Hazrat Abdur Rahman bin Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Ashab-e-Suffah were poor and destitute people, and the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said that whoever has food for two people in his house should take a third (from among the Ashab-e-Suffah) with him. And whoever has food for four people should take a fifth or sixth person from among the people of the shade with him. So Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) brought three people with him, and the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took ten people with him. Abdur Rahman bin Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that at that time, the members of the household were my father, my mother, and myself. Also, my wife and a servant who was for both my house and (my father) Abu Bakr’s (may Allah be pleased with him) house, were present. Anyway, Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) stayed at the place of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). (And probably ate there as well. The situation was such that) he remained there (in the mosque) until the Isha prayer. Then he came to the blessed chamber of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) from the mosque and stayed there until the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had also eaten. And after a part of the night had passed, when Allah Almighty willed, he came home, and his wife (Umm Ruman) said: What happened that you did not even inquire about the guests, or she said, you did not inquire about the guest. He asked, have you not yet given them dinner? Umm Ruman said, what could I do, they refused to eat until you came. They were asked to eat, but they did not agree. Abdur Rahman bin Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that I hid in fear. Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) called out (to Abdur Rahman), O Ghunsar! (meaning, O naughty one) He scolded and cursed. He said, eat, may it not be blessed for you! By Allah! I will never eat this food. (Eventually, the guests were fed) (Abdur Rahman, may Allah be pleased with him, said) Allah is witness that whenever we took a morsel, there was more food underneath than before. He narrated that everyone ate to their fill, and the food was left over even more than before. When Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) saw, the food was as much as before or even more. He said to his wife, O sister of Banu Firas! What is this matter? She said, by the coolness of my eyes! This is three times more than before. Then Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) also ate that food and said, my swearing was a satanic whisper. Then he took a morsel from it. And he took the remaining food to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and presented it to him. It remained with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) until morning. Abdur Rahman said that we Muslims had a treaty with people of another tribe. And the duration of the treaty had ended. (A delegation from that tribe had come to Madinah to discuss the treaty) We separated twelve men from among them, and only Allah knows how many people were with each of them, all of them ate from it. Abdur Rahman (may Allah be pleased with him) said something similar.
