Pait ka Qufl e Madina | The Excellence of Hunger
many people. We do not have enough food to serve all of them.’ She replied, ‘Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and His Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم know better.’
Sayyidunā Abū Ṭalḥaĥ رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ went and took the Prophet of Raḥmaĥ, the Intercessor of Ummaĥ صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم to his house. The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, ‘O Umm-e-Sulaym (رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهَا)! Bring whatever you have.’ She presented the same pieces of bread. On the instruction of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, the breads were broken up. Sayyidatunā Umm-e-Sulaym رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهَا poured some clarified butter on breads which was used as gravy. The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم then read what Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ willed and blew on them. He صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم then said, ‘Let ten of them enter.’ Therefore, ten entered, ate the bread till their stomach became full and then left. He صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم ordered again, ‘Call another ten.’ Another ten came, ate and left. He صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم kept calling companions in the group of ten until all of them ate and their hunger was satisfied. There were about seventy or eighty companions. (Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim, vol. 2, pp. 178, Ḥadīš 2040)
According to another narration, ten would enter and ten would exit until none of them remained hungry, and all of them ate till they were full. When the Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم finally gathered the food, the amount of food was the same as was in the beginning. Another narration says, ten companions ate food at a time until all the eighty companions ate. After this, the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and the household consumed food but it still remained. In another narration, it is also stated that the remaining food was given to the neighbours. (Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim, vol. 2, pp. 178, Ḥadīš 2040)
May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ have mercy on them and forgive us without accountability for their sake!
