Hadith 1713

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَبِي ، يَقُول : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عُثْمَانَ ، أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، أَنَّ أَصْحَابَ الصُّفَّةِ كَانُوا أُنَاسًا فُقَرَاءَ ، وَأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , قَالَ : " مَنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ طَعَامُ اثْنَيْنِ فَلْيَذْهَبْ بِثَلَاثَةٍ ، وَمَنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ طَعَامُ أَرْبَعَةٍ فَلْيَذْهَبْ بِخَامِسٍ بِسَادِسٍ " ، أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ وَأَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ جَاءَ بِثَلَاثَةٍ , وَانْطَلَقَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِعَشَرَةٍ ، قَالَ : فَهُوَ وَأَنَا وَأَبِي وَأُمِّي وَلَا أَدْرِي ، هَلْ قَالَ : امْرَأَتِي وَخَادِمٌ بَيْنَ بَيْتِنَا وَبَيْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Companions of Suffa were poor people. On one occasion, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever has food for two people should take a third with him, and whoever has food for four should take a fifth or sixth with him." Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) took three people with him, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took ten individuals with him. Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman (may Allah be pleased with him) says that in my house, besides myself, there were my parents, (he probably also mentioned his wife), and a servant who was shared among us.
