Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 4075 — I prepared food for the Prophet ﷺ and Abu

حَدَّثَنَا الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ الْخَطَّابِيُّ، ثنا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ أَبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، ثنا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى، ثنا سَعِيدٌ الْجُرَيْرِيُّ، ثنا أَبُو الْوَرْدِ، عَنْ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ، قَالَ: صَنَعْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَبِي بَكْرٍ طَعَامًا قَدْرَ مَا يَكْفِيهُمَا، فَأَتَيْتُهُمَا بِهِ فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «اذْهَبْ فَادْعُ لِي ثَلَاثِينَ مِنْ أَشْرَافِ الْأَنْصَارِ» فَشَقَّ عَلَيَّ ذَلِكَ، قُلْتُ: مَا عِنْدِي شَيْءٌ أَزِيدُهُ، فَكَأَنِّي تَغَفَّلْتُ، فَقَالَ: «اذْهَبْ فَادْعُ لِي ثَلَاثِينَ مِنْ أَشْرَافِ الْأَنْصَارِ» فَدَعَوْتُهُمْ فَجَاءُوا فَقَالَ: «اطْعَمُوا» فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى صَدَرُوا ثُمَّ شَهِدُوا أَنَّهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ بَايَعُوهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْرُجُوا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «اذْهَبْ فَادْعُ لِي سِتِّينَ مِنْ أَشْرَافِ الْأَنْصَارِ» ، قَالَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ: وَاللهِ لَأَنَا بِسِتِّينَ أَجْوَدُ مِنِّي بِالثَّلَاثِينَ، قَالَ: فَدَعَوْتُهُمْ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «تَوَقَّفُوا» فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى صَدَرُوا، ثُمَّ شَهِدُوا أَنَّهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ بَايَعُوهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْرُجُوا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «اذْهَبْ فَادْعُ لِي تِسْعِينَ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ» ، قَالَ: فَلَأَنَا أَجْوَدُ بِالتِّسْعِينَ وَالسِّتِّينَ مِنِّي بِالثَّلَاثِينَ، قَالَ: فَدَعَوْتُهُمْ فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى صَدَرُوا، ثُمَّ شَهِدُوا أَنَّهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ بَايَعُوهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْرُجُوا، فَأَكَلَ مِنْ طَعَامِي ذَلِكَ مِائَةٌ وَثَمَانُونَ رَجُلًا كُلُّهُمْ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him); he said: I prepared food for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), enough to suffice the two of them, and took it to them. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "Go and invite thirty of the notables of the Ansar to me." This weighed heavily upon me; I said (to myself): I have nothing more than this. It was as if I became somewhat inattentive, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) said again: "Go and invite thirty of the notables of the Ansar to me." So I invited them, and when they came he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Eat." They ate until they were satisfied and left; then they testified that he was the Messenger of Allah, and pledged allegiance to him before going out. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go and invite sixty of the notables of the Ansar to me." Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) said: By Allah, inviting sixty felt even easier to me than thirty. So I invited them, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Wait a little." They ate until they were satisfied and left; then they testified that he was the Messenger of Allah, and pledged allegiance to him before going out. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go and invite ninety of the Ansar to me." (Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him)) said: Now inviting ninety and sixty felt even easier to me than thirty. So I invited them, and they ate until they were satisfied and left; then they testified that he was the Messenger of Allah, and pledged allegiance to him before going out. Thus one hundred and eighty men ate from that food of mine, all of them from the Ansar.
