حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ ، يَقُولُ : قَالَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ : لِأُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ لَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ صَوْتَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ضَعِيفًا أَعْرِفُ فِيهِ الْجُوعَ فَهَلْ عِنْدَكِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ ، قَالَتْ : نَعَمْ ، فَأَخْرَجَتْ أَقْرَاصًا مِنْ شَعِيرٍ ، ثُمَّ أَخْرَجَتْ خِمَارًا لَهَا فَلَفَّتِ الْخُبْزَ بِبَعْضِهِ ثُمَّ دَسَّتْهُ تَحْتَ يَدِي وَلَاثَتْنِي بِبَعْضِهِ ، ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَتْنِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : فَذَهَبْتُ بِهِ فَوَجَدْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَمَعَهُ النَّاسُ فَقُمْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ ، فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَأَرْسَلَكَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ ، فَقُلْتُ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : بِطَعَامٍ ، فَقُلْتُ : نَعَمْ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : لِمَنْ مَعَهُ قُومُوا فَانْطَلَقَ وَانْطَلَقْتُ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ حَتَّى جِئْتُ أَبَا طَلْحَةَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ ، فَقَالَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ : يَا أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ قَدْ جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالنَّاسِ وَلَيْسَ عِنْدَنَا مَا نُطْعِمُهُمْ ، فَقَالَتْ : اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ فَانْطَلَقَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ حَتَّى لَقِيَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وأَبُو طَلْحَةَ مَعَهُ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : هَلُمِّي يَا أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ مَا عِنْدَكِ فَأَتَتْ بِذَلِكَ الْخُبْزِ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَفُتَّ وَعَصَرَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ عُكَّةً فَأَدَمَتْهُ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : فِيهِ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَقُولَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : ائْذَنْ لِعَشَرَةٍ فَأَذِنَ لَهُمْ فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا ثُمَّ خَرَجُوا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : ائْذَنْ لِعَشَرَةٍ فَأَذِنَ لَهُمْ فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا ثُمَّ خَرَجُوا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : ائْذَنْ لِعَشَرَةٍ فَأَذِنَ لَهُمْ فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا ثُمَّ خَرَجُوا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : ائْذَنْ لِعَشَرَةٍ فَأَكَلَ الْقَوْمُ كُلُّهُمْ وَشَبِعُوا وَالْقَوْمُ سَبْعُونَ أَوْ ثَمَانُونَ رَجُلًا " .
Narrated Anas bin Malik: Abu Talha said to Um Sulaim, "I have noticed feebleness in the voice of Allah's Apostle which I think, is caused by hunger. Have you got any food?" She said, "Yes." She brought out some loaves of barley and took out a veil belonging to her, and wrapped the bread in part of it and put it under my arm and wrapped part of the veil round me and sent me to Allah's Apostle. I went carrying it and found Allah's Apostle in the Mosque sitting with some people. When I stood there, Allah's Apostle asked, "Has Abu Talha sent you?" I said, "Yes". He asked, "With some food? I said, "Yes" Allah's Apostle then said to the men around him, "Get up!" He set out (accompanied by them) and I went ahead of them till I reached Abu Talha and told him (of the Prophet's visit). Abu Talha said, "O Um Sulaim! Allah's Apostle is coming with the people and we have no food to feed them." She said, "Allah and His Apostle know better." So Abu Talha went out to receive Allah's Apostle. Allah's Apostle came along with Abu Talha. Allah's Apostle said, "O Um Sulaim! Bring whatever you have." She brought the bread which Allah's Apostle ordered to be broken into pieces. Um Sulaim poured on them some butter from an oilskin. Then Allah's Apostle recited what Allah wished him to recite, and then said, "Let ten persons come (to share the meal)." Ten persons were admitted, ate their fill and went out. Then he again said, "Let another ten do the same." They were admitted, ate their fill and went out. Then he again said, '"'Let another ten persons (do the same.)" They were admitted, ate their fill and went out. Then he said, "Let another ten persons come." In short, all of them ate their fill, and they were seventy or eighty men.

Hadith Commentary:
➊
The aforementioned incident occurred on the occasion of the Battle of Ahzab.
Abu Talhah (radi Allahu anhu) noticed signs of weakness on the radiant face of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam). In one narration, it is mentioned that Anas (radi Allahu anhu) saw the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) with a cloth tied around his stomach.
He learned that the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) had done this due to hunger. He says, “I mentioned this to Abu Talhah (radi Allahu anhu), so he arranged food to the best of his ability.”
(Sahih Muslim, Al-Ashribah, Hadith: 5323(2040))
In one narration, it is mentioned that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) touched the ghee with the finger next to the thumb, then wiped his hand over the bread, and it became large.
He recited “Bismillah,” and in this way, the bread kept increasing until a large vessel was filled with that bread.
(Sahih Ibn Hibban bil-Laban: 94/12)
In another narration, it is mentioned that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) recited “Bismillah” and supplicated:
“O Allah! Put blessing in it.”
(Musnad Ahmad: 242/3)
In any case, so much blessing was placed in that small amount of food that seventy or eighty people ate to their fill.
In the end, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and his family partook of it.
Even then, food was left over, so it was distributed among the neighbors.
(Sahih Muslim, Al-Ashribah, Hadith: 5321(2040))
In one narration, it is mentioned that the food which remained, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) gathered it in one place and supplicated for blessing upon it, so it became as much as it was before.
(Sahih Muslim, Al-Ashribah, Hadith: 5318(2040))
➋
Previously, the miracle was the multiplication of water.
From this hadith, the miracle of the multiplication of food is known.
An even more wondrous miracle is that which Jabir (radi Allahu anhu) has narrated: People complained of hunger to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), so he said:
“Allah will surely provide for it.”
Thereafter, we came to the seashore, and the sea cast out a very large fish.
We lit a fire on the shore and roasted it, eating from it for several days.
It was so large that five men could sit hidden inside the socket of its eye. Then we stood one of its rib bones upright on the ground, and a tall man, who was also tall among camels, passed underneath it, and he passed easily.
His head did not strike the top.
(Sahih Muslim, Al-Zuhd wal-Raqa’iq, Hadith: 7520, 3014)
