أَبُو السَّلِيلِ، عَنْ صُهَيْبٍ

[Machine] I cooked food for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, then I went to him while he was sitting with a group. I stood in front of him and he motioned to me, so I motioned back to him. He asked, "And these people?" I replied, "No." So he remained silent. I returned to my place, and when he looked at me, I motioned to him again. He asked, "And these people?" Again, I replied, "No." He did this two or three times, and then I said, "Yes, these people." And it was only a small amount that I made for him. He came and they came with him, and they ate, and I consider it a favor from him.  

صَنَعْتُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ طَعَامًا فَأَتَيْتُهُ وَهُوَ فِي نَفَرٍ جَالِسٌ فَقُمْتُ حِيَالَهُ فَأَوْمَأَتُ إِلَيْهِ فَأَوْمَأَ إِلَيَّ «وَهَؤُلَاءِ؟» فَقُلْتُ لَا فَسَكَتُّ فَقُمْتُ مَكَانِيَ فَلَمَّا نَظَرَ إِلَيَّ أَوْمَأْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ «وَهَؤُلَاءِ؟» فَقُلْتُ لَا مَرَّتَيْنِ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ وَهَؤُلَاءِ وَإِنَّمَا كَانَ شَيْئًا يَسِيرًا صَنَعْتُهُ لَهُ فَجَاءَ وجَاءُوا مَعَهُ فَأَكَلُوا وَأَحْسَبُهُ قَالَ وَفَضَلَ مِنْهُ
