Abu Talha said to Umm Sulaym, "I heard the voice of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sounding weak, and I recognized hunger in it. Do you have anything?"She replied, "Yes."She brought out some loaves of barley bread, then took out a head-covering of hers, wrapped the bread in part of it, tucked it under my arm, draped the rest over me, and sent me to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.I took it to him and found the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sitting in the mosque with people around him. I stood before them.The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "Did Abu Talha send you?"I said, "Yes."He asked, "With food?"I said, "Yes."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to those with him, "Get up."They set off, and I went ahead of them until I reached Abu Talha and informed him.Abu Talha said, "Umm Sulaym, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has come with people, and we have nothing to feed them."Umm Sulaym said, "Allah and His Messenger know best."Abu Talha went out and met the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, who came forward with Abu Talha until they entered.The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Bring what you have, Umm Sulaym."She brought him that bread, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered it to be crumbled. Umm Sulaym squeezed out a small skin of butter she had to season it. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said over it whatever Allah willed him to say.Then he said, "Admit ten."Ten were admitted, and they ate until they were full and went out.Then he said, "Admit ten."They were admitted, ate until they were full, and went out. The whole group ate and were satisfied, and they numbered seventy or eighty men.
حدثنا إسحق بن موسى الأنصاري حدثنا معن قال عرضت على مالك بن أنس عن إسحق بن عبد الله بن أبي طلحة أنه سمع
قال أبو طلحة لأم سليم لقد سمعت صوت رسول الله ﷺ يعني ضعيفا أعرف فيه الجوع فهل عندك من شيء فقالت نعم فأخرجت أقراصا من شعير ثم أخرجت خمارا لها فلفت الخبز ببعضه ثم دسته في يدي وردتني ببعضه ثم أرسلتني إلى رسول الله ﷺ قال فذهبت به إليه فوجدت رسول الله ﷺ جالسا في المسجد ومعه الناس قال فقمت عليهم فقال رسول الله ﷺ أرسلك أبو طلحة فقلت نعم قال بطعام فقلت نعم فقال رسول الله ﷺ لمن معه قوموا قال فانطلقوا فانطلقت بين أيديهم حتى جئت أبا طلحة فأخبرته فقال أبو طلحة يا أم سليم قد جاء رسول الله ﷺ والناس معه وليس عندنا ما نطعمهم قالت أم سليم الله ورسوله أعلم قال فانطلق أبو طلحة حتى لقي رسول الله ﷺ فأقبل رسول الله ﷺ وأبو طلحة معه حتى دخلا فقال رسول الله ﷺ هلمي يا أم سليم ما عندك فأتته بذلك الخبز فأمر به رسول الله ﷺ ففت وعصرت أم سليم بعكة لها فآدمته ثم قال فيه رسول الله ﷺ ما شاء الله أن يقول ثم قال ائذن لعشرة فأذن لهم فأكلوا حتى شبعوا ثم خرجوا ثم قال ائذن لعشرة فأذن لهم فأكلوا حتى شبعوا ثم خرجوا فأكل القوم كلهم وشبعوا والقوم سبعون أو ثمانون رجلا
