حَدَّثَنَا عَارِمٌ، وَعَفَّانُ، قَالا: حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ عَفَّانُ فِي حَدِيثِهِ: قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عُثْمَانَ، أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، أَنَّ أَصْحَابَ الصُّفَّةِ كَانُوا أُنَاسًا فُقَرَاءَ، وَأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ مَرَّةً: " مَنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ طَعَامُ اثْنَيْنِ، فَلْيَذْهَبْ، ، بِثَالِثٍ - وَقَالَ عَفَّانُ: بِثَلاثَةٍ - وَمَنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ طَعَامُ أَرْبَعَةٍ، فَلْيَذْهَبْ بِخَامِسٍ سَادِسٍ " - أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ - وَأَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ جَاءَ بِثَلاثَةٍ، وَانْطَلَقَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِعَشَرَةٍ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ بِثَلاثَةٍ - قَالَ عَفَّانُ: بِسَادِسٍ - (١)،

Abdur-Rahman bin Abi Bakr narrated that:
Ashabus-Suffah were poor people. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said on one occasion: “Whoever has food for two, let him take a third person with him - ‘Affan said: three people, whoever has food for four, let him take a fifth and sixth person with him,” or words to that effect. Abu Bakr came with three people and the Prophet (ﷺ) took ten people with him, and Abu Bakr took three.
