Jabir reported, when the trench was being dug, I noticed that the Prophet ﷺ was suffering from severe hunger. I went back to my wife and asked, "Do you have anything to eat? I have seen the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a state of severe hunger."She brought out a leather bag containing a saa of barley. We had a small domesticated lamb, so I slaughtered it and she ground the barley. We finished our tasks at the same time, and I cut the meat into pieces and put it in the cooking pot. Then I set off toward the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.My wife said, "Do not embarrass me before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and those with him."So I came to him and whispered to him, "Messenger of Allah, we have slaughtered a small lamb of ours and ground a saa of barley that we had. So come, you and a few people with you."But the Prophet ﷺ called out loudly, "People of the trench, Jabir has prepared a feast, so come along, all of you!"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, "Do not take down your pot, and do not bake your dough until I arrive."I went home, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came leading the people. When I reached my wife, she said, "How could you! How could you!"I replied, "I did exactly what you told me."She brought out the dough, and he spat into it and invoked blessing upon it. Then he turned to our pot, spat into it, and blessed it. Then he said, "Call a baker-woman to bake with me, and ladle from your pot but do not take it down."They were a thousand people. I swear by Allah, they all ate until they had their fill and left it behind, and our pot was still bubbling as it had been, and our dough was still being baked just as it was.
حدثني عمرو بن علي حدثنا أبو عاصم أخبرنا حنظلة بن أبي سفيان أخبرنا سعيد بن ميناء قال سمعت
لما حفر الخندق رأيت بالنبي ﷺ خمصا شديدا فانكفأت إلى امرأتي فقلت هل عندك شيء فإني رأيت برسول الله ﷺ خمصا شديدا فأخرجت إلي جرابا فيه صاع من شعير ولنا بهيمة داجن فذبحتها وطحنت الشعير ففرغت إلى فراغي وقطعتها في برمتها ثم وليت إلى رسول الله ﷺ فقالت لا تفضحني برسول الله ﷺ وبمن معه فجئته فساررته فقلت يا رسول الله ذبحنا بهيمة لنا وطحنا صاعا من شعير كان عندنا فتعال أنت ونفر معك فصاح النبي ﷺ فقال يا أهل الخندق إن جابرا قد صنع سورا فحي هلا بهلكم فقال رسول الله ﷺ لا تنزلن برمتكم ولا تخبزن عجينكم حتى أجيء فجئت وجاء رسول الله ﷺ يقدم الناس حتى جئت امرأتي فقالت بك وبك فقلت قد فعلت الذي قلت فأخرجت له عجينا فبصق فيه وبارك ثم عمد إلى برمتنا فبصق وبارك ثم قال ادع خابزة فلتخبز معي واقدحي من برمتكم ولا تنزلوها وهم ألف فأقسم بالله لقد أكلوا حتى تركوه وانحرفوا وإن برمتنا لتغط كما هي وإن عجيننا ليخبز كما هو
