Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 14121

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Sayyiduna Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Sayyidah Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her), who is the mother of Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), and Sayyiduna Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) was the stepfather of Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him). He said: "O Umm Sulaym! Do you have anything? I passed by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was teaching Surah al-Nisa' to the People of the Suffah, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had tied a stone over his stomach because of hunger." Sayyidah Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) replied: "I have a little barley; I will grind it." The narrator says: After this he mentioned the whole hadith, in which, further on, are these words: So they set off at that time, and they numbered eighty. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was holding my hand. When I got near the house, I pulled my hand free from the hand of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Inside the house, Sayyiduna Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) began coming after me, throwing stones at me and saying: "You will put me to shame before the Messenger of Allah!" Then he went out before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and told him about the situation. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the people to sit down, then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went inside. We brought the pieces of bread to him, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Is there any curry?" Sayyidah Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "O Messenger of Allah, we have a container which I and Sayyiduna Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) have already squeezed out." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Bring that very thing! If three people squeeze it, that is more effective than two squeezing it." They brought that container to him, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) squeezed it with his blessed hand, then prayed for blessing in it, then he said: "Call ten people to me!" Those people ate until they were full and began to belch. After this the narrator mentioned the whole hadith, which is mentioned in the Sahih without this context.
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, and its chain is hasan (good).
