حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ حَمَّادٌ، وَالْجَعْدُ قَدْ ذَكَرَهُ، قَالَ: عَمَدَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ إِلَى نِصْفِ مُدٍّ شَعِيرٍ، فَطَحَنَتْهُ، ثُمَّ عَمَدَتْ إِلَى عُكَّةٍ كَانَ فِيهَا شَيْءٌ مِنْ سَمْنٍ، فَاتَّخَذَتْ مِنْهُ خَطِيفَةً، قَالَ: ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَتْنِي إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. قَالَ: فَأَتَيْتُهُ وَهُوَ فِي أَصْحَابِهِ، فَقُلْتُ: إِنَّ أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ، ، أَرْسَلَتْنِي إِلَيْكَ تَدْعُوكَ. فَقَالَ: " أَنَا وَمَنْ مَعِي؟ "، قَالَ: فَجَاءَ هُوَ وَمَنْ مَعَهُ. قَالَ: فَدَخَلْتُ، فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي طَلْحَةَ: قَدْ جَاءَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَنْ مَعَهُ، فَخَرَجَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ، فَمَشَى إِلَى جَنْبِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ: إِنَّمَا هِيَ خَطِيفَةٌ اتَّخَذَتْهَا أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ مِنْ نِصْفِ مُدٍّ شَعِيرٍ. قَالَ: فَدَخَلَ فَأُتِيَ بِهِ، قَالَ: فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ فِيهَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " أَدْخِلْ عَشَرَةً "، قَالَ: فَدَخَلَ عَشَرَةٌ، فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ عَشَرَةٌ فَأَكَلُوا (١) ، ثُمَّ عَشَرَةٌ فَأَكَلُوا (١) ، ثُمَّ عَشَرَةٌ فَأَكَلُوا (١) ، حَتَّى أَكَلَ مِنْهَا أَرْبَعُونَ كُلُّهُمْ أَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا، قَالَ: وَبَقِيَتْ كَمَا هِيَ، قَالَ: فَأَكَلْنَا (٢)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once Umm Sulaim (may Allah be pleased with her) took some barley equal to half a mudd, then picked up a container of ghee, took out a little ghee from it, and by mixing both things together, prepared "khateefah" (a type of food), and sent me to invite the Prophet (ﷺ) for food. When I reached the Prophet (ﷺ), he was sitting among the noble companions (may Allah be pleased with them). I said to the Prophet (ﷺ) that Umm Sulaim (may Allah be pleased with her) has sent me to invite you for food. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Me and my companions as well?" Saying this, the Prophet (ﷺ) set out with his companions. I quickly reached home and said to Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) has brought his companions as well. Hearing this, Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) went towards the Prophet (ﷺ) and, walking beside him, said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! There is only a little 'khateefah' here, which Umm Sulaim has made from barley equal to half a mudd." When the Prophet (ﷺ) reached their house, that food was brought to the Prophet (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ) placed his blessed hand on it and said, "Call ten people." So ten people came inside and ate to their fill, then in groups of ten, forty people ate that food and all ate to their fill, and the food remained as it was. We also ate from it.
