَنَ  

The Apostle of Allah (may peace he upon him) came to Medina when I was ten years old and he died when I was twenty years old. My mother exhorted me to serve him. He (the Holy Prophet) came to our house, and we ruined a flabby goat for him and mixed it (the milk) with water from the well of the house. Messenger of Allah ﷺ drank that. Umar and Abu Bakr on his left side said to him: Messenger of Allah, give it to Abu Bakr, but he (the Holy Prophet) gave it to the desert Arab who was on his right. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: He who is on the right, then he who is on the right.  

قَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الْمَدِينَةَ وَأَنَا ابْنُ عَشْرٍ وَمَاتَ وَأَنَا ابْنُ عِشْرِينَ وَكُنَّ أُمَّهَاتِي يَحْثُثْنَنِي عَلَى خِدْمَتِهِ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا دَارَنَا فَحَلَبْنَا لَهُ مِنْ شَاةٍ دَاجِنٍ وَشِيبَ لَهُ مِنْ بِئْرٍ فِي الدَّارِ فَشَرِبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَعْطِ أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَأَعْطَاهُ أَعْرَابِيًّا عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الأَيْمَنَ فَالأَيْمَنَ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to our house and he asked for a drink. We milked a goat for him and then mixed it (the milk) with the water of this well of mine. I gave it to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he drank it, while Abu Bakr was on his left and 'Umar was in front of him, and a desert Arab was on his right. When Messenger of Allah ﷺ had finished the drink, Umar said: Messenger of Allah, here is Abu Bakr, give him to drink; but Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave it to the desert Arab and he left out Abu Bakr and Umar. And Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Those on the right, those on the right, those on the right (deserve preference). Anas said: This is the Sunnah, this is the Sunnah, this is the Sunnah.  

أَتَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي دَارِنَا فَاسْتَسْقَى فَحَلَبْنَا لَهُ شَاةً ثُمَّ شُبْتُهُ مِنْ مَاءِ بِئْرِي هَذِهِ قَالَ فَأَعْطَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَشَرِبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ وَعُمَرُ وُجَاهَهُ وَأَعْرَابِيٌّ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ شُرْبِهِ قَالَ عُمَرُ هَذَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يُرِيهِ إِيَّاهُ فَأَعْطَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الأَعْرَابِيَّ وَتَرَكَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الأَيْمَنُونَ الأَيْمَنُونَ الأَيْمَنُونَ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَهِيَ سُنَّةٌ فَهِيَ سُنَّةٌ فَهِيَ سُنَّةٌ  

Do you permit me to give it to them (the old men), but that boy said: by God. I will not give preference at your hand over me in my share. He (the narrator) said that Messenger of Allah ﷺ then gave it in his hand.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أُتِيَ بِشَرَابٍ فَشَرِبَ مِنْهُ وَعَنْ يَمِينِهِ غُلاَمٌ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ أَشْيَاخٌ فَقَالَ لِلْغُلاَمِ أَتَأْذَنُ لِي أَنْ أُعْطِيَ هَؤُلاَءِ فَقَالَ الْغُلاَمُ لاَ وَاللَّهِ لاَ أُوثِرُ بِنَصِيبِي مِنْكَ أَحَدًا قَالَ فَتَلَّهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي يَدِهِ  

This hadith is reported on the authority of Sahl b. Sa'd with a slight variation of wording.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِمِثْلِهِ وَلَمْ يَقُولاَ فَتَلَّهُ وَلَكِنْ فِي رِوَايَةِ يَعْقُوبَ قَالَ فَأَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ  

When any one of you eats food he should not wipe his hand until he has licked it or has it licked*.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَكَلَ أَحَدُكُمْ طَعَامًا فَلاَ يَمْسَحْ يَدَهُ حَتَّى يَلْعَقَهَا أَوْ يُلْعِقَهَا  

When any one of you eats food he should not wipe his hand until he has licked it or have it licked.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَكَلَ أَحَدُكُمْ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ فَلاَ يَمْسَحْ يَدَهُ حَتَّى يَلْعَقَهَا أَوْ يُلْعِقَهَا  

Ibn Ka'b b. Malik reported on the authority of his father that he saw Messenger of Allah ﷺ licking his three fingers (after having finished the food). Ibn Hatim made no mention of" three". This hadith is also narrated through another chain of transmitters.  

رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَلْعَقُ أَصَابِعَهُ الثَّلاَثَ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرِ ابْنُ حَاتِمٍ الثَّلاَثَ وَقَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ فِي رِوَايَتِهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ  

Ibn Ka'b b. Malik reported on the authority of his father that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to eat (food) with three fingers and he licked his hand before wiping it (with towel).  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَأْكُلُ بِثَلاَثِ أَصَابِعَ وَيَلْعَقُ يَدَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَمْسَحَهَا  

'Abdullah b. Ka'b reported that his father Ka'b narrated to him that Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to eat with three fingers and when he had finished (eating), he licked them.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَأْكُلُ بِثَلاَثِ أَصَابِعَ فَإِذَا فَرَغَ لَعِقَهَا  

A hadith like this has been reported on the authority of Ka'b b. Malik through another chain of transmitters.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِمِثْلِهِ  

You do not know in what portion the blessing lies."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَمَرَ بِلَعْقِ الأَصَابِعِ وَالصَّحْفَةِ وَقَالَ إِنَّكُمْ لاَ تَدْرُونَ فِي أَيِّهِ الْبَرَكَةُ  

When any one of you drops a mouthful he should pick it up and remove any of the filth on it, and then eat it, and should not leave it for the Satan, and should not wipe his hand with towel until he has licked his fingers, for he does not know in what portion of the food the blessing lies.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا وَقَعَتْ لُقْمَةُ أَحَدِكُمْ فَلْيَأْخُذْهَا فَلْيُمِطْ مَا كَانَ بِهَا مِنْ أَذًى وَلْيَأْكُلْهَا وَلاَ يَدَعْهَا لِلشَّيْطَانِ وَلاَ يَمْسَحْ يَدَهُ بِالْمِنْدِيلِ حَتَّى يَلْعَقَ أَصَابِعَهُ فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَدْرِي فِي أَىِّ طَعَامِهِ الْبَرَكَةُ  

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Sufyan with the same chain of transmitters but with a slight variation of wording.  

عَنْ سُفْيَانَ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ مِثْلَهُ وَفِي حَدِيثِهِمَا وَلاَ يَمْسَحْ يَدَهُ بِالْمِنْدِيلِ حَتَّى يَلْعَقَهَا أَوْ يُلْعِقَهَا وَمَا بَعْدَهُ  

I heard Allah's Apostle ﷺ as saying: The Satan is present with any one of you in everything he does; he is present even when he eats food; so if any one of you drops a mouthful he should remove away anything filthy on it and eat it and not leave for the devil; and when he finishes (food) he should lick his fingers, for he does not know in what portion of his food the blessing lies.  

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَحْضُرُ أَحَدَكُمْ عِنْدَ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ مِنْ شَأْنِهِ حَتَّى يَحْضُرَهُ عِنْدَ طَعَامِهِ فَإِذَا سَقَطَتْ مِنْ أَحَدِكُمُ اللُّقْمَةُ فَلْيُمِطْ مَا كَانَ بِهَا مِنْ أَذًى ثُمَّ لْيَأْكُلْهَا وَلاَ يَدَعْهَا لِلشَّيْطَانِ فَإِذَا فَرَغَ فَلْيَلْعَقْ أَصَابِعَهُ فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَدْرِي فِي أَىِّ طَعَامِهِ تَكُونُ الْبَرَكَةُ  

This hadith is reported on the authority of A'mash with the same chain of transmitters but with a slight variation of words but no mention is made of the first part of the hadith, i. e. the Satan is present with any one of you.  

عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ إِذَا سَقَطَتْ لُقْمَةُ أَحَدِكُمْ إِلَى آخِرِ الْحَدِيثِ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ أَوَّلَ الْحَدِيثِ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَحْضُرُ أَحَدَكُمْ  

Jabir reported from Messenger of Allah. ﷺ about mentioning the licking (of fingers) and the (falling of) the mouthful.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي ذِكْرِ اللَّعْقِ وَعَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَذَكَرَ اللُّقْمَةَ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِهِمَا  

When any one of you drops a mouthful he should remove anything filthy from it and then eat it, and should not leave it for the Satan. He also commanded us that we should wipe the dish saying: You do not know in what portion of your food the blessing lies.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا أَكَلَ طَعَامًا لَعِقَ أَصَابِعَهُ الثَّلاَثَ قَالَ وَقَالَ إِذَا سَقَطَتْ لُقْمَةُ أَحَدِكُمْ فَلْيُمِطْ عَنْهَا الأَذَى وَلْيَأْكُلْهَا وَلاَ يَدَعْهَا لِلشَّيْطَانِ وَأَمَرَنَا أَنْ نَسْلُتَ الْقَصْعَةَ قَالَ فَإِنَّكُمْ لاَ تَدْرُونَ فِي أَىِّ طَعَامِكُمُ الْبَرَكَةُ  

When any one of you eats food he should lick his fingers, for he does not know in what part of the food sticking to his fingers the blessing lies.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا أَكَلَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَلْعَقْ أَصَابِعَهُ فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَدْرِي فِي أَيَّتِهِنَّ الْبَرَكَةُ  

This hadith has been reported on the authority of Hammad with the same chain of transmitters, but with a slight variation of wording.  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ وَلْيَسْلُتْ أَحْدُكُمُ الصَّحْفَةَ وَقَالَ فِي أَىِّ طَعَامِكُمُ الْبَرَكَةُ أَوْ يُبَارَكُ لَكُمْ  

0 ye, prepare for us food sufficient for five persons, for I intend to invite Allah's Apostle ﷺ who would be the fifth amongst the five. He (the narrator) reported that he then prepared the food and came to Allah's Apostle ﷺ and invited all the five (including him) who was the fifth amongst them to the feast. A man followed him and when Allah's Apostle ﷺ reached the door, he said: This man has followed us; if you like you may permit him (to join the meal) and if you like he can go back. Thereupon the person said: Messenger of Allah, I permit him.  

يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو شُعَيْبٍ وَكَانَ لَهُ غُلاَمٌ لَحَّامٌ فَرَأَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَعَرَفَ فِي وَجْهِهِ الْجُوعَ فَقَالَ لِغُلاَمِهِ وَيْحَكَ اصْنَعْ لَنَا طَعَامًا لِخَمْسَةِ نَفَرٍ فَإِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَدْعُوَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ خَامِسَ خَمْسَةٍ قَالَ فَصَنَعَ ثُمَّ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَدَعَاهُ خَامِسَ خَمْسَةٍ وَاتَّبَعَهُمْ رَجُلٌ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ الْبَابَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنَّ هَذَا اتَّبَعَنَا فَإِنْ شِئْتَ أَنْ تَأْذَنَ لَهُ وَإِنْ شِئْتَ رَجَعَ قَالَ لاَ بَلْ آذَنُ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ  

This hadith has been reported on the authority of Abu Mas'ud Ansari through another chain of transmitters.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِنَحْوِ حَدِيثِ جَرِيرٍ قَالَ نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ فِي رِوَايَتِهِ لِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ حَدَّثَنَا شَقِيقُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ الأَنْصَارِيُّ وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ  

This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Jabir also.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَعَنِ الأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ had a Persian neighbour who made excellent soup. He prepared some for Messenger of Allah ﷺ and then came to him to invite him to eat. He (Messenger of Allah) said, "and her too," referring to ʿAisha. The man said "No," so Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said "No." He returned later to invite him again, so Messenger of Allah ﷺ said "and her too." The man said "No," so Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said "No." He returned another time to invite him and Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "and her too." The man said yes on this third occasion, and they then stood eagerly to go out together to the man's home.  

أَنَّ جَارًا لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَارِسِيًّا كَانَ طَيِّبَ الْمَرَقِ فَصَنَعَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ جَاءَ يَدْعُوهُ فَقَالَ وَهَذِهِ لِعَائِشَةَ فَقَالَ لاَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ فَعَادَ يَدْعُوهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهَذِهِ قَالَ لاَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ ثُمَّ عَادَ يَدْعُوهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهَذِهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ فَقَامَا يَتَدَافَعَانِ حَتَّى أَتَيَا مَنْزِلَهُ  

What has brought you out of your houses at this hour? They said: Messenger of Allah, it is hunger. Thereupon he said: By Him in Whose Hand is my life, what has brought you out has brought me out too; get up. They got up along with him. and (all of them) came to the house of an Ansari, but he was not at home. When his wife saw him she said: Most welcome, and Messenger of Allah (may peace be Upon him) said to her: Where is so and so? She said: He has gone to get some fresh water for us. When the Ansari came and he saw Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his two Companions, he said: Praise be to Allah, no one has more honourable guests today than I (have). He then went out and brought them a bunch of ripe dates, dry dates and fresh dates, and said: Eat some of them. He then took hold of his long knife (for slaughtering a goat or a sheep). Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: Beware of killing a milch animal. He slaughtered a sheep for them and after they had eaten of it and of the bunch and drank, and when they had taken their fill and had been fully satisfied with the drink, Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Abu Bakr and Umar: By Him in Whose Hand is my life, you will certainly be questioned about this bounty on the Day of judgment. Hunger brought you out of your house, then you did not return until this bounty came to you.  

خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ أَوْ لَيْلَةٍ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِأَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ فَقَالَ مَا أَخْرَجَكُمَا مِنْ بُيُوتِكُمَا هَذِهِ السَّاعَةَ قَالاَ الْجُوعُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ وَأَنَا وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لأَخْرَجَنِي الَّذِي أَخْرَجَكُمَا قُومُوا فَقَامُوا مَعَهُ فَأَتَى رَجُلاً مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ فَإِذَا هُوَ لَيْسَ فِي بَيْتِهِ فَلَمَّا رَأَتْهُ الْمَرْأَةُ قَالَتْ مَرْحَبًا وَأَهْلاً فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَيْنَ فُلاَنٌ قَالَتْ ذَهَبَ يَسْتَعْذِبُ لَنَا مِنَ الْمَاءِ إِذْ جَاءَ الأَنْصَارِيُّ فَنَظَرَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَصَاحِبَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ مَا أَحَدٌ الْيَوْمَ أَكْرَمَ أَضْيَافًا مِنِّي قَالَ فَانْطَلَقَ فَجَاءَهُمْ بِعِذْقٍ فِيهِ بُسْرٌ وَتَمْرٌ وَرُطَبٌ فَقَالَ كُلُوا مِنْ هَذِهِ وَأَخَذَ الْمُدْيَةَ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِيَّاكَ وَالْحَلُوبَ فَذَبَحَ لَهُمْ فَأَكَلُوا مِنَ الشَّاةِ وَمِنْ ذَلِكَ الْعِذْقِ وَشَرِبُوا فَلَمَّا أَنْ شَبِعُوا وَرَوُوا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لأَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَتُسْأَلُنَّ عَنْ هَذَا النَّعِيمِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَخْرَجَكُمْ مِنْ بُيُوتِكُمُ الْجُوعُ ثُمَّ لَمْ تَرْجِعُوا حَتَّى أَصَابَكُمْ هَذَا النَّعِيمُ  

One day while Abu Bakr was sitting and there was with him Umar also there came to them Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said: What makes you stay here? They said: It is hunger that has brought us out from our houses. By Him Who has stint you with Truth; the rest of the hadith is the same.  

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ بَيْنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ قَاعِدٌ وَعُمَرُ مَعَهُ إِذْ أَتَاهُمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَا أَقْعَدَكُمَا هَا هُنَا قَالاَ أَخْرَجَنَا الْجُوعُ مِنْ بُيُوتِنَا وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ خَلَفِ بْنِ خَلِيفَةَ  

When the ditch was dug, I saw Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him) feeling very hungry. I came to my wife and said to her: Is there anything with you? I have seen Messenger of Allah ﷺ feeling extremely hungry. She brought out a bag of provisions which contained a sa', of barley. We had also with us a lamb. I slaughtered it. She ground the flour. She finished (this work) along with me. I cut it into pieces and put it in the earthen pot and then returned to Allah's Apostle ﷺ (for inviting him). She said: Do not humiliate me in the presence of Messenger of Allah ﷺ and those who are with him. When I came to him I whispered to him saying: Messenger of Allah, we have slaughtered a lamb for you and she has ground a sa' of barley which we had with us. So you come along with a group of people with you. Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said loudly: O people of the ditch, Jabir has arranged a feast for you, so (come along). Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Do not remove your earthen pot from the hearth and do not bake the bread from the kneaded flour until I come. So I came and Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and he was ahead of the people; and I came to my wife and she said (to me): You will be humbled. I said: I did what you had asked me to do. She (his wife) said: I brought out the kneaded flour and Messenger of Allah ﷺ put some saliva of his in that and blessed It. He then put saliva in the earthen pot and blessed it and then said. Call another baker who can bake with you. and bring out the soup from it, but do not remove it from the hearth, and the guests were one thousand. (Jabir said): I take an oath by Allah that all of them ate (the food to their fill) until they left it and went away and our earthen pot was brimming over as before, and so was the case with our flour, or as Dahhak (another narrator) said: It (the flour) was in the same condition and loaves had been prepared from that.  

لَمَّا حُفِرَ الْخَنْدَقُ رَأَيْتُ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَمَصًا فَانْكَفَأْتُ إِلَى امْرَأَتِي فَقُلْتُ لَهَا هَلْ عِنْدَكِ شَىْءٌ فَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَمَصًا شَدِيدًا فَأَخْرَجَتْ لِي جِرَابًا فِيهِ صَاعٌ مِنْ شَعِيرٍ وَلَنَا بُهَيْمَةٌ دَاجِنٌ قَالَ فَذَبَحْتُهَا وَطَحَنَتْ فَفَرَغَتْ إِلَى فَرَاغِي فَقَطَّعْتُهَا فِي بُرْمَتِهَا ثُمَّ وَلَّيْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ لاَ تَفْضَحْنِي بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَمَنْ مَعَهُ قَالَ فَجِئْتُهُ فَسَارَرْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا قَدْ ذَبَحْنَا بُهَيْمَةً لَنَا وَطَحَنَتْ صَاعًا مِنْ شَعِيرٍ كَانَ عِنْدَنَا فَتَعَالَ أَنْتَ فِي نَفَرٍ مَعَكَ فَصَاحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ يَا أَهْلَ الْخَنْدَقِ إِنَّ جَابِرًا قَدْ صَنَعَ لَكُمْ سُورًا فَحَيَّهَلاَ بِكُمْ وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ تُنْزِلُنَّ بُرْمَتَكُمْ وَلاَ تَخْبِزُنَّ عَجِينَتَكُمْ حَتَّى أَجِيءَ فَجِئْتُ وَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقْدُمُ النَّاسَ حَتَّى جِئْتُ امْرَأَتِي فَقَالَتْ بِكَ وَبِكَ فَقُلْتُ قَدْ فَعَلْتُ الَّذِي قُلْتِ لِي فَأَخْرَجْتُ لَهُ عَجِينَتَنَا فَبَصَقَ فِيهَا وَبَارَكَ ثُمَّ عَمَدَ إِلَى بُرْمَتِنَا فَبَصَقَ فِيهَا وَبَارَكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ ادْعِي خَابِزَةً فَلْتَخْبِزْ مَعَكِ وَاقْدَحِي مِنْ بُرْمَتِكُمْ وَلاَ تُنْزِلُوهَا وَهُمْ أَلْفٌ فَأُقْسِمُ بِاللَّهِ لأَكَلُوا حَتَّى تَرَكُوهُ وَانْحَرَفُوا وَإِنَّ بُرْمَتَنَا لَتَغِطُّ كَمَا هِيَ وَإِنَّ عَجِينَتَنَا أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ الضَّحَّاكُ لَتُخْبَزُ كَمَا هُوَ  

I felt some feebleness in the voice of Messenger of Allah ﷺ and perceived that it was due to hunger; so have you anything with you? She said: Yes. She brought out barley loaves, then took out a head-covering of hers, in a part of which she wrapped those loaves and then put them beneath my mantle and covered me with a part of it. She then sent me to Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I set forth and found Messenger of Allah ﷺ sitting in the mosque in the company of some persons. I stood near them, whereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Has Abu Talha sent you? I said, Yes. He said: Is it for a feast? I said. Yes. Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to'those who were with him to get up He went forth and so I did before them, until I came to Abu Talha and informed him. Abu Talba said: Umm Sulaim, here comes Messenger of Allah ﷺ along with people and we do not have enough (food) to feed them. She said: Allah and His Messenger know best. Abu Talha went out (to receive him) Until he met Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Allah's Apostle ﷺ came forward along with him until they both (Messenger of Allah, along with Abu Talha) came in. Then Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Umm Sulaim. bring forth that which you have with you. She brought the bread. Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded that the bread be broken into small pieces, and when Umm Sulaim had squeezed a small waterskin and put seasoning on it, Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited something regarding it what Allah wished him to say. He then said: Allow ten (guests to come in and have their meals). He permitted them; they ate until they had their fill. They then went out. He (the Holy Prophet) again said: Permit ten (more) and he (the host gave permission to them. They ate until they had enough. Then they went out. he again said: Permit ten (more) until all the people had eaten to their fill, and they were seventy or eighty persons.  

سَمِعْتُ صَوْتَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ ضَعِيفًا أَعْرِفُ فِيهِ الْجُوعَ فَهَلْ عِنْدَكِ مِنْ شَىْءٍ فَقَالَتْ نَعَمْ فَأَخْرَجَتْ أَقْرَاصًا مِنْ شَعِيرٍ ثُمَّ أَخَذَتْ خِمَارًا لَهَا فَلَفَّتِ الْخُبْزَ بِبَعْضِهِ ثُمَّ دَسَّتْهُ تَحْتَ ثَوْبِي وَرَدَّتْنِي بِبَعْضِهِ ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَتْنِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ فَذَهَبْتُ بِهِ فَوَجَدْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ جَالِسًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَمَعَهُ النَّاسُ فَقُمْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَرْسَلَكَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ أَلِطَعَامٍ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِمَنْ مَعَهُ قُومُوا قَالَ فَانْطَلَقَ وَانْطَلَقْتُ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ حَتَّى جِئْتُ أَبَا طَلْحَةَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ يَا أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ قَدْ جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِالنَّاسِ وَلَيْسَ عِنْدَنَا مَا نُطْعِمُهُمْ فَقَالَتِ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ فَانْطَلَقَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ حَتَّى لَقِيَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَعَهُ حَتَّى دَخَلاَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ هَلُمِّي مَا عِنْدَكِ يَا أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ فَأَتَتْ بِذَلِكَ الْخُبْزِ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَفُتَّ وَعَصَرَتْ عَلَيْهِ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ عُكَّةً لَهَا فَأَدَمَتْهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ فِيهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَقُولَ ثُمَّ قَالَ ائْذَنْ لِعَشَرَةٍ فَأَذِنَ لَهُمْ فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا ثُمَّ خَرَجُوا ثُمَّ قَالَ ائْذَنْ لِعَشَرَةٍ فَأَذِنَ لَهُمْ فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا ثُمَّ خَرَجُوا ثُمَّ قَالَ ائْذَنْ لِعَشَرَةٍ حَتَّى أَكَلَ الْقَوْمُ كُلُّهُمْ وَشَبِعُوا وَالْقَوْمُ سَبْعُونَ رَجُلاً أَوْ ثَمَانُونَ  

Abu Talha sent me to Messenger of Allah ﷺ in order to invite him (for meal). She had prepared a meal. So I came and found Messenger of Allah ﷺ along with some people. He looked at me, and I felt shy and said: Accept the invitation of Abu Talha. He (the Holy Prophet) asked the people to get up. Thereupon Abu Talha said: Messenger of Allah, I have prepared something for you. Messenger of Allah ﷺ touched (the food) and invoked blessings upon it, and then said: Let ten persons from my Companions enter (the house). He then said: Eat, and (in the meanwhile) brought out something from between his fingers for them. They then began to eat until they had their fill and then went out. He then asked ten more men (to have the meal) and they ate to their fill, and the ten persons went on getting in (and eating the food) and then getting out until none was left amongst them who had not got in and eaten to his fill. He then collected (the remaining part of the food) and it (the quantity of the food) was the same (as it had been prior to the serving of guests).  

بَعَثَنِي أَبُو طَلْحَةَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ لأَدْعُوَهُ وَقَدْ جَعَلَ طَعَامًا قَالَ فَأَقْبَلْتُ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَعَ النَّاسِ فَنَظَرَ إِلَىَّ فَاسْتَحْيَيْتُ فَقُلْتُ أَجِبْ أَبَا طَلْحَةَ فَقَالَ لِلنَّاسِ قُومُوا فَقَالَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّمَا صَنَعْتُ لَكَ شَيْئًا قَالَ فَمَسَّهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَدَعَا فِيهَا بِالْبَرَكَةِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَدْخِلْ نَفَرًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِي عَشَرَةً وَقَالَ كُلُوا وَأَخْرَجَ لَهُمْ شَيْئًا مِنْ بَيْنِ أَصَابِعِهِ فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا فَخَرَجُوا فَقَالَ أَدْخِلْ عَشَرَةً فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا فَمَا زَالَ يُدْخِلُ عَشَرَةً وَيُخْرِجُ عَشَرَةً حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ إِلاَّ دَخَلَ فَأَكَلَ حَتَّى شَبِعَ ثُمَّ هَيَّأَهَا فَإِذَا هِيَ مِثْلُهَا حِينَ أَكَلُوا مِنْهَا  

Abu Talha sent me to Messenger of Allah ﷺ ; the rest of the hadith is the same, but 'there is a slight variation of wording that he said at the end (The Holy Prophet) took what was left (of the food) and collected it and then invoked blessings upon it and it returned to its original state. He (the Holy Prophet) then said Take this.  

بَعَثَنِي أَبُو طَلْحَةَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ بِنَحْوِ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ نُمَيْرٍ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِي آخِرِهِ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ مَا بَقِيَ فَجَمَعَهُ ثُمَّ دَعَا فِيهِ بِالْبَرَكَةِ قَالَ فَعَادَ كَمَا كَانَ فَقَالَ دُونَكُمْ هَذَا  

Abu Talha ordered Umm Sulaim to prepare a meal specially for Allah's Apostle ﷺ. He then sent me to him (to the Holy Prophet) ; the rest of the hadith is the same (but there is a slight variation of wording):" Messenger of Allah ﷺ placed his hand and mentioned the name of Allah upon that, and then said: Admit ten men. He (Abu Talha) admitted them and they got in. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Eat while mentioning the name of Allah upon it (the meal). They ate until eighty persons had taken the food. Then Allah's Apostle ﷺ had his meal and so the members of the household, and still they left some food."  

أَنْ تَصْنَعَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ طَعَامًا لِنَفْسِهِ خَاصَّةً ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَيْهِ وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ وَقَالَ فِيهِ فَوَضَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَدَهُ وَسَمَّى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ ائْذَنْ لِعَشَرَةٍ فَأَذِنَ لَهُمْ فَدَخَلُوا فَقَالَ كُلُوا وَسَمُّوا اللَّهَ فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ بِثَمَانِينَ رَجُلاً ثُمَّ أَكَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ وَأَهْلُ الْبَيْتِ وَتَرَكُوا سُؤْرًا  

" Abu Talha stood at the door (to welcome the honourable guest) until Messenger of Allah (may peacec be upon him) came there, He (Abu Talha) said to him: Messenger of Allah, the thing (we intend to offer you as a meal) is small in quantity. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Bring that, for Allah will soon bless it (and increase it).  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَقَالَ فِيهِ فَقَامَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ عَلَى الْبَابِ حَتَّى أَتَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّمَا كَانَ شَىْءٌ يَسِيرٌ قَالَ هَلُمَّهُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ سَيَجْعَلُ فِيهِ الْبَرَكَةَ  

Anas b. Malik reported this hadith (with a slight variation of wording) Then AlIah's Messenger ﷺ ate and the people of his house also ate. but (still) there was left a surplus, which they sent to their neighbours.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ وَقَالَ فِيهِ ثُمَّ أَكَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَكَلَ أَهْلُ الْبَيْتِ وَأَفْضَلُوا مَا أَبْلَغُوا جِيرَانَهُمْ  

Abu Talha saw Messenger of Allah ﷺ lying down upon his belly in the mosque. He came to Umm Sulaim and said: I saw Messenger of Allah ﷺ lying down upon the belly in the mosque, and I think he is hungry. The rest of the hadith is the same (but with the addition of these words) that Messenger of Allah ﷺ ate (the food) and so did Abu Talha, Umm Sulaim and Anas b. Malik, but there was left some. thing which we presented to our neighbours.  

رَأَى أَبُو طَلْحَةَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مُضْطَجِعًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ يَتَقَلَّبُ ظَهْرًا لِبَطْنٍ فَأَتَى أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ فَقَالَ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مُضْطَجِعًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ يَتَقَلَّبُ ظَهْرًا لِبَطْنٍ وَأَظُنُّهُ جَائِعًا وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ وَقَالَ فِيهِ ثُمَّ أَكَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَبُو طَلْحَةَ وَأُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ وَأَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ وَفَضَلَتْ فَضْلَةٌ فَأَهْدَيْنَاهُ لِجِيرَانِنَا  

I visited Messenger of Allah ﷺ one day and found him sitting in the company of his Companions and talking to them, and he had tied his belly with a bandage. Usama said: I am in doubt whether there was stone on that (his belly) or not. I asked some of his Companions why Messenger of Allah ﷺ had bandaged his belly. They said: (He has done that to relieve) his hunger. I went to Abu Talha, the husband of Umm Sulaim, the daughter of Milhan, and said to him: Father, I saw Messenger of Allah ﷺ having bandaged his belly. I asked some of his Companions (the reason of it) and they said that it was due to hunger. Abu Talha came to mv mother and said: Is there anything? She said: Yes, I have some pieces of bread with me and some dates. If Messenger of Allah ﷺ comes to us alone we can feed him to his fill, but if someone comes along with him this would be insufficient for them. The rest of the hadith is the same.  

أَنَّحَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ جِئْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمًا فَوَجَدْتُهُ جَالِسًا مَعَ أَصْحَابِهِ يُحَدِّثُهُمْ وَقَدْ عَصَّبَ بَطْنَهُ بِعِصَابَةٍ قَالَ أُسَامَةُ وَأَنَا أَشُكُّ عَلَى حَجَرٍ فَقُلْتُ لِبَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ لِمَ عَصَّبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَطْنَهُ فَقَالُوا مِنَ الْجُوعِ فَذَهَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي طَلْحَةَ وَهُوَ زَوْجُ أُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ بِنْتِ مِلْحَانَ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَتَاهُ قَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَصَّبَ بَطْنَهُ بِعِصَابَةٍ فَسَأَلْتُ بَعْضَ أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالُوا مِنَ الْجُوعِ فَدَخَلَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ عَلَى أُمِّي فَقَالَ هَلْ مِنْ شَىْءٍ فَقَالَتْ نَعَمْ عِنْدِي كِسَرٌ مِنْ خُبْزٍ وَتَمَرَاتٌ فَإِنْ جَاءَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَحْدَهُ أَشْبَعْنَاهُ وَإِنْ جَاءَ آخَرُ مَعَهُ قَلَّ عَنْهُمْ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ سَائِرَ الْحَدِيثِ بِقِصَّتِهِ  

Anas b. Malik reported this hadith pertaining to the entertainment of Messenger of Allah ﷺ by Abu Talha through another chain of transmitters.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي طَعَامِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِهِمْ  

A tailor invited Messenger of Allah ﷺ to a meal which he had prepared. Anas b. Malik said: I went along with Messenger of Allah ﷺ to that feast. He presented to Messenger of Allah ﷺ barley bread and soup containing pumpkin, and sliced pieces of meat. Anas said: I saw Messenger of Allah ﷺ going after the pumpkin round the dish, so I have always liked the pumpkin since that day.  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ إِنَّ خَيَّاطًا دَعَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِطَعَامٍ صَنَعَهُ قَالَ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ فَذَهَبْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى ذَلِكَ الطَّعَامِ فَقَرَّبَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ خُبْزًا مِنْ شَعِيرٍ وَمَرَقًا فِيهِ دُبَّاءٌ وَقَدِيدٌ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَتَتَبَّعُ الدُّبَّاءَ مِنْ حَوَالَىِ الصَّحْفَةِ قَالَ فَلَمْ أَزَلْ أُحِبُّ الدُّبَّاءَ مُنْذُ يَوْمَئِذٍ  

When I saw that I began to place it before him, and did not eat it (myself). Anas said: It was since then that pumpkin was always my favourite (food).  

دَعَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَجُلٌ فَانْطَلَقْتُ مَعَهُ فَجِيءَ بِمَرَقَةٍ فِيهَا دُبَّاءٌ فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَأْكُلُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الدُّبَّاءِ وَيُعْجِبُهُ قَالَ فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُ ذَلِكَ جَعَلْتُ أُلْقِيهِ إِلَيْهِ وَلاَ أَطْعَمُهُ قَالَ فَقَالَ أَنَسٌ فَمَا زِلْتُ بَعْدُ يُعْجِبُنِي الدُّبَّاءُ
