Do not narrate to Abu Talha about his son until I narrate it to him. Abu Talha came (home) ; she presented to him the supper. He took it and drank water. She then embellished herself which she did not do before. He (Abu Talha) had a sexual intercourse with her and when she saw that he was satisfied after sexual intercourse with her, she said: Abu Talha, if some people borrow something from another family and then (the members of the family) ask for its return, would they resist its return? He said: No. She said: I inform you about the death of your son. He was annoyed, and said: You did not inform me until I had a sexual intercourse with you and you later on gave me information about my son. He went to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and informed him what had happened. Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: May Allah bless both of you in the night spent by you! He (the narrator) said: She became pregnant. Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him) was in the course of a journey and she was along with him and when Messenger of Allah ﷺ came back to Medina from the journey he did not enter (his house) (during the night). When the people came near Medina, she felt the pangs of delivery. He (Abu Talha) remained with her and Messenger of Allah ﷺ proceeded on. Abu Talha said: O Lord, you know that I love to go along with Messenger of Allah when he goes out and enter along with him when he enters and I have been detained as Thou seest. Umm Sulaim said: Abu Talha, I do not feel (so much pain) as I was feeling formerly, so better proceed on. So we proceeded on and she felt the pangs of delivery as they reached (Medina) and a child was born and my mother said to me: Anas, none should suckle him until you go to Messenger of Allah ﷺ tomorrow morning. And when it was morning I carried him (the child) and went along with him to Messenger of Allah (may peace beupon him). He said: I saw that he had in his hand the instrument for the cauterisation of the camels. When he saw me. he said: This is, perhaps, what Umm Sulaim has given birth to. I said: Yes. He laid down that instrument on the ground. I brought that child to him and placed it in his lap and Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked Ajwa dates of Medina to be brought and softened them in his month. When these had become palatable he placed them in the mouth of that child. The child began to taste them. Then Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: See what love the Ansar have for dates. He then wiped his face and named him 'Abdullah. (Using translation from Muslim 2144d)

[Machine] That Abu Talhah saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ pale, so he went to Umm Sulaym and said, "Do you have anything?" She said, "We only have some dough made from barley flour." He said, "Knead it and make it into bread, perhaps the Prophet ﷺ may come and eat with us." So she kneaded it and baked it, and out came a loaf. He said, "Invite the Prophet ﷺ for me." I came to the Prophet ﷺ and with him were some people. Mubarak bin Fadalah, who, I think, numbered about eighty-eight, said: "I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, Abu Talhah is inviting you.' He said to his companions, 'Go and answer Abu Talhah's invitation.' So I hurried until I told him that he had come, and his companions (also). Bakr said: 'He then followed me closely (perspiring so hard that) he was drenched.' Thabit said: 'Abu Talhah told the Messenger of Allah ﷺ : "You know what I have in my house better than I do, and Anas said that they both said: 'Then he greeted him and Abu Talhah said: 'O Messenger of Allah we have nothing but a loaf of bread, and I saw you (pale) so I ordered Umm Sulaym to make that a loaf of bread.' He said: 'One bearing of a piece of fat or something?' Abu Talhah said: 'There is something in a container.' So he brought it and the Prophet ﷺ and Abu Talhah squeezed it until something came out. Then the Prophet ﷺ wiped with some of it with his index finger, then he wiped the loaf with it and it inflated and he said: "Bismillah (in the name of Allah). And he continued to do that and the loaf would inflate until I saw the loaf expanding in the container. The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Invite ten of my Companions also.' So I invited ten of them and he put his hand in the middle of the loaf and said: 'Eat in the name of Allah.' So they ate from around the loaf until they were full. Then he said: 'Invite ten more.' He kept inviting ten more until about eighty or ninety ate from that loaf until they were full. Then in the middle where the Messenger of Allah ﷺ put his hand, it remained as it was."  

أَنَّ أَبَا طَلْحَةَ رَأَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ طَاوِيًا فَأَتَى أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ فَقَالَ هَلْ عِنْدَكِ شَيْءٌ؟ فَقَالَتْ مَا عِنْدَنَا إِلَّا نَحْوُ مُدٍّ مِنْ دَقِيقِ شَعِيرٍ قَالَ فَاعْجِنِيهِ وَأَصْلِحِيهِ عَسَى أَنْ نَدْعُوَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَيَأْكُلَ عِنْدَنَا قَالَ فَعَجَنَتْهُ وَخَبَزَتْهُ فَجَاءَ قُرْصًا فَقَالَ ادْعُ لِيَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَمَعَهُ نَاسٌ قَالَ مُبَارَكُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ أَحْسِبُهُ بَضْعَةً وَثَمَانِينَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ يَدْعُوكَ فَقَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ «أَجِيبُوا أَبَا طَلْحَةَ» فَجِئْتُ مُسْرِعًا حَتَّى أَخْبَرْتُهُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ جَاءَ وَأَصْحَابُهُ قَالَ بَكْرٌ فَقَفَدَنِي قَفْدًا وَقَالَ ثَابِتٌ قَالَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا فِي بَيْتِي مِنِّي وَقَالَا جَمِيعًا عَنْ أَنَسٍ فَاسْتَقْبَلَهُ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا عِنْدَنَا شَيْءٌ إِلَّا قُرْصٌ رَأَيْتُكَ طَاوِيًا فَأَمَرْتُ أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ فَجَعَلَتْ ذَلِكَ قُرْصًا قَالَ فَدَعَا بِالْقُرْصِ وَدَعَا بِجَفْنَةٍ فَوَضَعَهُ فِيهَا وَقَالَ «هَلْ مِنْ سَمْنٍ؟ » قَالَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ وَكَانَ فِي الْعُكَّةِ شَيْءٌ فَجَاءَ بِهَا فَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَأَبُو طَلْحَةَ يَعْصِرَانِهَا حَتَّى خَرَجَ شَيْءٌ فَمَسَحَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِهِ سَبَّابَتَهُ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ الْقُرْصَ فَانْتَفَخَ وَقَالَ «بِسْمِ اللَّهِ» فَانْتَفَخَ الْقُرْصُ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَصْنَعُ ذَلِكَ وَالْقُرْصُ يَنْتَفِخُ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ الْقُرْصَ فِي الْجَفْنَةِ يَتَمَيَّعُ فَقَالَ «ادْعُ عَشْرَةً مِنْ أَصْحَابِي» فَدَعَوْتُ لَهُ عَشْرَةً قَالَ فَوَضَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَدَهُ فِي وَسَطِ الْقُرْصِ وَقَالَ «كُلُوا بِسْمِ اللَّهِ» فَأَكَلُوا حَوَالَيِ الْقُرْصِ حَتَّى شَبِعُوا ثُمَّ قَالَ «ادْعُ لِي عَشْرَةً» فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَدْعُو عَشْرَةً عَشْرَةً يَأْكُلُونَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْقُرْصِ حَتَّى أَكَلَ مِنْهُ بَضْعَةٌ وَثَمَانُونَ مِنْ حَوَالَيِ الْقُرْصِ حَتَّى شَبِعُوا وَإِنَّ وَسَطَ الْقُرْصِ حَيْثُ وَضَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَدَهُ كَمَا هُوَ  

Abu Talha said to Um Sulaim, "I have noticed feebleness in the voice of Messenger of Allah ﷺ which I think, is caused by hunger. Have you got any food?" She said, "Yes." She brought out some loaves of barley and took out a veil belonging to her, and wrapped the bread in part of it and put it under my arm and wrapped part of the veil round me and sent me to Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I went carrying it and found Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the Mosque sitting with some people. When I stood there, Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "Has Abu Talha sent you?" I said, "Yes". He asked, "With some food? I said, "Yes" Allah's Apostle then said to the men around him, "Get up!" He set out (accompanied by them) and I went ahead of them till I reached Abu Talha and told him (of the Prophet's visit). Abu Talha said, "O Um Sulaim! Messenger of Allah ﷺ is coming with the people and we have no food to feed them." She said, "Allah and His Apostle know better." So Abu Talha went out to receive Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Allah's Apostle came along with Abu Talha. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Um Sulaim! Bring whatever you have." She brought the bread which Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered to be broken into pieces. Um Sulaim poured on them some butter from an oilskin. Then Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited what Allah wished him to recite, and then said, "Let ten persons come (to share the meal)." Ten persons were admitted, ate their fill and went out. Then he again said, "Let another ten do the same." They were admitted, ate their fill and went out. Then he again said, '"'Let another ten persons (do the same.)" They were admitted, ate their fill and went out. Then he said, "Let another ten persons come." In short, all of them ate their fill, and they were seventy or eighty men. (Using translation from Bukhārī 3578)
