The people of Suffah were poor folk, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever has food enough for two, let him take a third along, and whoever has food enough for four, let him take a fifth and a sixth," or something to that effect.Abu Bakr brought three guests, and the Prophet of Allah ﷺ took ten with him.The narrator said, So it was him and myself, my father, and my mother, and I do not know whether he also mentioned my wife and a servant who served between our house and the house of Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him.
حدثنا عفان حدثنا معتمر بن سليمان قال سمعت أبي يقول حدثنا أبو عثمان أنه حدثه
أن أصحاب الصفة كانوا أناسا فقراء وأن رسول الله ﷺ قال من كان عنده طعام اثنين فليذهب بثلاثة ومن كان عنده طعام أربعة فليذهب بخامس بسادس أو كما قال وأن أبا بكر جاء بثلاثة وانطلق نبي الله ﷺ بعشرة قال فهو وأنا وأبي وأمي ولا أدري هل قال امرأتي وخادم بين بيتنا وبيت أبي بكر رضي الله تعالى عنه
