Abu Huraira reported that Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) went out (of his house) one day or one night, and there he found Abu Bakr and 'Umar also. He said: What has brought you out of your houses at this hour? They said: Allaah's Messenger, it is hunger. Thereupon he said: By Him in Whose Hand is my life, what has brought you out has brought me out too; get up. They got up along with him. and (all of them) came to the house of an Ansari, but he was not at home. When his wife saw him she said: Most welcome, and Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said to her: Where is so and so? She said: He has gone to get some fresh water for us. When the Ansari came and he saw Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) and his two Companions, he said: Praise be to Allaah, no one has more honourable guests today than I (have). He then went out and brought them a bunch of ripe dates, dry dates and fresh dates, and said: Eat some of them. He then took hold of his long knife (for slaughtering a goat or a sheep). Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said to him: Beware of killing a milch animal. He slaughtered a sheep for them and after they had eaten of it and of the bunch and drank, and when they had taken their fill and had been fully satisfied with the drink, Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said to Abu Bakr and Umar: By Him in Whose Hand is my life, you will certainly be questioned about this bounty on the Day of judgment. Hunger brought you out of your house, then you did not return until this bounty came to you.

Anas b. Malik reported that Abu Talha said to Umm Sulaim: I felt some feebleness in the voice of Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) and perceived that it was due to hunger; so have you anything with you? She said: Yes. She brought out barley loaves, then took out a head-covering of hers, in a part of which she wrapped those loaves and then put them beneath my mantle and covered me with a part of it. She then sent me to Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam). I set forth and found Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) sitting in the mosque in the company of some persons. I stood near them, whereupon Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Has Abu Talha sent you? I said, Yes. He said: Is it for a feast? I said. Yes. Thereupon Allaah's messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said to'those who were with him to get up He went forth and so I did before them, until I came to Abu Talha and informed him. Abu Talba said: Umm Sulaim, here comes Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) along with people and we do not have enough (food) to feed them. She said: Allaah and His Messenger know best. Abu Talha went out (to receive him) Until he met Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) and Allaah's Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) came forward along with him until they both (Allaah's Messenger, along with Abu Talha) came in. Then Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Umm Sulaim. bring forth that which you have with you. She brought the bread. Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) commanded that the bread be broken into small pieces, and when Umm Sulaim had squeezed a small waterskin and put seasoning on it, Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) recited something regarding it what Allaah wished him to say. He then said: Allow ten (guests to come in and have their meals). He permitted them; they ate until they had their fill. They then went out. He (the Prophet) again said: Permit ten (more) and he (the host gave permission to them. They ate until they had enough. Then they went out. he again said: Permit ten (more) until all the people had eaten to their fill, and they were seventy or eighty persons.
