It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyidah Umm Ayman (may Allah be pleased with her) presented to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as a gift a bird (placed) between two loaves of bread. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came and asked: "Do you have anything (to eat)?" She brought him the bird, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his hands and supplicated: 'Allahumma'tini bi-ahabbi khalqika ilayka ya'kulu ma'i min hadha al-ta'ir' (O Allah, bring me the one of Your creation who is most beloved to You, to eat with me from this bird). (Meanwhile) Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) came, and I said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is busy." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had only just come in a little while earlier. He (peace and blessings be upon him) ate something from that bird, then raised his hand and supplicated (again): 'Allahumma'tini bi-ahabbi khalqika ilayka ya'kulu ma'i min hadha al-ta'ir' (O Allah, bring me the one of Your creation who is most beloved to You, to eat with me from this bird). Then Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) came, and voices were raised between him and me (because of the exchange), whereupon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever it is, let him come in." So he entered. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said three times: "O my Lord, (this is my) wali (friend)." Then he ate together with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) until both of them had finished.
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from al-Awza'i (may Allah have mercy on him) except Abd al-Razzaq (may Allah have mercy on him), and Salamah (may Allah have mercy on him) is alone in narrating it from him."
