حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ , حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ , حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ الطَّوِيلُ , عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ , قَالَ : صَنَعَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خُبْزَةً , وَضَعَتْ فِيهَا شَيْئًا مِنْ سَمْنٍ , ثُمَّ قَالَتْ : اذْهَبْ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَادْعُهُ , قَالَ : فَأَتَيْتُهُ , فَقُلْتُ : أُمِّي تَدْعُوكَ , قَالَ : فَقَامَ وَقَالَ لِمَنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ مِنَ النَّاسِ : " قُومُوا " ، قَالَ : فَسَبَقْتُهُمْ إِلَيْهَا فَأَخْبَرْتُهَا , فَجَاءَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , فَقَالَ : " هَاتِي مَا صَنَعْتِ " , فَقَالَتْ : إِنَّمَا صَنَعْتُهُ لَكَ وَحْدَكَ , فَقَالَ : " هَاتِيهِ " , فَقَالَ : " يَا أَنَسُ أَدْخِلْ عَلَيَّ عَشَرَةً عَشَرَةً " , قَالَ : فَمَا زِلْتُ أُدْخِلُ عَلَيْهِ عَشَرَةً عَشَرَةً , فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا وَكَانُوا ثَمَانِينَ .
´It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said:` “Umm Sulaim made some bread for the Prophet (ﷺ), and she put a little ghee on it. Then she said: ‘Go to the Prophet (ﷺ) and invite him (to come and eat).’ So I went and told him: ‘My mother is inviting you (to come and eat).’ So he stood up, and said to the people who were with him: ‘Get up.’ I went ahead of him and told her. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) came and said: ‘Bring what you have made.’ She said: ‘I only made it for you alone.’ He said: ‘Bring it.’ Then he said: ‘O Anas, bring (them) in to me ten by ten.’ So I kept bringing them in ten by ten, and they ate their fill, and there were eighty of them.”
Brief Explanation
1؎: SubhanAllah! The food of one person sufficed for eighty people. In this hadith, a great miracle of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) is mentioned, and miracles of this kind occurred from him (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) many times and on various occasions. A similar miracle is also mentioned in the Gospel regarding Isa (alayhis salam). And this is not contrary to reason; it is possible for a small thing to become abundant. Rather, before the power of Allah Ta'ala, this is extremely easy. If He wills, He can make a speck of dust as great as a mountain in an instant, and a mountain as small as a speck of dust. Those whose intellects are corrupted harbor doubts and suspicions about such matters; they have not yet learned to distinguish between what is possible and what is impossible. And those things which are possible, they ignorantly consider impossible, and thus deny the power of Allah Ta'ala. May Allah Ta'ala protect every Muslim from their evil.
