عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ صَنَعْنَا لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَخَّارَةً فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِهَا فَوَضَعْتُهَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَاطَّلَعَ فِيهَا فَقَالَ حَسِبْتُهُ لَحْمًا فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِأَهْلِي فَذَبَحُوا لَهُ شَاةً
Syedna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that we had made a vessel of pebbles for the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). I brought that vessel to him and placed it before him. He (peace and blessings be upon him) looked into it and said: I think there is meat in it. I mentioned this to the people at home (and we understood that the Prophet [peace and blessings be upon him] desired to eat meat), so they slaughtered a goat for him (peace and blessings be upon him).
