Feeding people

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) reports this statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "In Paradise there are upper chambers whose outside can be seen from the inside and whose inside can be seen from the outside." Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Messenger of Allah! Who will receive them?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "The one who speaks gently, feeds others, and spends the night standing (in prayer) for Allah Almighty while people are asleep."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I said, "O Prophet of Allah! When I see you, my soul is gladdened and my eyes are cooled. Tell me about everything." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Everything has been created from water." Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I said, "Tell me about something which, if I adopt it, I will enter Paradise." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Spread the greeting of peace, feed others, maintain the ties of kinship, and pray at night when people are asleep; then you will enter Paradise in peace."
Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih, except the narrator Abu Maymunah, and he is thiqah (trustworthy).

Hamzah bin Suhayb narrates: Sayyiduna Suhayb (may Allah be pleased with him) used the kunyah Abu Yahya, he used to say that he was of Arab descent, and he used to feed people a great deal. Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him, "O Suhayb! Why do you use the kunyah Abu Yahya when you have no child? And you say that you are of Arab descent, and you also feed people a great deal; this amounts to extravagance with wealth." Sayyiduna Suhayb (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him the kunyah Abu Yahya. "As for what you said about lineage, I belong to al-Namir bin Qasit, who are from the people of Mosul, but I was taken captive as a small boy, though even then I had awareness of my family and my people. As for what you said about food, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Feed others and return the greeting of peace.' So it is this that motivates me to feed people." (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: Ibn Majah recorded a part of this narration.

Habib bin Abi Thabit narrates: One of the wives of Sayyiduna Imam Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) prepared food at some place on his land. He ate, and then the food was removed. Meanwhile a slave of his came, and Imam Husayn called for the food. The slave said, "O Abu Abdullah! I do not want to eat." Imam Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) asked, "Why is that?" He said, "A little while ago we ate at the house of Sayyiduna Ubaydullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both)." Imam Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "His father was the chief of Quraysh. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'O Banu Abd al-Muttalib! Feed others and speak good words.'"

Sayyiduna Imran bin Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) says: Those who fed others have departed, and they were the ones from whom food was sought; and those who gave admonition have departed, and those who cause forgetfulness remain.
