Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: We were working in the trench along with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). I had a small, healthy goat of young age. I thought that we should cook this goat for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to eat. I instructed my wife, so she ground some barley and prepared flour, and baked bread for us. The goat was slaughtered and we roasted it for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). When evening came and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to return from the trench, Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) says: We used to work during the day and return to our families in the evening. I said: O Messenger of Allah! We had a small goat, which I have prepared for you, and there are some barley loaves as well. I wish that you would come with me to my house. Sayyiduna Jabir says: I wanted the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to come with me alone, but when I made this request to him, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: All right. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered a caller to announce, so he announced: Go to Jabir’s house with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) says: When I heard the announcement of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I recited: “Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return.” Nevertheless, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and others with him came. He (peace and blessings be upon him) sat down, and we presented the prepared food before him. He (peace and blessings be upon him) made a supplication for blessing and, taking the name of Allah, ate the food. After him, people came one after another; when one group finished and got up, another group came, until all the people of the trench had eaten.
