It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyida Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) said to him: Say to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that if possible, please come and eat food at our place. I went and conveyed this message to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: And what about those who are with me? I said: Yes, them too. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: People! Get up. I went and told Sayyida Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) the whole matter. I was afraid of those people who were coming along with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), that how would the food suffice for so many people. Sayyida Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) said: Anas! What have you done? In the meantime, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Do you have any ghee? She replied: Yes! I had a leather container, in which there was some ghee. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Bring that container. Sayyida Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) says: I presented that container to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace and blessings be upon him) opened its lid and said: Bismillah, O Allah! Bless it abundantly. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Now turn this container over. She turned it over. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) squeezed it well while taking the name of Allah, and she put all that ghee into the pot. More than eighty people ate from it and plenty of food was left over. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) handed that pot to Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) and said: Here, you eat as well and feed your neighbors too.
