(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَاصِمٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا
حُصَيْنُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ
عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى ، عَنْ
أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : " أَتَى أَبُو طَلْحَةَ بِمُدَّيْنِ مِنْ شَعِيرٍ ، فَأَمَرَ بِهِ ، فَصُنِعَ طَعَامًا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي : يَا أَنَسُ ، انْطَلِقْ ، ائْتِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَادْعُهُ ، وَقَدْ تَعْلَمُ مَا عِنْدَنَا ، قَالَ : فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَصْحَابُهُ عِنْدَهُ ، فَقُلْتُ : إِنَّ أَبَا طَلْحَةَ يَدْعُوكَ إِلَى طَعَامِهِ ، فَقَامَ ، وَقَالَ لِلنَّاسِ : قُومُوا ، فَقَامُوا ، فَجِئْتُ أَمْشِي بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي طَلْحَةَ ، فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ ، قَالَ : فَضَحْتَنَا ، قُلْتُ إِنِّي لَمْ أَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ أَرُدَّ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمْرَهُ ، فَلَمَّا انْتَهَى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الْبَابِ ، قَالَ لَهُمْ : اقْعُدُوا ، وَدَخَلَ عَاشِرَ عَشَرَةٍ ، فَلَمَّا جَلَسَ أُتِيَ بِالطَّعَامِ ، تَنَاوَلَ فَأَكَلَ ، وَأَكَلَ مَعَهُ الْقَوْمُ حَتَّى شَبِعُوا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمْ : قُومُوا وَلْيَدْخُلْ عَشَرَةٌ مَكَانَكُمْ ، حَتَّى دَخَلَ الْقَوْمُ كُلُّهُمْ وَأَكَلُوا . قَالَ : قُلْتُ : كَمْ كَانُوا ؟ قَالَ : كَانُوا نَيِّفًا وَثَمَانِينَ ، قَالَ : وَأَفْضَلَ لِأَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ مَا أَشْبَعَهُمْ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once Hazrat Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) brought two measures of barley and asked for food to be prepared, then said to me, "Anas! Go and invite the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and you know what we have." I reached the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and he was sitting among the noble Companions (may Allah be pleased with them). I said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that Hazrat Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) has sent me to invite you for food. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Me and my companions as well?" Saying this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) set out with his companions. I quickly reached home and said to Hazrat Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has brought his companions as well. Hearing this, Hazrat Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "You have put us to shame." I said, "I could not refuse the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)." When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) reached their house, he said, "Sit down." Then ten people entered and ate to their fill, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was with them. Then, in groups of ten, all the people ate that food and everyone ate to their fill. The narrator says that I asked Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) how many people were there? He replied that they were a little over eighty, and enough was left for the household that they too could eat to their fill.
