عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي قَسِيمَةَ، عَنْ وَاثِلَةَ بْنِ الْأَسْقَعِ

[Machine] He said: "I was in the company of twenty men when we were struck by hunger. I was the youngest among them, so they sent me to complain to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about their hunger. I went to his house and he asked, 'Is there anything?' I said, 'Yes, here is a piece of bread and some milk.' He said, 'Bring it to me.' Then he broke the bread into small pieces and poured the milk over it, and held it in his hand until it turned into a large loaf. Then he said, 'O Wathilah, call ten of your companions and leave another ten as a replacement.' So I did as he asked. Then he said, 'Sit in the name of Allah.' They sat down and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ took the large loaf and said, 'Eat from around it in the name of Allah, for blessings come from above it, and because it extends.' I saw them eating and picking at it with their fingers until they were fully satisfied. When they finished, he said to them, 'Go back to your places and send your companions to me.' I stood there amazed at what I had witnessed. Then the ten companions approached and he ordered them to do the same. They ate until they were fully satisfied. And indeed, there is a virtue in it."  

أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ كُنْتُ فِي الصُّفَّةِ وَهُمْ عِشْرُونَ رَجُلًا فَأَصَابَنَا جُوعٌ وَكُنْتُ أَحْدَثَ الْقَوْمَ سِنًّا فَبَعَثُونِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَشْكُو إِلَيْهِ جُوعَهُمْ فَالْتَفَتَ فِي بَيْتِهِ فَقَالَ هَلْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ هَهُنَا كِسْرَةٌ وَشَيْءٌ مِنْ لَبَنٍ قَالَ «ائْتِنِي بِهِ» فَفَتَّ الْكِسْرَةَ فَتًّا رَقِيقًا ثُمَّ صَبَّ عَلَيْهَا اللَّبَنَ ثُمَّ حَمَلَهُ بِيَدِهِ حَتَّى جَعَلَهُ كالثريدِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا وَاثِلَةُ ادْعُ لِي عَشَرَةً مِنْ أَصْحَابِكَ وَخَلِّفْ عَشَرَةً» فَفَعَلْتُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «اجْلِسُوا بِسْمِ اللهِ» فَجَلَسُوا فَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِرَأْسِ الثَّرِيدِ وَقَالَ «كُلُوا مِنْ حَوَالَيْهَا بِسْمِ اللهِ إِنَّ الْبَرَكَةَ تَأْتِيهَا مِنْ فَوْقِهَا وَلِأَنَّهَا تُمَدُّ» قَالَ فَرَأَيْتُهُمْ يَأْكُلُونَ يَتَخَلَّلُونَ أَصَابِعَهُمْ حَتَّى ثَمِلُوا شِبَعًا فَلَمَّا انْتَهَوْا قَالَ لَهُمْ «انْصَرَفُوا إِلَى مَكَانِكُمْ فَابْعَثُوا إِلَيَّ أَصْحَابَكُمْ» فَقُمْتُ مُتَعَجِّبًا لِمَا رَأَيْتُ فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَى الْعَشَرَةِ فَأَمَرَهُمْ بِمِثْلِ ذَلِكَ فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى ثَمِلُوا شِبَعًا وَإِنَّ فِيهَا لَفَضْلَةً
