حَدَّثَنَا
يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ، حَدَّثَنَا
سُلَيْمَانُ يَعْنِي التَّيْمِيُّ ، عَنْ
أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ ، عَنْ
سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ : " أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
أُتِيَ بِقَصْعَةٍ فِيهَا ثَرِيدٌ ، فَتَعَاقَبُوهَا إِلَى الظُّهْرِ مِنْ غُدْوَةٍ ، يَقُومُ نَاسٌ وَيَقْعُدُ آخَرُونَ ، قَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ : هَلْ كَانَتْ تُمَدُّ ؟ قَالَ : فَمِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ تَعْجَبُ ؟ مَا كَانَتْ تُمَدُّ إِلَّا مِنْ هَاهُنَا وَأَشَارَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were present in the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when a bowl of tharid was brought. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ate from it, and the people also ate from it. People kept eating from it until near the time of Zuhr; a group would come and eat, then stand up, and after them another group would come, and this continued. Someone asked, "Is food being continuously added to this bowl?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "What are you amazed at? Blessing has been placed in it from the sky."
