When the Trench was dug, I saw the Prophet ﷺ in the state of severe hunger. So I returned to my wife and said, "Have you got anything (to eat), for I have seen Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a state of severe hunger." She brought out for me, a bag containing one Sa of barley, and we had a domestic she animal (i.e. a kid) which I slaughtered then, and my wife ground the barley and she finished at the time I finished my job (i.e. slaughtering the kid). Then I cut the meat into pieces and put it in an earthenware (cooking) pot, and returned to Messenger of Allah ﷺ . My wife said, "Do not disgrace me in front of Allah's Apostle and those who are with him." So I went to him and said to him secretly, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I have slaughtered a she-animal (i.e. kid) of ours, and we have ground a Sa of barley which was with us. So please come, you and another person along with you." The Prophet ﷺ raised his voice and said, "O people of Trench ! Jabir has prepared a meal so let us go." Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me, "Don't put down your earthenware meat pot (from the fireplace) or bake your dough till I come." So I came (to my house) and Messenger of Allah ﷺ too, came, proceeding before the people. When I came to my wife, she said, "May Allah do so-and-so to you." I said, "I have told the Prophet ﷺ of what you said." Then she brought out to him (i.e. the Prophet ﷺ the dough, and he spat in it and invoked for Allah's Blessings in it. Then he proceeded towards our earthenware meat-pot and spat in it and invoked for Allah's Blessings in it. Then he said (to my wife). Call a lady-baker to bake along with you and keep on taking out scoops from your earthenware meat-pot, and do not put it down from its fireplace." They were onethousand (who took their meals), and by Allah they all ate, and when they left the food and went away, our earthenware pot was still bubbling (full of meat) as if it had not decreased, and our dough was still being baked as if nothing had been taken from it.  

لَمَّا حُفِرَ الْخَنْدَقُ رَأَيْتُ بِالنَّبِيِّ ﷺ خَمَصًا شَدِيدًا فَانْكَفَأْتُ إِلَى امْرَأَتِي فَقُلْتُ هَلْ عِنْدَكِ شَىْءٌ فَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَمَصًا شَدِيدًا فَأَخْرَجَتْ إِلَىَّ جِرَابًا فِيهِ صَاعٌ مِنْ شَعِيرٍ وَلَنَا بُهَيْمَةٌ دَاجِنٌ فَذَبَحْتُهَا وَطَحَنَتِ الشَّعِيرَ فَفَرَغَتْ إِلَى فَرَاغِي وَقَطَّعْتُهَا فِي بُرْمَتِهَا ثُمَّ وَلَّيْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ لاَ تَفْضَحْنِي بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَبِمَنْ مَعَهُ فَجِئْتُهُ فَسَارَرْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ذَبَحْنَا بُهَيْمَةً لَنَا وَطَحَنَّا صَاعًا مِنْ شَعِيرٍ كَانَ عِنْدَنَا فَتَعَالَ أَنْتَ وَنَفَرٌ مَعَكَ فَصَاحَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا أَهْلَ الْخَنْدَقِ إِنَّ جَابِرًا قَدْ صَنَعَ سُورًا فَحَىَّ هَلاً بِكُمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ تُنْزِلُنَّ بُرْمَتَكُمْ وَلاَ تَخْبِزُنَّ عَجِينَكُمْ حَتَّى أَجِيءَ فَجِئْتُ وَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقْدُمُ النَّاسَ حَتَّى جِئْتُ امْرَأَتِي فَقَالَتْ بِكَ وَبِكَ فَقُلْتُ قَدْ فَعَلْتُ الَّذِي قُلْتِ فَأَخْرَجَتْ لَهُ عَجِينًا فَبَصَقَ فِيهِ وَبَارَكَ ثُمَّ عَمَدَ إِلَى بُرْمَتِنَا فَبَصَقَ وَبَارَكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ ادْعُ خَابِزَةً فَلْتَخْبِزْ مَعِي وَاقْدَحِي مِنْ بُرْمَتِكُمْ وَلاَ تُنْزِلُوهَا وَهُمْ أَلْفٌ فَأُقْسِمُ بِاللَّهِ لَقَدْ أَكَلُوا حَتَّى تَرَكُوهُ وَانْحَرَفُوا وَإِنَّ بُرْمَتَنَا لَتَغِطُّ كَمَا هِيَ وَإِنَّ عَجِينَنَا لَيُخْبَزُ كَمَا هُوَ  

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. (Using translation from Muslim 2039)   

سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ لَمَّا حُفِرَ الْخَنْدَقُ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَمَصًا شَدِيدًا قَالَ فَانْكَفَأْتُ إِلَى امْرَأَتِي فَقُلْتُ أَنِّي رَأَيْتُ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَمَصًا شَدِيدًا فَأَخْرَجَتْ إِلَيَّ جِرَابًا فِيهِ صَاعٌ مِنْ شَعِيرٍ وَلَنَا بَهِيمَةٌ دَاجِنٌ قَالَ فَذَبَحَتْهَا وَطَحَنَتْ صَاعًا فَجِئْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَشَاوَرْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ ذَبَحْنَا بَهِيمَةً لَنَا وَطَحَنْتُ صَاعًا مِنْ شَعِيرٍ كَانَ عِنْدَنَا فَتَعَالَ أَنْتَ وَنَفَرٌ مَعَكَ قَالَ فَصَاحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَا أَهْلَ الْخَنْدَقِ إِنَّ جَابِرًا قَدْ صَنَعَ سُورًا فَحَيَّ هَلَّا بِكُمْ» فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا تُنْزِلُنَّ بُرْمَتَكُمْ وَلَا تَخْبِزُنَّ عَجِينَتَكُمْ حَتَّى أَجِيءَ» قَالَ فَجِئْتُ وَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَدَمَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى جِئْتُ امْرَأَتِي فَأَخْرَجَتْ لَهُ عَجِينًا فَبَصَقَ فِيهِ وَبَارِكْ ثُمَّ قَالَ «ادْعُو لِي خَابِزَةً فَلْتَخْبِزْ مَعَكِ وَأَفْرِغُوا مِنْ بُرْمَتِكُمْ وَلَا تُنْزِلُوهَا» وَهُمْ أَلْفٌ فَأَقْسَمَ جَابِرٌ بِاللَّهِ تَعَالَى لَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى تَرَكُوا وَانْصَرَفُوا وَإِنَّ بُرْمَتِنَا لَتَغِطُّ كَمَا هِيَ وَإِنَّ عَجِينَتَنَا لَتُخْبَزُ كَمَا هِيَ «هَذَا لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ أَبِي عَمْرٍو فِي لَفْظِ أَبِي الْعَبَّاسِ اخْتِصَارٌ
