Sayyiduna Wathilah bin al-Asqa' (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I was one of the People of the Suffah. My companions complained of hunger and said: "O Wathilah! Go to the Messenger of Allah and bring something for us to eat." I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! My companions have complained of hunger." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her): "Do you have anything?" She said: "O Messenger of Allah! I only have a few pieces of bread." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Bring that very thing to me." She brought a bag. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called for a bowl and put the bread into the bowl, then he began making tharid with his blessed hand, and that food began to increase until the bowl was full. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Wathilah! Go and bring ten of my Companions, you being the tenth of them." I went and brought ten of my companions, with myself as the tenth. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Sit down and start eating, taking the name of Allah. Eat from its sides and do not eat from its top part, for blessing descends upon its top part." Those people began eating until they were full, and then they got up, while the bowl held as much food as it had held before. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) again began smoothing it with his blessed hand until it began to increase, until the bowl was full. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Wathilah! Go and bring ten of your companions." I brought ten people. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Sit down." They sat down and ate until they were full, and stood up. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go and bring ten of your companions to me." I went again and brought ten people, and they did the same. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Is anyone left?" I said: "Yes, ten people are left." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go and bring them." I went and brought them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Sit down." They sat down and began eating until they were full, then they stood up, and the bowl held as much food as it had held before. Then he said: "O Wathilah! Take this to Aishah."
