Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 14125

Sayyidah Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her), who is the honoured wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), narrates: One day the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came and said: "O daughter of Huyayy! Do you have anything (that can be eaten)? For I am hungry." I said: "By Allah, no, O Messenger of Allah! There are only two mudd of flour." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Prepare that, then." Sayyidah Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) says: I put it in the cooking pot and began to cook it. I said: "O Messenger of Allah, it is cooked." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you know whether there is anything in the vessel of the daughter of Abu Bakr?" I said: "O Messenger of Allah! I do not know." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went himself until he went to the house of Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her). He said: "O daughter of Abu Bakr! Is there anything in your vessel?" She replied: "There is nothing in it; there will only be a little ghee." So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) brought it himself, and he squeezed its two edges into the cooking pot, until I saw what was coming out. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) placed his blessed hand and said: "With the name of Allah, go and call your sisters, for I know that they too must be feeling what I am feeling." So I brought the other pure wives, and we ate until we were full. Then Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) came and entered, then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came and entered, then another man came. Sayyidah Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) says: All of them ate until they were all full, and food was still left over.
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; its chain contains a narrator, Hudayj bin Mu'awiyah, who has been declared trustworthy despite his weakness, and the remaining narrators of this report are thiqat (trustworthy).
